TapTap Game of the Year 2023 #5: Sea of Stars - an old-school RPG with a modern twist

Sea of Stars is a game that wears its influences on its sleeve. The battle system blends the timed hit system of Super Mario RPG with the team tech attacks from Chrono Trigger. Some boss sprites and attacks look like they came straight out of Final Fantasy. The entire game is littered with references to Super Nintendo classics, like Secret of Evermore and Breath of Fire. But even though Sea of Stars pays homage to RPGs of the past, it still manages to feel fresh and new.

Watch out, Final Fantasy! Granblue Fantasy is officially the hottest new JRPG franchise on the block

SHOULD I PLAY GRANBLUE FANTASY: RELINK? Absolutely check out Granblue Fantasy: Relink if you even remotely enjoy Japanese-style RPGs or just games with great action RPG combat systems. As a spin-off of the Granblue Fantasy mobile game that’s been running for almost a decade now, getting thrown right into the middle of this story might feel a little confusing at first. But developer Cygames uses this history to its advantage, presenting a world that feels complex and interesting to explore. Plus it’s populated by massive, godlike monsters in need of being hacked and slashed to death. Bonus!

FMV games are the perfect way to solve a good mystery

I’ve always had a special place in my heart for mysteries. There’s a puzzle-solving element to a good whodunit that makes it feel like a game, even when I’m actually reading a book or watching a movie. The best mysteries are a challenge between me and the detective, and they’re a blast to experience, even if I’m the one that loses. Lately, I’ve been keeping myself busy with The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story

Mickey Mouse plus Metroidvania? It’s better than you’d think - Disney Ilusion Island Quick Review

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it. Disney Illusion Island is a charming, cartoony platformer starring iconic characters like Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. This enchanting Metroidvania only falls slightly short due to its lack of difficulty and lightly repetitive gameplay. Regardless of those issues, it’s one of my favorite games to play with friends right now and one of the best platformer titles I’ve encountered this year.

Ever wish that Disco Elysium had more minotaurs and more steampunk? Check out Sovereign Syndicate

In 2019, Disco Elysium took the gaming world by storm and showed how RPGs could focus much more on storytelling and do a much better job of emulating the feeling of playing at a tabletop. Now we're just starting to see the first wave of games that seem clearly inspired by Disco Elysium, and this one just might be the first must-play RPG of 2024. This is Sovereign Syndicate, a CRPG being made by a small indie team in Canada. Like Disco Elysium, it's an RPG that's more heavily focused on narrative and dialogue, but it also sets itself apart in some key ways. For one, it's got a unique Victorian steampunk setting that looks absolutely fantastic. Fantasy creatures like minotaurs, dwarves, and cyclopes are mixed together with grimy factories, smokestacks, and zeppelins. And it all takes place in London!

This action-RPG/dating sim captures the feel of Persona, and you can try it for yourself now

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Absolutely play the demo if you have any love for the Persona franchise, JRPGs in general, or dating and social sims that have some combat on the side. Eternights is an upcoming mix of action-RPG and dating sim set in a grim future where most of humanity has been suddenly turned into horrifying monsters. It borrows heavily from the Persona series in style, presentation, and themes, but it also manages to be more than just a clone thanks to sharp writing and a fun combat system.

Turnip Boy returns to break the law again in this adorable roguelite action game

Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion was a surprise sensation when it launched in 2021. Who knew that it could be so much fun playing as a cute little vegetable guy who just loves committing federal felony? The Zelda-style adventure gameplay didn't hurt matters either. Well, a few years have passed, but it seems our heart-healthy hero still has a taste for being a bad guy. His latest adventure is titled

I think I can safely say one of the best afk idle games I have ever played

Pros Graphics top notch Gatha rates pretty decent Finally an idle game with meaningful story Huge map to play with many different battlegrounds Auto is optional to get you onto quests but you might miss some chests/gold/dust Battle mechanics There is some pvp in an unusual form it's called honor duel You can create your own character Every class need different weapons but the good thing is that you don't equip any on you characters but on the classes

The Legend of Zelda meets tower defense in the delightful Dwerve - Pocket Playfest

Everyone knows Link is the legendary Hero of Time, and everyone knows that a hero of his stature needs a badass weapon. Thus, the Master Sword. But what if our favorite hero didn’t have a Master Sword? In fact, what if he couldn’t really use weapons at all. The delightful and charming Dwerve answers that question, and it turns out the answer is a lot of challenging fun inspired by great tower defense games just as much as it is by classics like

Lisa: the Painful is the weirdest, most heart wrenching RPG you’ll ever play

Lisa: the Painful is an unrelenting expression of the world’s unfairness. It stacks all the odds against you from the very start, and no matter what you do, things won’t always go right. Minor bosses can destroy your team with insta-death moves, permanently killing party members. Resting at a campsite heals your party and removes negative status effects, but it also leaves you vulnerable to kidnapping attempts or poisonous bug bites. It’s a game where you can lose everything in an instant through no fault of your own.

