Why not start 2024 like it's 1994 with this great-looking SNES-style retro RPG?

Another January means another new year. The future's great and all, but do you ever wish that you could step back into the past? Well, we can't help with that, but we can recommend a game that might just give you that warm and fuzzy feeling you felt popping a new RPG cartridge into your Super Nintendo! Crystal Story: Dawn of Dusk is a new retro RPG launching on PC next week. Created by solo indie developer Fred Brown, it's intended to be the beginning of a series. But as you can probably guess from watching that trailer, this game is heavily inspired by classic RPGs of the SNES and Game Boy era, such as

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.

Zenless Zone Zero is like Persona!? [Reaction and Evaluation]

This is truly surprising. I'm not a huge admirer of MiHoYo and their work, but reaching out to players that are specifically enamored with Persona and it's atmosphere in terms of bonding, gameplay, and music / story is a refreshing change of pace that hopefully result in fresh new concepts from other developers willing to reach out. It's difficult to suppose it wouldn't, given that the game has already gathered over 10 million pre-registered users in several months, and has undoubtedly risen even higher since its recent showcase and announcement. Don't forget to

My Thoughts on Dragon Quest I + II HD‑2D and Dragon Quest III HD‑2D

I’ve been checking out the reviews and previews for the HD‑2D remakes of Dragon Quest I + II and Dragon Quest III, and after playing them, here’s my take in plain, casual player talk. ⸻ 1. Classic Feel Meets Modern Touch For me, the biggest charm of these HD‑2D remakes is being able to relive the nostalgia of the original games while enjoying modern conveniences and upgraded visuals. It’s like wearing your favorite old clothes made with better fabric and added pockets—familiar, but pleasantly surprising. In I + II, I was curious about how they’d spice up combat, especially since the original I was pretty basic. The previews mentioned multi-enemy battles, which really piqued my interest. At the same time, I was worried that too many changes might ruin the classic feel. III HD‑2D struck a better balance: keeping the simple, heroic adventure vibe while adding quality-of-life improvements like faster battles, auto-save, and voice acting. ⸻ 2. Story and Immersion If you’re used to complex stories, the simple plots here might seem “lightweight.” But I’ve come to appreciate the “simplicity is beauty” approach. The classics were always about the chosen hero, saving the world, and defeating the big bad guy. In I + II, especially I, the story is straightforward. Some players say, “Don’t expect anything deep—just defeat the enemies and save the world.” Adding small side quests or tweaking narrative pacing could boost immersion without losing the original charm. III offers a richer world, with job classes, day/night cycles, and exploration that give more freedom. Exploring this world and building a party still feels exciting. ⸻ 3. Combat and Systems Combat is a big deal for me. The remakes did a good job improving it. • In III, combat feels more flexible, and speeding up battles reduces grind fatigue. • The job system remains, and switching classes or combining skills is still engaging. • In I + II, introducing multi-enemy battles in I shows the developers’ willingness to rethink classic mechanics, which I really appreciate. Of course, some old-school limitations show up, like running repetitive encounters or grinding for levels, which can feel tedious at times. ⸻ 4. Visuals, Audio, and Art The HD‑2D style combines pixel characters with modern lighting, depth, and layered environments, giving the world more “weight.” III is widely praised as the most beautiful in the HD‑2D series. Monster animations, combat effects, shadows, and environmental lighting all add a nice touch. Music and sound effects are faithful to the originals but remastered with modern instrumentation, and the addition of voice acting makes key dialogues more immersive. ⸻ 5. Minor Gripes and Hopes Even though I enjoyed both remakes, here are a few things I hope could be improved: 1. Richer story / side content – More side quests or character interactions would make the world feel even more alive. 2. Deeper system complexity – For players who love strategy, class combos, and skill trees, more depth would be nice. 3. Random encounters – Some areas can feel grindy; fewer encounters or visible monsters could help. 4. Platform / performance optimization – Handheld versions should run smoothly, with minimal loading and good visuals. 5. Cross-save / upgrade options – I + II remakes currently lack cross-platform save support, which could be inconvenient for future hardware migration. ⸻ 6. Overall Thoughts Overall, these HD‑2D remakes are highly worth checking out, especially for nostalgic players or anyone who loves classic RPGs. • If you missed the originals, these remakes are an excellent entry point: modern visuals, smooth gameplay, and friendly mechanics. • If you’re a long-time fan, it’s rewarding to see the classics come to life while respecting the original vision. • If you prefer complex narratives or extremely deep systems, some parts might feel light—but the remakes strike a solid balance of classic charm and modern convenience. In short: Dragon Quest III HD‑2D feels like the most polished and mature entry in the series so far, while I + II HD‑2D is a bold attempt to modernize the classics. If you enjoy this type of game or classic RPGs, these remakes are definitely worth trying. I’d love to hear your thoughts if you’ve played them too 🙂

