Rune Factory 3 Special blends farming, fantasy, and dungeon crawling to create an amazing RPG

Many years ago, when controllers still had wires and dinosaurs roamed the earth, there was only one farming series on the scene: Harvest Moon. The Harvest Moon series was incredible—I loved tending crops, raising livestock, and chatting up the locals. But there were times when I wanted something more. What would it be like to play a farming game with a different setting? What if there was a game where I could whack weeds and slay monsters?

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,

River City: Rival Showdown gives me ’90s retro action I love and ’90s gaming frustration I hate

SHOULD I PLAY RIVER CITY: RIVAL SHOWDOWN? Give this one a go if you’re a fan of the River City Ransom series, beat ’em ups, or old-school games in general. River City: Rival Showdown is a remaster of the remake of River City Ransom, which was first released for the Famicom in 1989. That lineage might sound confusing, but Rival Showdown offers a great mix of new and classic elements: updated backgrounds, a day/night cycle, an open world to explore, beat ’em up adventure, and RPG elements that will get any fan of the original hooked. It’s not modernized enough to get rid of a lot of the more frustrating parts of classic games, though, so you’ll need a little bit of a masochistic streak to really fall in love with this one.

ON THE FENCE ABOUT GETTING THIS GAME? LET ME HELP!

Game: Granblue Fantasy: Relink Platform: PC & Console Price: $59.99 USD Genre: JRPG, Adventure, Monster Hunting, Multiplayer Overview I'd say that I am someone who immerses themselves in the JRPG genre. Specifically, I have always been a huge fan of Bandai Namco games since I was a child. It's not because they are a huge company; it's just that since Tales of Phantasia, every game in their series has been reasonably well made and fresh. However, as time went on, that appeal faded until this developer took over my attention, in this case being

CRYSTAL ATLAN BETA IS HERE! THE ACTUAL GENSHIN KILLER!

SIGN UP FOR THE BETA HERE You know that Genshin is not flawless. It is monotonous and feels unjust, both in terms of gameplay and from the standpoint of the developer towards the community. Although such games may initially appear enjoyable, they quickly devolve into unending grinds and incorporate predatory Gacha elements that fail to provide the player with much of a sense of reward. Crystal Atlan's trajectory appears to be favorable. It is Genshin, minus the tedious grinding, the Gacha, and the eventual incapacity to continue playing. You may continue playing indefinitely; however, your time is restricted by the story's progression. That is, you are permitted to continue enjoying all other content once your daily quota has been met. I really hope that they continue down this path.

The latest Dragon Quest game is all about capturing adorable creatures...and then combining them!

Dragon Quest Monsters has been a spin-off branch of Enix's beloved Dragon Quest series since the first one launched for the Game Boy Color way back in 1998. These games take the recognizable Dragon Quest art style and implement Pokémon-style creature collecting and battling. It's two great tastes that go great together! Despite being a no-brainer gameplay formula, though, it's been a long time since we've had a Dragon Quest Monsters game make its way to North America. The last one was Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2, which launched for the Nintendo 3DS over a decade ago. That streak is finally ready to be broken, though, with

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.

It is a 2D puzzle platformer with "mirror mechanics", with the protagonist having the ability to create a dark reflection of himself, splitting the screen in two, with which he can swap places and solve puzzles and make his way through this evil place full of secrets and flooded with tragedy. His main ability is to exploit the shadow reflected by a shard of a mirror and move it to solve puzzles. It will take logic and skill to survive this dangerous journey of self-reflection. It is basically a dark and twisted fairy tale that explores the desolate recesses of the tormented mind, darkened by the past that spills into the present! The protagonist of this aberrant story is the one who as a child was bullied because he was different due to his aesthetic appearance. Despite his noble title he often wakes up in the middle of the night tormented by events of the past, in which his figure was quite "unwelcome" to most due to his slightly strange and ugly face!  To overcome this childhood trauma he often ends up getting drunk with an impressive amount of alcohol. He constantly relives, through various flashbacks, unpleasant moments from his past and to extricate himself from the dark meshes of what happened after his conception, because of a face that did not fit the one chosen by society, which wants us all beautiful and handsome, his narcissistic wound will have the flavor of social redemption, although everything that afflicts them is impossible to erase. Meanwhile in his desolate and immense palace there are several doors that allow you to unlock new portions of the map, thanks to drawings from the past that he will have to collect and... after obtaining one of the many children's illustrations, he will offer a portion of a specific moment in which he experienced discomfort; in this way it is possible to unravel the plot, assembling them all to better understand what pushed him to distance himself from society. At the end of each chapter there are boss fights that we will have to face with the ability of reflection!  Some bosses stand out for their mechanics and aesthetics, others for their genius and peculiar characteristics! Solving certain intricate puzzles through logic is really fun, especially when you sharpen your skills and start getting serious (after about an hour). It is truly surprising how the Spanish development team managed to tell a story without using dialogues or voices, especially when the protagonist tries with all his strength to juggle reality, believing he is inside a mirror and sees his own reflection with a wrinkled and sad face. The title itself advises us at the beginning of the game to take breaks between the various chapters, so as to better assimilate the plot and not be shocked by so much crudeness in telling existential facts; it is fun but also cruel in telling a paradoxical and unique story. The mirror often reveals everything, but be careful... sometimes, the truth is hard to digest.

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.
