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.

This mobile fantasy RPG has tons of potential

Metria is shaping up to be a solid mobile action RPG. I participated in the second Alpha Test, and while the game is still a little rough around the edges, it’s bursting with promise. It has a few bugs, and it could use some polish, but as long as those issues are fixed, I think it’ll be a blast to play. While I started my Metria journey as a lone warrior, I was quickly joined by a colorful cast of characters. I could equip up to three characters in my party at a time and switch between characters with a push of a button. Every character has a distinct playstyle, and rapid switching from one party member to the next let me take full advantage of their skills.

Raging Bytes: A Thrilling Zombie Odyssey

Embark on a heart-pounding journey through the zombie-infested chaos with "Raging Bytes." Developed by Hit-Point and published by KEMCO, this game ventures into uncharted territory for the studio, delivering a suspenseful and unique gaming experience that sets it apart from the typical fantasy RPGs. Background Story: The game unfolds in the aftermath of a mysterious accident, where police officer Ben awakens in a hospital to discover a city overrun by zombies. The narrative takes an intriguing turn as Ben, joined by the resourceful doctor Barbra, navigates through streets teeming with undead horrors. The unreliable government adds an extra layer of tension, elevating the overall atmosphere and immersing players in a harrowing adventure.

Atuel: A Documentary Game | Android

I believe that raising awareness about environmental issues, even through a smartphone, is one of the best ways to send a message about the fight against climate change. Unfortunately, most people are starting to lose interest when it comes to emissions and pollution. The title, named after the Atuel River, which flows through the Argentine provinces of Mendoza and La Pampa, explores the landscape and the people who live around this vital artery. From an isometric perspective, you explore the ecosystem firsthand; at times, you even become part of the river! It's essentially a surrealist documentary, combining breathtaking landscapes with an ambient soundtrack by composer Makunouchi Bento, creating an emotional and reflective experience. As we traverse the surreal environments from above, real voices tell stories of the river valley's past, present, and uncertain future. The transitions between different perspectives allow us to experience the river's story through multiple points of view. It has the ability to convey a powerful message, highlighting the fragile balance between humanity and nature.  As we journey through rivers, valleys, burning forests, the sea, and more, we'll gradually be transformed into different animals and elements, adding a unique perspective on how we're changing the planet's natural cycles. The gameplay is a linear experience similar to a walking sim, which I don't mean in a derogatory sense, and the fact that it transforms us into different animals and elements, usually downstream, brings to light the impact of climate change. I was impressed by the variety of environments and graphics, which change every time we transform into something new, and by how it uses these changes and the narrative to explain how rivers are like living beings. I thought it was a new game, but it's actually a Steam port; I only received the notification from the Google Play Store a few minutes ago. I highly recommend trying it. It's free and only lasts 30 minutes.

Crhunchyroll: Pepper Grinder | Android

It's a fast-paced action-platformer developed by Ahr Ech and published by Devolver Digital. It's a high-speed 2D action-platformer where the centerpiece of the experience is... a "Grinder" drill—and it's not just a weapon, but a true multi-purpose tool! The protagonist is Pepper, a young and determined treasure hunter who is shipwrecked on a mysterious island after losing all her loot. On the island, a band of bizarre enemies called Narlings steals what remains, including her precious mechanical drill called the "Grinder." Determined to get back what's hers, Pepper manages to recover the Grinder and begins her adventure through increasingly varied and dangerous environments. From sandy beaches to underground caves, industrial structures, and surreal landscapes, Pepper faces hordes of enemies and gigantic bosses, each with unique mechanics. The narrative is simple but effective: there are no long dialogues, but rather a story told through fluid animations and dynamic cutscenes.  Pepper's journey is a constant race for revenge, in a colorful yet hostile world, where each level represents a new step towards the final showdown. The drill allows Pepper to dig into the ground and "swim" underground, launch himself into the air at high speed, attach himself to mechanisms and activate platforms, and create incredibly fluid movement combos. The control system is surprisingly responsive, especially on high-performance devices. The gameplay is based on rhythm and precision: the more you master the drill, the more spectacular the experience becomes. The enemies are varied and well-characterized. Some require timing, others strategy. The boss fights are one of the game's highlights: dynamic, intense, and often divided into multiple phases, the levels are full of secrets, alternative routes, and collectibles. In short, it encourages replayability thanks to timed challenges, hidden object collection, and routes optimized for speedrunning. Its detailed pixel art style and fluid animations make the title visually captivating. The music is energetic and perfectly complements the frenetic action.  It's not a casual game: it requires precision, reflexes, and a little practice, but it's incredibly rewarding.

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.

How a scrapped Capcom horror game became a classic RPG

Capcom just released a complete compilation of the Mega Man Battle Network games, which has me thinking about what a miracle it is that the series exists in the first place. The first game was originally conceived as a Game Boy Advance horror game that measured your heart rate with a wearable device. When Capcom couldn’t make that work, they quickly retooled the initial concept and got to work on an RPG with a card-based battle system. When the devs decided to include Mega Man, they switched from cards to Battle Chips, and

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?

Tap-Review: Legends of Crystal

Game that was released 6 years ago, is quite hard to find. Not very popular in Indonesia, so not many people know about it. I found it on GameExp. But unexpectedly, it's also available on TapTap 😅 At a glance, its style is similar to JRPG with a Turn Based RPG as the combat system. Characters, story, and so on are inspired by Indonesian folklore. This game is still not stable and is in "Early Access" which is why I often experience "freeze" especially in Majalengka Village.  It makes me save the game repeatedly. It's annoying, but that's how it is.

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.
