Here's an overview of the game provided CE-Asia:
AI LIMIT is set in the distant future, long after the fall of civilization. The world is now infested with a mysterious substance known as the Mud, with monsters roaming the land and survivors struggling to endure. The player takes on the role of Arrisa, a powerful entity called Blader, equipped with incredible regeneration ability. In her quest, she will explore the ruins of ancient cities teeming with enemies, aiming to unveil the truth behind the apocalypse and sow the seeds of hope for a new world.
Facing a myriad of mighty foes and vicious monsters, Arrisa went through countless deaths and rebirths. She is good at finding opportunities in the onslaught and gives it her all to turn the tide. After a near-impossible battle, she will continue her journey on the wasteland as if it were just another day.
Arrisa wields a wide variety of weapons, allowing her to execute flashy combos by utilizing each weapon’s unique moves and sets, aiming to seize the initiative in battle.
Moreover, the weapon skills system gives Arrisa more attack choices. Her left-hand mechanism can use dozens of spells to enrich her fighting style.
In addition to its intense fighting and action elements, the world of AI LIMIT offers a rich environment to explore. Bizarre and magnificent city ruins hide various weapons and clothes, guarded either by powerful monsters or tucked away in deep alleys. These items not only boast incredible power but also enhance Arrisa’s unique appearance.
The history of Havenswell is also worth discovering. Using Blader’s ability, Arrisa can extract information from old-world artifacts scattered throughout the city. Players can uncover a lot of knowledge while exploring.

Until now I didn't know this game exist. I find the game's premise and style to be similar to Nier Automata and Code Vein. I really digging the style of the game with organic yet mechanical designs of the world and enemies.
Arrisa having the ability to wield different weapons and costume reminds of Lightning Returns' gameplay. And that was a battle system that I enjoyed a lot from the Final Fantasy XII series besides the Paradigm and Stagger features.
Thanks to her mechanical left arm, Arrisa also has the power to cast magic too. These elements will make AI LIMIT's battle system highly customizable and fashionable. But versatility Arrisa's potential arsenal and abilities is what will keep the game's combat fresh and varied.
Also, it is good to know that AI Limit's will have explorable yet rich environments. Plus, having weapons and clothes hidden in deep alleys and guarded by monsters will make for deep exploration. And battles will be exciting and tantalizing. Everything I want in a RPG especially an action one.
The premise of the story is very similar to the likes of Nier Automata and other games inspired by it. But I am all for it. Nier Automata is one of my favorite games of all time. And Automata is an excellent game to take inspiration from.
Where AI Limit's premise and potential story differs, however, is Arrisa's mission to discover the truth of world's ruin while sowing seeds of hope. This makes me think that AI Limit's story will be about survival and hope. And it will have an element of mystery.
Also, I am intrigued by this "Branch." The Branch can revive Arrisa, but it cannot instill hope. Makes me wonder what the origin of this "Branch" entails. Importantly, how does it affect Arrisa and the world?
I relishing from what I am seeing from AI Limit so far. And I hope they will reveal more about the game before its release. Of course, I rather not know anything big about the story. 2024 is shaping up to be another stealthily, strong year for gaming.
