That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicles is the new game from Bandai Namco which brings our favorite slime Rimuru back to action in a very particular game like this one. And it’s been a long time since we played a game of this type that was RPG type and combined so well the mechanics it handles with the anime style, so it could become an entertaining title for people. So here we tell you a little more about That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicles.
The time I was reincarnated as a slime ISEKAI Chronicles: A great fantasy adventure
The history of That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime
First of all, the story of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicles gives us an introduction to how Rimuru arrived to this new world, met the dragon Veldora and how he got his amazing powers that will undoubtedly be of great help in this new adventure. As for the main plot we can see the beginnings of the Jura Tempest Federation, delving into the life of the inhabitants and the needs that arise day by day.
The plot follows the original story, skipping a little to the beginnings of the founding of Jura Termpest and the battle of the kingdom of Falmuth, and those who saw this work will know how intense the fighting is and it is certainly a new way to see this part of the story. Of course, it would be quite monotonous to see this story again with quite similar parts, so some new stories created by the original author are added, which undoubtedly added more value to that installment when we played it.
Gameplay
As for the gameplay, which is the most important thing when playing an adaptation of this type. Although probably many players are not used to it, the RPG style they gave to the game is certainly quite entertaining to learn to play and requires a bit of skill to evade some attacks, but overall I think it is a suitable method for a game like this. Another important point in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicles are the dungeons that will be the place where we can explore to find materials that will undoubtedly serve us to use them later.
In That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicles we can also develop our own village to our liking, which will help us to increase some statistics that will undoubtedly be very relevant to decide the course of the battle, so we must not neglect this aspect. But how will we build our village? Easy: while we explore and fight in the different dungeons we will be able to obtain the necessary materials to make it grow and construct buildings, so we will be molding Jura Tempest to our liking.
Graphics and soundtrack
Something that would be falling short in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicles is the graphics. And although it is an RPG style video game, one would expect to see great attack animations or at least the special attack scenes would be well polished, but this was not the case, probably because the Switch version is somewhat limited in this. Another thing that also disappointed us was that not all characters have a special attack scene and only show a static image and the moment when they are already attacking, not the full animation, at least in our opinion we would have loved to see this.
As for the soundtrack, even if it is an anime game and especially one of this type, a person who is a lover of the genre would look for the music to be according to the scenes shown. Whether it is to give more emotion to a fight, feelings to a sad scene or simply that the scenery does not feel empty, which they achieve in a good way. The atmosphere created in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicles for each type of scene is the right one that you will even enjoy even more to be interacting and fighting in every moment.
Conclusion
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicles is a game that delivers a fantasy adventure that any player would love to live, but it is probably more suitable for people who have already seen the anime and light novel, than for a casual player who knows nothing of the story. And it is that this title just lacks that attractive point to attract new players that other titles do offer, certainly, it is a good game for a story of this type that fans will appreciate a lot, but it did not come to revolutionize the genre or break sales records, although it would certainly be worth trying.
In particular if we enjoy knowing a little more of the history of Rimuru and relive the great moments that took place in the anime and would certainly replay certain moments of the title that we liked a lot, but with the original story and the DLC we will have much more to enjoy in this installment. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicles is now available for Nintendo Switch, PC, Xbox S/X series, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 at a price of $42 USD in its basic version and in the deluxe version at $59 USD, if you are a fan of the anime for sure you would not regret it.
