Evaluation

Anima Flux launched on October 7, 2024 as a fully finished co-op metroidvania. The release day post framed the game as a complete experience, thanking the community for their support "during the development process" — language that signals a concluded development journey rather than an ongoing one. After launch, the developer issued a quick bug-fix hotfix on October 9, 2024, and later confirmed Steam Deck compatibility on February 18, 2025. Both of these are maintenance and platform-support activities, not new content additions. The only DLC released are a Digital Artbook (June 26, 2025) and a Soundtrack — both supplemental extras that do not add gameplay content. There are no unreleased DLC entries on the store, no roadmap, no announcements of future gameplay content, and no developer statements indicating further updates are planned. Across 50 news posts, the vast majority are sales, events, and community activities, with no signals of ongoing content development. The game launched as a complete, finished product, and all post-launch activity has been limited to bug fixes, platform certification, and optional digital extras.

About this game

Anima Flux is a co-op metroidvania with two genetically enhanced soldiers, special agents of a theocratic dictatorial regime. Fight your way through swarms of mutants through a desolate, dystopian space city and save humanity's last stronghold, if, of course, anyone is still alive...

The only human city located on the space ark is subjected to an organized mutant invasion. For the sake of survival, a theocratic totalitarian regime sends its best troops to rescue the city and eliminate the threat.

Take control of two elite soldiers, combine their unique abilities and skills. Finesse your way around through the most ferocious foes. Act bravely and fearlessly. After all, you can trick death, by transferring your anima with the latest implant technology. Don’t get consumed by fear of death, because the truth is grimmer.

  • Co-Op Metroidvania

    The unusual spin of the genre, turns the classic metroidvania into a fun, couch co-op adventure. Both characters develop differently as the game goes on. Explore the grim locations of the space ark, rescue an ambushed or seriously injured partner. Get challenged by dangerous mutants and build your own boss-fight strategies together with a friend. And the best part is that you can always switch to single player mode if your pal is not around.


  • A mind-blowing dystopia

    The story is set in a highly detailed game world, told in stunning hand-drawn animated cutscenes, and elaborated in dialogs full of irony. Tragic and intriguing fates of the supporting characters will immerse you into the human world of the far future, where moral and ethical issues trouble the mind more than ever. Search for the truth and prepare for incredible twists and turns.


  • Unique visual style

    Through the artistic lens of 80-90 retro sci-fi aesthetics, the game carefully renders a variety of futuristic 2D visuals mixed with the dark cosmic atmosphere.
