Story-driven action RPG
Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is a pay-to-play action-adventure game that tells the story of Antea Duarte and Red Mac Raith, two lovers who are Banishers, dedicated to protecting the living from lingering ghosts and specters. However, after a disastrous mission, Antea is fatally wounded and transformed into one of the very spirits she despises.
Together, they embark on a journey through the haunted wilds of North America, searching for a way to free Antea from her newfound plight. Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden also lets players tackle haunting cases and dive into the lives of New Eden's communities.
Immersive gameplay and complex narrative
Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden's gameplay allows players to utilize their wits, Antea's spiritual powers, and Red's arsenal of weapons to combat and banish the souls tormenting the living. Throughout the game, players will face challenging decisions that profoundly impact the story and the fate of New Eden's inhabitants, whether they are living people or wandering spirits. The moral ambiguity of these choices adds depth and complexity to the narrative.
Aside from putting players in thought-provoking situations that compromise their ghost-hunting vow, this role-playing game also allows players to switch between controlling Antea and Red, utilizing their unique abilities and powers to battle supernatural forces. By unlocking new gear and abilities, players can also unleash the full power of the Banishers, enhancing their effectiveness in combating the otherworldly threats they encounter.
As players progress, they will unravel the ancient secrets and hidden mysteries of the mystical world of New Eden. However, it's important to note that this game is not suitable for all ages due to depictions of frequent violence or gore and general mature content. It also delves into dark and mature themes, making it unsuitable for viewing in certain settings, such as the workplace.
