Realm Souls V

Realm Souls V (レルムソウルズV) is an action role-playing game developed and published by Multisoft for the Nintendo Switch. It is the seventh installment in the Realm Souls series and serves as a conclusion of the "Anti-Lords saga" beginning with the original game. Set after the events of Realm Souls IV: Reawakening, the Magic Weapon wielders join forces in order to flush out the rest of the League and stop them from summoning Realm Souls yet again. Their journey has them cross paths with characters and visit worlds based on different video game franchises.

Gameplay
Gameplay in Realm Souls V is similar to its predecessors, with hack and slash combat that would be along the lines of the system seen in Realm Souls III, with an evolution similar to what was seen from Realm Souls to Realm Souls III, and closely tied to the gameplay in Realm Souls IV.

This time around, the player selects one of three teams of Magic Weapon wielders and progress through their story. Team Fortune consists of Len, Rook, and Sue. Team Kujia features Lumina, Nova, and Nekrad. Team Crescent's members are Kozor, Mike, and Jeri. Team Fortune's members still have their original teammates joining them on their adventure. After completing all three teams, the final chapter will be unlocked, which features everyone playable.

Soul Forms, a mechanic that allows Rook, Sue, or Len to change their abilities or the form of their Magic Weapons. Everyone's Magic Weapons can transform into powerful versions of themselves. Each Magic Weapon have at least three transformations, with the third activating after executing enough combos, similar to Skill Styles or Responder Actions. After activating a Magic Weapon transformation, said transformation will be saved when switching out. To enter a Soul Form, the player must use a Magic Weapon transformation by using the Responder Action, although Next Form, Blast Form, and Mech Form are labeled exactly by their names.

Characters join the player's team as temporary party members in respective worlds. Now the limit of party members has been expanded from 5 to 7, so permanent teammates like Mario or Aigis no longer need to be replaced. The AI has been improved, so allies can invite the player into special techniques (similar to the Special attacks from Realm Souls III). However, enemies are also able to work together. Some enemies also have "armor" where their HP bar becomes yellow and they can use powerful attacks until enough damage can be dealt to end it.

Plot
At the end of Realm Souls IV: Awakening, Zonulos has been completely resurrected, revealing his true Followers: himself, Akako, Mace, Karlos, Suri, Tarot, and Zisolu. After losing his control of Nekrad's soul, Zonulos aimed to summon Realm Souls once again in order to enter the Twin Utopia (revealed by Camiel and Fuyumi to be Naoki's and Hyoma's homeworld) and forge the Ω-Gear out of some of the inhabitants. Meanwhile, all of the Magic Weapon wielders have been gathered to prevent this incoming crisis. After hearing that Zonulos has sent multiple Anti-Souls and Voids into many of the worlds, the heroes have agreed to stop all of them before their goal can be achieved. Meanwhile, Master Hand and Crazy Hand seek to reform the Finale Club after the death of Jenna Angel and the betrayal of Bowser and Saya.
