Donnod’s new action RPG “Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden” was released on the 13th. Soon after its release it received favorable reviews on Steam, recording “very positive” opinions.

The Banisher: Ghost of New Eden is set in New Eden in 1695 and tells the story of lovers and ghost hunters Anthea Duarte and Red Macwraith. After Antea turns into a ghost during the final mission, her fate and that of the settlers of New Eden will be determined in the process of solving the residents’ problems.

The player controls Antea and Red at the same time. Red handles physical attacks like swords and guns, while Antea, a ghost, uses spiritual power. In the process, you can equip new equipment, unlock skills, and strengthen your combat power. In addition to the battle, the key is to reveal the story of the moral dilemma of whether to save the dead Anthea by sacrificing others or ascend her soul.

Steam user rating of Banisher: Ghost of New Eden is “very positive” (203 participants, 89% positive), and while the number of reviews is quite small, the reviews are good. There are many comments praising the dilemma-focused narrative, and some even mention that it is similar to Vampir, which placed importance on interacting with NPCs in Donnod’s previous works. Furthermore, there are no issues related to optimization, so overall it is said to be satisfactory. However, it was emphasized that the battle did not feature a variety of enemy patterns and was rather ordinary.
