Is this the next Nier: Automata?

When Nier: Automata released in 2017, it proved that stories about cold, "emotionless" robots could actually be really powerful. Now publisher NIS America and developer Furyu Corporation will be attempting to mine a similar vein with the upcoming Crymachina. Like Nier: Automata, Crymachina is an action-RPG set in a postapocalyptic world and following a bunch of robot girls. In this dark future, these robot girls have to fight and destroy enemies in an attempt to become "Real Humans." But as you can see in the story trailer above, not all of the robots are convinced that becoming a "Real Human" is worth it.

Persona 5 Tactica is your standard (Clean) fanservice

If you already play Persona, your chances of picking up on the game and getting into it are high; however, if you're interested in it because you believe it's a fantastic game because of how much the community loves the previous titles and you're looking to get into it, you should wait a while and play through the entirety of Persona 5 Royal because you won't be able to resonate with the characters.

Hellguard | Android

It's a dark fantasy action dungeon crawler MMORPG developed by Black Anvil Studio, now in open beta/pre-registration in select regions. It aims to offer an intense, manual, and tactical action RPG experience on smartphones, with no autoplay, skill-based combat, and co-op and PvP modes. It eliminates autoplay: every attack, dodge, and ability must be performed by the player, emphasizing reflexes, timing, and build strategy. The world is shrouded in ever-deepening darkness: ancient seals that kept demonic forces at bay are breaking, and hellish creatures are emerging from forgotten realms. This chaos overwhelms villages, forests, and medieval ruins, and human civilization is on the verge of collapse. We begin in a dark village where a secret order of guardians—the Hell Guardians—resists the growing threat. You are one of the “wanderers,” warriors bound to this order, each with a personal story, unique abilities, and a past steeped in mystery.  As you progress, you discover ancient artifacts, uncovering the connection between this order and the source of the Corruption consuming the world. Narrative quests take you through dark and disturbing environments, revealing piece by piece the truth behind the falling barriers between the realms of the living and the demons. In this fight for survival, the fate of humanity may depend on your decisions and your willingness to face the darkness. There are multiple playable characters, each with different fighting styles, talents, and skill trees. You can upgrade them, combine equipment, and tailor your warrior to your preferred strategy. You can tackle dungeons with friends in co-op mode, participate in PvE raids against massive bosses, or challenge other players in PvP arenas to test your build and skills. Furthermore, the environments, enemies, and challenges are procedurally generated: each run offers a new experience, with different layouts, weather conditions, and random encounters. It promises to be a strong alternative in the mobile RPG scene for those looking for manual combat, deep progression, and an immersive dark narrative.  The decadent medieval atmosphere, cooperative gameplay, and variety of builds make it appealing to fans of the genre—especially if you appreciate a challenging, hands-on approach.

Cassette Beasts is more than just Pokémon

Cassette Beasts (Reviewed) Developer: Bytten Studio Publisher: Raw Fury Released: Apr 26, 2023 Price: $20 USD Cassette Beasts is what I would call an excellent attempt at resurrecting a monotonous and linear game like the Pokémon series, combined with an absolute banger soundtrack and reminiscent elements of relationship and bonding amongst the friends you meet, comparable to the Persona series. The game features a wonderful pixel graphic aesthetic that will be familiar to anyone who has played any Pokémon game in recent years. While it is similar, it is sufficiently distinct in its own style and charm to avoid being a "knockoff."

#JRPGsILove

Some people just aren't suited to playing the part of the flashy, in-your-face hero or the dastardly, mustache-twirling villain with larger-than-life panache. Instead, they operate in the shadows and pull the strings of society through wit and cleverness. In this case,  That's the role Cid wants to play when he's transported to another world. Cid spins a yarn or three and becomes the unlikely leader of the underground Shadow Garden organization that fights against a menacing cult (which he totally made up). However, there's a catch even his wild imagination didn't see coming: the cult he concocted actually exists, and they're beyond displeased that his power fantasy just got in the way of their  evil plan.

A mobile anime RPG without gacha? Ex Astris is a premium game with an addictive combat system

SHOULD I PLAY EX ASTRIS? If you have a phone powerful enough to run it, you should absolutely pick it up. Ex Astris is a brand-new mobile RPG from the creators of Arknights. It’s got everything you could want from an anime RPG—lovable characters, great combat, and a beautiful world—but there’s no gacha and no microtransactions. It’s refreshing to play a mobile title that’s not designed around monetization beyond the initial price to buy it, and if you’re into these kinds of games, it’s definitely worth paying for.

Eastern Exorcist | Android

It is a 2D metroidvania set in a fantasy oriental world with evil spirits and monsters; it recalls the classics "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice", "Vanillaware", "Odin Sphere", "Muramasa" and "Dragon's Crown". We will take on the role of a skilled exorcist against the chaotic world of evil spirits and monsters, moved by their spell, to make our way through brutal fights! From the beginning we will have a sword at our disposal to execute demons and monsters with tactical combat mechanics, that is, to break the enemy's posture you have to start inflicting real damage even by tackling him, with a dodge, from behind. The title focuses a lot on parrying, in fact, the combat is less basic than most metroidvania games. Most of the fights are based on parrying/attacking/and then on dispersing, which is an interesting mechanic like Soul Rea Er that absorbs souls.  It's almost like a more oriental version of Blasphemous, but again less deep. The traversal isn't difficult, but the game is all about the bosses and trying to find faster ways to kill them! There are about 25 bosses to fight, some of which are quite challenging in order to get power-ups. The action design was done frame by frame with the typical hand-drawn Chinese ink painting style.

SEA OF STARS - has left me speechless!

Come back in time to a time when game developers had to use creative tactics to create memorable moments due to the limited space they had to work with? You may not have a retro console, or you may have one, but the games are pricey. Whatever the reason, it is apparent that video games are no longer being produced to the same level as they once were, particularly by major brands. If they are, it's all taken from their previous successes and rebranded new with some paint.

How do you make dungeon-crawling even better? How about making it adorable?

SHOULD I PLAY SILENT HOPE? Definitely give this one a chance if you’re looking for a surprisingly relaxing, grindy dungeon-crawler, but maybe skip it if you mainly go to RPGs for the story. Silent Hope goes back to the absolute basics of the Japanese RPG formula, with a crew of seven mute heroes, each representing a different class, journeying into a multi-level abyss to save a fallen kingdom. By sticking to the fundamentals, the game is able to focus on making the characters and world charming as hell and the core gameplay streamlined and solid.
