When did strategy RPGs get so stylish? Persona 5 Tactica is a spin-off game you won't want to miss

SHOULD I PLAY PERSONA 5 TACTICA? Play it if you enjoyed Persona 5 and have any interest in strategy RPGs. Persona 5 Tactica is stylish, charming, and has absurdly addictive tactical battles. The chibi art style won’t appeal to everyone, but it’s a fantastic-looking game with even better gameplay. If you haven’t gotten around to playing Persona 5 yet, you might want to avoid this—it has a few major story spoilers—but if you’re willing to deal with that, you should have no issues following the plot. You can get a closer look at

#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.

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.

MechArashi | Android

This tactical RPG was announced by Square Enix in April 2022; it is part of the Front Mission saga, the first title having been released in 1995 for the Super Nintendo. It features giant mecha robots called "Wanzers", short for the German Wanderung Panzer, meaning "walking tanks". Ninety-one years before the New Era, an asteroid fell on our planet, forming the island of Milkhama. Many years later, the Obsidians discovered, after the impact with our planet, the existence of a matter called "Arashi", from which a new intelligent alloy, "Arashium", was born. When fused with mecha (known as ST), it improved their performance. This discovery caused a series of military conflicts and political tensions that affected several countries between the 21st and 22nd centuries between two powerful global federations: the "Second Huffman War".  On Milkhama Island, countless mecha factories competed for supremacy, resulting in the creation of classic mecha with varying designs and performances, along with a range of corresponding weapons. So much so that the STs, once peaceful machines, were used on the battlefield! In the blink of an eye, Milkhama Island became the coveted prize of all factions, sparking yet another world conflict! War, unfortunately, never changes! Here, you can customize the bodies, arms, legs, and weapons of your mecha to build a team of mecha suited to the needs of each battle, then pair them with elite pilots, each with their own unique personality and backstory. You can also customize the paintwork of your mecha and weapons down to the smallest detail, with over 120 free default colors available! Of course, in these conflicts, there is a group of mercenaries whose goal is to survive!  The single-part destruction battle system allows you to assemble your mecha however you like, equip a wide selection of weapons, and choose your favorite pilots to engage in battle. When any part of a mecha is destroyed, its effectiveness in battle is significantly reduced. By targeting the enemy's most critical parts, you can gain a clear strategic advantage. The hit points of different mecha parts are calculated separately in battle, allowing for the destruction of individual parts. This feature opens the door to a world of infinite strategic possibilities. Destroying the torso, the part with the highest hit points, directly neutralizes the target, while breaking the arms or legs compromises weapons and mobility. Every choice must be carefully considered in advance, based on the current situation on the battlefield.

Green Glass ( The End) | Android

I finally finished Green Glass from the Chinese studio Netease.  I crossed landscapes in a medieval epic fantasy world with a very fascinating Asian flavor in the guise of a warrior on a journey in which I had to accompany a girl to be protected from a series of dangers and enemies.  Along the way, I faced tons of obstacles, including powerful enemies who tried to end my adventure prematurely.  In some scenarios I rode a horse, while other times I even went down to prepare healing tea.