If you played Medabots Metabee or Rokusho version you'll understand most of the mechanics of Medarot S, although you'll need to learn the new ones.

Obtaining new medabots and medafighters is reasonably easy, medarot s even have fp points obtained by using medabots from other players to pull on a special banner.

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.

Explorer Ellen 3D | Android

Courage and resourcefulness in a small figure 📖 Storyline: Ellen is a courageous and determined adventurer who often undertakes journeys into the dangerous universe, but during her exploration she loses sight of her sister, Lia, who she always carries with her, kidnapped by ferocious monsters.  Her ultimate goal is to find her and take revenge for this affront! 🎮 Gameplay: It's not the classic puzzle game characterized by exploration and action but a real inner journey!  It is very important to point out that the heroine here only has three lives!  If they are all lost, we will have to start the passage from the last checkpoint of which there are very few to allow us to explore and think about what to do to access new areas.  It features a huge number of iconic locations (who doesn't remember the Startreck crew's adventures on new planets?), very interesting and beautiful settings with bright colors where monsters constantly roam.  As she lands on a new planet she'll be armed with her trusty guns and a strong will, facing countless obstacles and challenges along the way, including treacherous terrain and deadly traps.  Despite the many dangers that await her she remains resolute and determined to save her sister, whatever the cost to her!  With her courage and strength we will also embark on an adventure within ourselves as she will test our limits and push us to the limit of our capabilities to overcome dynamic platforms and acid lakes with mammoth monsters.

Build your own cartoon empire & destroy your enemies in Cartoon Craft! { Rating in TapTap 9.1}

Cartoon Craft is a real-time strategy game developed and published by Studio Nap for mobile devices. This game takes place in a charming, cartoonish world where players must build and manage a small village of cartoon characters, gathering resources, constructing and defenses, and training an army to fend off enemy attacks. Tha game is pretty fun if you're into build and gather types of games like Minecraft and the like, but if your new to this type of game, the game can be rather difficult to get started with, as after the initial tutorial of the game is over it doesn't give you much in the way of mission directives at all.

Is a gacha version of FF7 worth It?

Black Beacon | Android

We will take on the role of the Seer, Zero, a prophet foretold in ancient prophecies, whose mysterious black monolith will be known as the “Beacon” which once activated, will trigger anomalies beyond comprehension in the Tower of Babel! These anomalies are much more than just myths. Within them lie hidden truths, waiting to be discovered. Our task will be to lead a secret organization called: Eme-an to protect humanity from unknown dangers that will awaken an ancient sun god, and what follows is a perilous journey through time where the very existence of humanity is at stake! It is a sci-fi ARPG that boasts beautiful animated cutscenes and the characters shine most when they are engaged in heated battles and strategic combat! Additionally, we will have to chain together the coolest combos to take down huge enemies, maximizing each character's strengths for satisfying victories; it also allows you to swap characters mid-fight or mid-combo, which at least gives them some respite after being thrown by monsters.  Our choices will determine the fate of the world and will resonate through the centuries.

#JRPGsILove Octopath Traveler

I’d recommend Square Enix’s Octopath Traveler. Its gorgeous and dreamlike art style is everything, plus a good story (you have a chance to explore eight travelers’ life and each of them has different abilities) and incredible music. Also, there are dungeons and caves, in addition to the main quest. It has enough content to keep me playing.
