The debut title from SenseGames, AI Limit, is a soulslike adventure set in a post-apocalyptic future where the protagonist, a Blader named Arrisa, explores the world, battles enemies, and searches for signs of life. The game delves into ethical questions surrounding artificial intelligence and its impact on humanity, reflecting modern debates on technology.
In an interview with Game Rant, producer Yang Bin shared insights into the game’s creative direction, specifically highlighting the decision to use a cel-shaded visual style. Despite its clear soulslike influences, AI Limit introduces innovative mechanics, such as the “Sync Rate” system instead of the traditional stamina bar, making combat more dynamic and rewarding precision.
The post-apocalyptic world of AI Limit comes to life through cel-shading, creating striking visuals. Bin explained that this choice was partly inspired by the manga BLAME! but also motivated by practical reasons—this art style is popular among younger audiences and was also a cost-effective solution for the studio’s first project with a limited budget.
While BLAME! played a key role in shaping the game’s aesthetic, Bin also noted influences from other iconic titles such as Mad Max, Borderlands, BioShock, Fallout, and Metro Exodus. The fusion of these elements helps AI Limit establish a unique identity, blending soulslike combat with deep narrative themes and a visually striking world.
Instead of a traditional stamina system, AI Limit introduces the “Sync Rate” mechanic—the more you attack without taking damage, the stronger you become. This encourages players to closely observe enemy movements, reflecting the development team’s preference for tactically demanding combat systems. While clearly a soulslike game, AI Limit’s innovations ensure it is not just another copy of existing formulas.
As Bin concludes, every game carries the imprint of its creators’ experiences. In the case of AI Limit, this results in a dark cyberpunk atmosphere, intense combat, and a narrative that questions technology’s role in society. This blend of elements is expected to attract both hardcore action game fans and those who value storytelling and strong visual identity.
