Launched in Japan a couple of weeks ago, Gate of Nightmares is a new mobile RPG with character designs done by Hiro Mashima, the man behind Fairy Tail and Edens Zero. Naturally, everyone will see heavy similarities in some of the characters here. Developed by Square Enix, the game is headed by protagonists Emma (who is capable of controlling demons from nightmares) and Azel (who attracts demons). Each character in the game has its own unique skills and backstory, along with the usual elemental weakness and strength.
In case you did not notice, I skipped all the cutscenes, which made the overall gameplay way too long. I do understand some players like listening to extended stories and dialogues, so if you do, Gate of Nightmares is the mobile game for you! Gate of Nightmares other main features include the collection and fusing of Nightmares (similar to a pet system), the myriad of gacha characters, and of course the art by Hiro Mashima. I did not feel much depth in this game after the first couple of hours, so it remains to be seen if it performs well enough to head overseas.
At current press time, Gate of Nightmares has also started a collaboration event with Fairy Tail! I supposed that another campaign with EDENS ZERO is unavoidable…
