Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is an action RPG about a pair of spirit hunters who deal with curses in new lands. Heroes can see ghosts and talk to them. Decisions are divided into two ways: letting go of the spirit or expelling it by force. The relationship and the ending depend on the choice. The world is divided into areas with settlements and remote places, and tasks are submitted by requests from residents. Fights take place in real time, and skills are unlocked along the way. Skills are divided by style, and some of them work only against certain spirits. Decisions change relationships and open scenes. The tasks are submitted by requests from residents, and some are related to local customs. Weapons are improved for the materials found. The characters' conversations progress along the way and change as the plot progresses. Besides the fighting, there is a lot of talking and exploring the area. The relationships of the characters are visible through their remarks and actions. Quests are divided into story and side quests. Weapons are upgraded for materials. I’ll separately say about the choice: depending on whether the hero lets go of the spirit or expels it, both lines and entire scenes change. The relationship between the two characters can be seen in small things, and this keeps the interest until the end. Separately, I will say that the atmosphere here is based on fog, light and sound, and not on chases. Some places open only after a certain choice. In addition to spirits, there are enough ordinary people in the world with their own troubles. Conversations are sometimes more important than battles, and this is noticeable in the tasks. Leveling up comes from completing tasks, and not from killings alone. The story is based on conversations between a couple of main characters. For those players who love stories about spirits and choices, this game is suitable.
