Introducing Neverness to Everness, an exhilarating new gacha game that has captured the attention of every fan of the popular anime, Dandadan. Scheduled for release as a free-to-play title, this game promises to deliver a unique experience tailored to the series’ enthusiastic following.
Dandadan has emerged as one of the standout anime of the year, captivating audiences globally with its supernatural shonen narrative. Each episode boasts remarkable animation, exhilarating action, and a vibrant cast of characters that keeps viewers eagerly anticipating the next installment. This was particularly true following the intense emotional rollercoaster that was Episode 7, which left fans both thrilled and heartbroken.
A Supernatural Style Gacha Game
The distinct visual flair of Dandadan is a significant factor in its popularity. The anime continues to provide a feast for the eyes, presenting stunning scenes that fans can’t help but admire. Whether it’s Okarun and Momo’s high-speed chases through the neon-lit streets of Shono City or the poignant backstory of Acrobatic Silky, every moment is packed with visual delight.
The environments in Neverness to Everness reflect a similar aesthetic, showcasing creepy, otherworldly settings. Although the game has yet to launch, early gameplay reveals a polished style that mirrors the anime’s vibrancy and fluidity. Players will find themselves in urban landscapes that evoke the yokai-infested realms Okarun and Momo navigate.
As showcased in the trailer, the game begins innocuously with a white-haired girl running down a typical street. However, as she explores a nearby alley, the mood shifts dramatically. Sinister music replaces the bustling city sounds and followed soon by an ominous blood-red ooze creeping along the walls.
As the girl confronts floating objects and trapped behind a wall of vending machines, she must unleash her supernatural abilities to defeat malevolent foes. This arena-style gameplay, demanding players to overcome yokai obstacles before progressing, recalls a pivotal moment from Episode 2, where Okarun and Momo encounter a similar barrier under the torii gate.
Urban Environment Filled with Otherworldly Creatures
Reflecting the essence of Dandadan‘s Kamigoe City, Neverness to Everness features ordinary citizens coexisting with enigmatic beings lurking in the background. This juxtaposition is refreshing, especially considering that many competing gacha games like Genshin Impact and Wuthering Waves typically present more conventional fantasy landscapes.
Hotta Studio’s Producer, Kee Zhang, shares that the game includes dynamic non-player characters (NPCs) with “destinations and genuine actions.” Whether these NPCs can perceive the yokai in their midst remains to be seen, but players will likely assume the role of heroic hunters battling threats that remain hidden from view.
The enemy designs promise to be as bizarre as they are captivating, featuring peculiarities like arm-wielding vending machines, walking trash bins, and creeping shadows inhabiting empty classrooms and dark alleyways. Fans eagerly anticipate the chance to encounter whimsical characters, perhaps including a few glimpses of Turbo Granny.
Engaging Combat with a Supernatural Flare
The combat mechanics in Neverness to Everness will resonate with fans of games like Genshin Impact and Zenless Zone Zero. Utilizing a four-character party system, players will be able to switch between characters and orchestrate powerful combo attacks.
The character roster prominently features supernatural abilities. For instance, one standout character, Sakiri, wields a ghost as a hammer, delivering significant damage. Another character, Nanally, is an esper who channels energy into her strikes and commands a demonic cat that aids in her battles.
As excitement builds around Neverness to Everness, fans now eagerly await a catchy theme song to match the game’s vibrant energy – we’re looking at you, Otonoke!
