## About SCARLET NEXUS

Scarlet Nexus is a 2021 action RPG set in a Brain Punk future where technology intersects with psychic abilities. Players choose between two elite psionics, each navigating their own campaign route that reveals different truths about the world. The challenging combat emphasizes just-dodge timing and synergistic psychic powers that combine with teammates' abilities. A bond system unlocks character stories and additional capabilities as relationships deepen. Players describe the experience as atmospheric, contemplative, epic, and mysterious, with reviewers highlighting how the soundtrack enhances immersion and the mystery-driven storytelling keeps the narrative unpredictable. The game offers substantial length with streamlined side quests, and runs verified on Steam Deck. Current pricing sits at $14.39 USD, supported by a 78 Metacritic score and an 86% positive rating from over 5,200 Steam reviews.
