Xbox players racing to grab £3.95 "knockout" role-player game

Xbox players are scrambling to get their hands on a highly acclaimed role-player game, Scarlet Nexus, which is currently available for just £3.95. Developed by the creators of Elden Ring and Pac-Man, Scarlet Nexus is set in a futuristic world where humans possess extra-sensory powers, while deranged mutants with a craving for brains emerge.

An anime-style game with a dedicated single-player experience

Released in 2021, Scarlet Nexus offers a dedicated single-player experience. Unfortunately, it is not a co-op game. However, players are raving about the game's value for money, considering its low price tag. The Bandai Namco studio title is compatible with Xbox One, PS4, and PS5, and has even inspired a TV adaptation series under the same name.

One player review on Metacritic described Scarlet Nexus as "easily one of the best new JRPGs I've played in years." The reviewer praised the game's AAA-style treatment of an anime-style hack & slash game, and its ability to deliver a captivating story set in a world in perpetual war with a mysterious entity called the Others. Another player mentioned how impressed they were with the game, even though they weren't typically a fan of anime games.

While many players have praised Scarlet Nexus, there are some who found it to be quite forgettable. One player expressed that while the gameplay loop was enjoyable, the story and characters didn't resonate with them. Despite this, they acknowledged that it is still worth playing, especially at such a low price.
