At Gamescom Latam,Gixer Entertainment announcedChanger Seven, a Brazilian hack-and-slash take on Super Sentai. It’s currently planned for release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in 2025.
Changer Sevenis aDevil May Cry-stylehack-and-slash, which I think is what they call “character action” games. It centers around the eponymous seven Sentai heroes as they defend Brazil from a series of villain-of-the-week monsters. Beneath that is a larger plot, and the heroes also need to balance their interpersonal relationships.
I’m not sure if the interpersonal relationships are a part of the gameplay or just the narrative. There’s maybe some love triangle looking stuff going on there, but I was reading a romance novel last night, so I might just be projecting. Maybe they’re just good friends.
The combat hook here is a tag-team system. It’s a single-player game, and you can pick your changer, but you also summon other changers to get in some licks. I think it looks pretty good. There’s stun-locking and air juggling. I’ve played a few similar games recently that have felt likeall particle effectsandno impact, and the trailer suggestsChanger Sevendoesn’t have the problem. That can be difficult to really tell exclusively from video, however.
I also want to point out that we’ve only seen four changes: yellow, red, blue, and pink. The tease. Maybe they’ll throw a curveball and the rest of the colors will be khaki, beige, and tan.
Changer Sevenis slated to launch on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC sometime in 2025.
