A new RPG from the creators of This War of Mine takes to the magical streets of 20th century Poland

Role-playing video games have taken us on adventures to all sorts of strange locales: grand fantasy landscapes, epic sci-fi universes, sweeping vistas occupied by gods, and otherworldly realms haunted by the dead. However, we've never been swept off to a setting quite like that of The Thaumaturge. That's because this RPG takes place in Warsaw, Poland in the early 20th century—albeit a slightly fantastical version of Warsaw.

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.

WWE meets RPG in a colorful toy box adventure - WrestleQuest Quick Review

SHOULD I PLAY WRESTLEQUEST? Definitely play it if you’re at all a fan of wrestling games and old-school, turn-based RPGs. WrestleQuest may be a wrestling game, but it plays more like Super Mario RPG than AEW: Fight Forever. I played as (and fought against) action figures inspired by legendary wrestlers—and even ran into some characters officially licensed from wrestlers like “Macho Man” Randy Savage, who’s basically this world’s god. Wrestling plus RPG may seem like a strange mix, but it works beautifully, coming together as a love letter to both the drama of the squared circle and the imagination and adventure of SNES-era role-playing games.

S-rank Style I've Been Waiting for You SS-rank Style Destiny of Mortals SS-rank Style Absolute Being SS-rank Style Such a Monotonous Job SS-Rank Style Creator's Pumpkins! SS-rank Style Do You Intend to Keep Going? Sadly, those are the only styles available at the moment. They don't have a single skin either. Creator was first available pretty late in the game (His first appearance was during the 1st anniversary of Romancing SaGa Re;univerSe)

Umbrella + gun = the recipe for a near-perfect side-scrolling action game

SHOULD I PLAY GUNBRELLA? Play it. Instead of reinventing the wheel with flashy features or next-gen visuals, Gunbrella perfects the standard elements of a side-scrolling action-adventure game. The result is a wildly entertaining journey of platforming, exploration, and monster-slaying. TIME PLAYED I played Gunbrella for four hours, traversing four of the game’s five areas. I’ve already defeated two bosses in the game and completed nearly a dozen main quests. I’m currently trying to make my way to the last area in the game.

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.

Calling all Undertale fans! Atlas Wept is a quirky pixel art RPG about empathy and robot dogs

SHOULD I PLAY ATLAS WEPT? If you’re a fan of EarthBound, Undertale, and other quirky turn-based RPGs, this is definitely a title you should take a look at. Atlas Wept is a pixelated RPG with strong retro vibes. The story alternates between two distinct casts of characters as they embark on a strange adventure. The groups haven’t crossed paths quite yet in my playthrough, but I suspect they’ll run into each other eventually. There’s a free demo available on Steam, so if this game has sparked your curiosity, you should definitely give it a try.

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.

Game of Thrones on your phone? Court intrigue game Yes, Your Grace is now on mobile

SHOULD I PLAY YES, YOUR GRACE? Check it out if you like choice-based games and court intrigue. Yes, Your Grace is a kingdom management RPG where you respond to requests from your loyal—and not-so-loyal—subjects. There aren’t enough resources to give everyone what they need, and that means making some tough decisions. If you’re a fan of Reigns or similar titles, you should definitely give this a try.

A Gacha Couldn't be Better than This...

Theoretically, the game gives you a confirmed character at 180 pity yet I recieved 6 legendaries at 130, it's due to the high base rate that allows increased chance to obtain a legendary at each pull which is 4.62% respectively (I've discussed about this matter in detail in my review/article about Sword Of Convallaria) with that said, they are giving away free compensatory pulls, should any player be interested to begin their voyage, they are suggested to join right now! As the moment is rather fleeting.

Brown Dust 2 is a gacha love letter to classic JRPGs

I'm totally unfamiliar with the original Brown Dust, but Brown Dust 2 has almost immediately and completely won me over as my favorite gacha game I've played since last year's Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent. Like that game, Brown Dust 2 uses absolutely gorgeous hi-res pixel art and storytelling that feels like it comes from the Super Nintendo era of classic Japanese role-playing games.

A beautifully illustrated RPG about the grim realities of life during war? Sign us up!

One of the great things about video games is that they can cover so much territory. Take RPGs for example. You've got high fantasy escapism in series like Final Fantasy, epic sci-fi dreams of the future in stuff like Mass Effect, and strange musings on philosophy and politics in a game like Disco Elysium. Long Gone Days doesn't quite fit into any of those categories, though it's closest to the last one. This ambitious RPG follows a young man named Rourke who's been trained from birth to be a living weapon of war. Once Rourke is actually sent into battle, though, he finds himself conflicted as he comes face-to-face with disturbing realities of wartime.

Cyberpunk 2077 meets Sekiro in this action-packed 2D platformer

SHOULD I PLAY NINE SOLS? Play it. In its current demo version, Nine Sols offers less than an hour of great storytelling and fun hack-and-slash gameplay, but it’s totally worth the experience. While a few balancing issues need to be addressed before the full release, Nine Sols has become one of my most anticipated games for next year. TIME PLAYED I played Nine Sols for forty minutes, which was enough time to complete the entire demo, including one boss fight. The demo took me through most of the first chapter of the story, and I’m eager to see how the plot opens up from here when the full game comes out.

A better-than-average gacha that could use more content

Grand Quest just entered open beta, and as someone who's always searching for my next go-to gacha game, I had to give it a shot. So far, I'm definitely pretty impressed, though it has some work to go. Perhaps the biggest surprise in Grand Quest, especially when compared to other gacha games, is that the story is pretty entertaining and well-translated. Much of it is told through stylish comic book-panel cutscenes, and I was shocked to find myself actually enjoying getting to know these characters.

CRYPTMASTER - A UNIQUE BLEND OF WORDLE-STORY DUNGEON CRAWLING

Whether you enjoy testing yourself with WPM gameplay or prefer a unique and well-crafted experience that will have you clutching your sides with laughter and fascinating characters and story. CryptMaster is a game you should not miss out on. There is so much here that is both distinct and borrowed from other games. It's not often that you see the genre of typing combined with dungeon crawling, exploration, and combat. It all works so well which is very surprising with the fantastic visual expressions, and you also have a huge list of phrases and dialog that you can use to converse with the narrator at any point, you'd be astonished how many lines of dialogue they managed to pack into this experience which was all hand crafted. Many assume that it was created using AI, but in actuality, the developers sat down and attempted to think up every possible conversation you might type and simply added in a response or secret interaction. I definitely see how the visuals seem robotic, but all in all it's a uniquely human created experience.

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.

Sleeping Dogs. If there ever was a crime-sandbox that could stand up to GTA, Sleeping Dogs would be it. A truly underrated classic that every gamer should give an honest chance to. Everything from the graphics, sound-design, setting, story, characters, combat, driving, side-activities, and fun factor, are all on point. I can't think of any other way to improve it. I've been gaming for about 15 years and Sleeping Dogs is one of my all time favourites. The world feels alive and lived in, the characters have flaws and feel real, the voice acting is compelling, the music is great and the radio has some underrated artists. The best part is the combat, which relies on melee more than gunfights, and has a meaningful sense of progression, it never gets old.

This creepy platformer just might give you nightmares

SHOULD I PLAY UGLY? Give Ugly a go if you’re into platformers, puzzlers, or dark fairy-tale worlds. Even though controlling two characters simultaneously in a mirrored world can be incredibly disorienting, Ugly’s puzzle mechanics are truly unique and blend perfectly with the game’s dark atmosphere. And though I wouldn't classify Ugly as horror, there were still plenty of twisted memories to unlock that genuinely gave me the creeps.