Paper Mario meets Cartoon Network in this quirky, bread-based RPG

SHOULD I PLAY BORN OF BREAD? Born of Bread feels like an unofficial successor to the Paper Mario series, so if you’re a fan of those games, you’ll definitely want to check it out. There were times when I thought Born of Bread could’ve used a little more time in the oven, but I was still won over by its playful dialogue and loveable cast of characters. If you dig games with a wacky, silly sense of humor, this is going to charm you too.

This anime fighting game-inspired roguelite deserves your attention

SHOULD I PLAY BLAZBLUE ENTROPY EFFECT? Definitely give this one a shot if you’re a fan of great roguelites or the action-packed anime aesthetic of the BlazBlue series. This spin-off, BlazBlue Entropy Effect, sees familiar characters, move sets, and thumb-crushing combos of the BlazBlue fighting games translated into a roguelite action game formula. That makes for a challenging experience, but thanks to a tightly designed progression system and an intriguing story, I found it hard to put this game down.

Ubisoft resurrects Prince of Persia in a fantastic new Metroidvania form

SHOULD I PLAY PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE LOST CROWN? Yes! As a long-time fan of the Prince of Persia franchise, I was excited to see it coming back, but even gamers who are totally unfamiliar with previous games should be able to find plenty to love in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. This reboot puts players into the role of Sargon, a warrior of Persia who must venture into the dangerous region of Mount Qaf after the prince is kidnapped. In gameplay terms, that means exploring a fascinating region in the form of a tightly designed 2D Metroidvania-style adventure.

What’s next after killing a god? Try pulling off the biggest bank heist ever in this great roguelite

SHOULD I PLAY TURNIP BOY ROBS A BANK? Yes! Especially if you played and enjoyed 2020’s excellent Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion. That game ended with our titular hero defeating an evil god—at least if you got the real ending—and now the rogue veggie is back and looking to break more laws. This follow-up trades in the Zelda-style gameplay of the first game for a roguelite blend of shooting and exploring that feels sort of like a simpler take on
What’s next after killing a god? Try pulling off the biggest bank heist ever in this great roguelite
Note: These are my thoughts on this game, do not treat it as fact if you play the game. Likes: The story although convoluted, is impactful around all of the unnecessary text. 2. The combat isn't in depth, which would be strange for a tower defense game. 3. Although it's not in-depth, hoh boy, this game can be DIFFICULT. 4. It's a strategy game for the most part, which is very stimulating for those looking for a mental challenge, such as myself. 5. The characters look great! That's without them being sexualized like so many characters, male and female. 6. The music is superb! I love the default lobby music, it's just so relaxing. 7. A massive variety of characters with different skills and attack patterns, etc, make the game fun despite it being a tower defense game. 8. The game itself looks great! 9. The base function means that f2p players are not screwed, but it may take a while to progress. 10. The proxy annihilation cards make Orundum farming so much quicker! 12. It doesn't seem like that it places massive reliance on stats, I mean I generally can do levels below the recommended operator level. 13. The difficulty is something I seek, because of the feeling of accomplishing a challenge that I thought wasn't possible. 14. The challenge mode addition means that you can play through the game again upon completion but it will be even more difficult in the long run. Dislikes: No multi-farm mechanic. 2. Auto deploy is not always consistent. 3. You can only double the combat speed, which is the default speed in auto deploy, would like it if it could be faster. 4. No way as far as I have been able to see in which you can change your name more than once without spending money. Now, a few important notes/tips: This is a tower defense game, so if that's not your thing, you probably won't enjoy this. 2. The gameplay can indeed be grueling, so if you're easily discouraged, I encourage you to not give up. 3. Resources are rather scarce, especially the only currency which can buy skins, (originate prime) so use sparingly. 4. Five things you will have to learn: Order of deployment, location of deployment, timing of deployment and skills being activated, and team synergy (these five things are often necessary together). 5. Do not convert "originite prime" to "Orundum" or buy furniture with "originite prime" if you care about buying skins for operators. Finally, the story is dark, so it's not for the faint of heart. Also, I am in episode 2, as of the time I posted this review, so I haven't made it very far, and thus, I may update this as time goes on.
