NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Mix equal parts of science, sorcery, and mechs and one comes up with a cauldron full of something similar to Demon Bane. The game is a set in a contemporary civilization but magic threads throughout the world along with technological wonders such as huge robots which fight for their respective masters. Based on our quick test drive this morning, the cast of characters is extensive and the storyline revolves around a secretive faction who uses magic to unleash a destructive force which ripples throughout a town and destroys a good chunk of it. To combat this underground cabal, a team is assembled which uses a powerful mech as their ace in the hole. Although the mechs on both sides do most of the fighting in the game, the cast of characters also wield magic for offensive and defensive use. The mech designs in Demon Bane draw inspiration from Gundam, Mazinger Z and perhaps even the Armored Core mechs. They're all overly complicated monstrosities with gleaming eyes, bulging mechanical bodies and parts are everywhere. The human cast in the game is more pleasing to look at and is reminiscent of the Metal Wolf or Psychic Force 2012 character designs. Every copy of the first production of Demon Bane includes an OVA which details the world of Demon Bane and gives viewers some sense of the background story in the game and the large cast of characters. The animation quality is very well done with above par production values. There's also imagery and themes in the OVA which appears to have been inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's works.
