Scarlet Nexus 2

Scarlet Nexus 2 is the sequel to the PS4 hack 'n slash/RPG Scarlet Nexus. 
Unlike said game, this game takes the Mother 3 approach to protagonists, having only one story with different main characters per chapter, all of which only speak through unvoiced dialogue options during their chapter but are non-silent in someone else's story (aside from the final hero who is always silent, and also named by the player and gender-selectable).
== Gameplay ==
The game is similar to its predecessor in that it's a hack n'slash/RPG hybrid focused on combining quick attack combos with long-range psionic attacks which consume a Psionic bar which regenerates over time. 
The SAS system does not return in this game, but the player-named protagonist of the final chapter has a psionic ability called Brain Eater which works similar to it. Instead, in order to use different abilities, you have the ability to switch party members on the fly and controlling the other characters. Only player-controlled characters can take damage, while non-player-controlled ones do not. 
Bonding events no longer exist. There are support conversations, however, which happen between a chapter protagonist and another party member and have their outcome influenced by the player's dialogue options. 
Phases (AKA chapters) are much longer but fewer in number, with Phase 5 being half of the game.
== Characters ==
Protagonist (true name: Karen Travers): Protagonist of Phase 5 and final. You can name them and choose their gender, but their design is fixed because they're supposed to be an alternate universe counterpart of Karen Travers. Their power is Brain Eater, allowing them to copy other people's abilities. 
== Trivia ==
* The protagonist is gender-selectable and silent, but they're an alternate version of a character from Scarlet Nexus 1 who was always male and spoke in cutscenes.
