Team up and take on a world of mutant chaos

Anima Flux is an adventure game. It is a cooperative Metroidvania experience that places players in a dystopian space city under mutant siege. You play as one of two elite soldiers, each with unique abilities that complement one another as they navigate a world governed by a theocratic regime.  

Anima Flux’s couch co-op mode invites players to team up, using each character’s strengths to take on complex boss fights and survive relentless mutant hordes. For players who prefer solo play, the game adapts seamlessly to the single-player mode, allowing flexible play without sacrificing the experience.

Unleash the power of anima 

Combat in Anima Flux is intense and requires strategy, especially with different enemies that necessitate tactical approaches. Players are encouraged to use each soldier’s abilities to create unique combat maneuvers, while the ability to transfer your anima (or life force) between the characters adds a fresh twist. Boss battles are challenging, demanding coordination, and strategy that strengthens the team dynamic, or allows solo players to think creatively about their approach.  

Exploration is rewarding, revealing hidden lore and storylines that unfold through hand-drawn cutscenes and immersive dialogues. The game also presents a morally complex narrative that keeps players engaged beyond combat, addressing questions of survival, humanity, and governance ethics. The retro 80s-90s sci-fi aesthetic and hand-drawn visuals lend a nostalgic yet modern feel, perfect for fans of gritty sci-fi adventures.  

The game’s mixture of challenging enemies, intriguing story elements, and cooperative gameplay make it a standout in the Metroidvania genre, especially for players who enjoy a mix of story and skill-based action. However, the solo mode can feel challenging without partner support, the combat can be intense for casual players, some levels may feel repetitive, and the difficulty may frustrate new players.

Explore a grim world 

Anima Flux offers a unique co-op Metroidvania experience that combines intense action with a compelling, story-driven journey through a dystopian space city. Players take on the roles of two genetically enhanced soldiers, each with distinct skills that complement one another in combat. The gameplay revolves around cooperative strategies, with players coordinating to face swarms of dangerous mutants and tackle challenging boss fights.
