With a name like Beast of Reincarnation you might expect this to be a game full of aggressive enemies and intense combat. And it is. Yet it's not long before you start to discover that there are layers to this world, and the people who live in it. Layers that make this a strong and deep experience rather than a fun but shallow action game.
Don't get me wrong; there is a lot of fighting. That's almost exclusively what you'll be doing, and in fact, I found it greatly amusing that I came across a grand total of one puzzle in my playthrough. You take the role of Emma, a young woman who is tasked with killing the titular Beast, the source of post-apocalyptic Japan's Blight that mutates animals, spreads pretty but corrupted foliage, and kills people. Before she can do so however, she'll need to kill many of the giant creatures known as Nushi in order to absorb their power, and cleanse the surrounding areas as she buffs up. There's no shortage of lesser enemies standing between her and each Nushi, either.
