Moonlight Blade might scratch your mobile MMO itch

SHOULD I PLAY MOONLIGHT BLADE? Eh, you could do worse, but you could also probably do better. If you’re desperate for a power-grind, free-to-play MMO to play on your phone, Moonlight Blade is a totally solid if unimpressive option. With a setting in historical China and a focus that expands beyond just combat, this is much better than other recent mobile MMOs, but it’s not likely to keep you engaged long-term unless your phone is your only gaming platform.

Best time to start playing Romancing SaGa Re;univerSe is NOW!!

I've said this before, but Romancing SaGa Re;univerSe is one hell of a generous game! Right now, the game is celebrating its 3rd anniversary starting today, June 1st, and they're giving out rewards like there's no tomorrow! Just from the log in bonus, whey're giving us an INSANE amount of gacha currency and gacha tickets this month! Unfortunately, I pressed on the "ok" button a bit too fast and I couldn't take a screenshot of the tickets, but I promise I'll do so tomorrow and add it here.

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.

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.

WHY CAN'T OTHER BIG DEVELOPERS UNDERSTAND THIS?

I'd heard of the series, as well as other well-known JRPG games, but I never bothered to look into it because I wasn't very interested in playing non-PC games at the time. It's direct and to the point, doesn't hold back monetarily, and comes from a well-known developer for a Gacha which for some people may come as a red flag, but hold on. It hits every note, even nostalgia for past games I haven't played in over a decade that being

The new Sword Art Online game captures what’s great about this series - but it looks terrible

SHOULD I PLAY SWORD ART ONLINE LAST RECOLLECTION? Play it, especially if you’re a fan of the Sword Art Online anime/manga/light novel series. Sword Art Online: Last Recollection is an action RPG set during the third season of the anime. It’s a great representation of the series, but it suffers in a few ways mostly tied to its presentation: ugly visuals, poor animation, and delayed actions. I’d still recommend it to fans of the series, though, who’ll find plenty to enjoy here.

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.

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.

Currently 2 and a half hours in, and the game is epic. Huge upgrade in graphics in just 2 years. Sound, voicelines and music are great, and the story gets even better than the previous CoD. Special Ops mode is pretty good too. You have lots of challenging missions to complete. Overall, an amazing timeless classic.

This steampunk spin on Disco Elysium is a slow burn, but full of great characters

SHOULD I PLAY SOVEREIGN SYNDICATE? This is an RPG that’s all about character and setting, so skip this one if you’re mainly interested in combat and stats. While the characters in Sovereign Syndicate have various attributes that I was able to influence, there’s nary a battle to be found—instead, expect an experience closer to Disco Elysium—if Disco Elysium was set in an alternate version of Victorian London in which minotaurs, cyclopes, and werewolves shared the rough streets and opium dens of the East End with humans. That means this is a game where conversations and skill checks are how each characters’ mettle is tested.

TapTap Game of the Year 2023 #6: Final Fantasy XVI - the next step for gaming’s greatest series

I realize that headline might be a little provocative. Gaming’s greatest series? Really? Well, yes. For my money, at least, no single franchise has had a larger impact on my personal life in video games than Final Fantasy. The original game introduced me to Japanese RPGs. Final Fantasy VI taught me how much a video game story could affect me. Final Fantasy XIV is probably the best MMORPG ever made.

A cyberpunk mystery with Danganronpa vibes - Master Detective Archives: Rain Code Quick Review

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it, especially if you’re a fan of Danganronpa or the Ace Attorney games. Master Detective Archives: Rain Code is a near-perfect combination of old-school mystery solving and fantasy storytelling. You play as Yuma Kokohead, a detective who’s lost his memory after striking a deal with a mischievous spirit named Shinigami. Thanks to his spirit pact, Yuma can transform unsolved mysteries into labyrinths that will guide him towards the truth of any case. This unique approach to mystery-solving makes every investigation feel fresh and dynamic. Whether I was solving puzzles, talking to witnesses, or searching for clues, I felt invested in each case I tried to crack. A lot of games have tried to imitate

The thrilling conclusion of an amazing JRPG story - Trails into Reverie Quick Review

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re a big Legend of Heroes fan, but newcomers to the series are better off starting elsewhere. The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie is a sprawling epic that serves as a conclusion to both the Cold Steel and Crossbell story arcs. It doesn’t waste much time on recaps or exposition, so if you’re not familiar with previous games, you’ll probably feel pretty lost. If you’re curious about the game, but don’t want to jump in at the end of the story,

Insomniac hacks reveal Marvel's Spider-Man 3, an X-Men game, multiplayer projects, and even more

Sony-owned developer Insomniac Games has had a pretty good year, what with the release of the much-loved Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and increasing hype for the previously announced Marvel's Wolverine (image from the trailer above). 2023 is ending on a bit of a frustrating note for Insomniac, though, albeit one that will just make gamers more hype: A massive leak has revealed no less than six upcoming games from the studio, several of which are unannounced.

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!

Only absolute evilness can help you conquer the world in this real-time strategy game

SHOULD I PLAY DUNGEONS 4? Play it, especially if you love real-time strategy games. Dungeons 4 offers an insanely fun real-time strategy experience that covers the basics that fans like myself have grown to love from games like Age of Empires 2 and Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne. Its campaign introduces a fresh perspective into the standard formula by making the player the villain instead of the classic hero. This game is all about being absolutely evil, and I loved every second of that wickedness. While ruling over demons and undead monsters does take some time and attention,
