Super Mario RPG is a must-play remake of one of the most nostalgia-packed SNES RPGs ever

SHOULD I PLAY SUPER MARIO RPG? That depends. Do you like feeling joy? Do you get a kick out of taking part in pure, unabashed, childlike glee and wonder? If yes, then duh, absolutely jump into the wonderful world of Super Mario RPG as soon as possible. But if you’re more of a Bowser-esque figure who prefers ruining the day for innocent toadlings, or if you prefer your RPGs avoid cracking jokes at all costs, then maybe this one just isn’t for you. Or maybe this will be the game that finally breaks through the thick, Grinch-esque barrier of cynicism and unhappiness you’ve surrounded yourself in. Who knows?

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 🙂

#JRPGsILove

For me the best JRPG of all time is FINAL FANTASY 7 (PS1) it started my love for jrpg genre and it's my first ps1 game. It also started my love for the FF series! It also gave birth most of the iconic video game characters  such as Cloud, Tifa and Sephiroth! lastly FF7 also introduced JRPG genre to the world So i recommend you guys playing FF7 Ps1 before playing the Remake

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

Tower of Fantasy - Review

Introduction Set hundreds of years in the future on the distant planet of Aida. In Tower of Fantasy, dwindling resources and a lack of energy have forced mankind to leave earth and migrate to Aida, a lush and habitable alien world. There, they observed the comet Mara and discovered an unknown but powerful energy called "Omnium" contained in it. They built the Omnium Tower to capture Mara, but due to the influence of Omnium radiation, a catastrophic disaster occurred on their new homeworld.

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.

Aether Gazer is a well-polished gacha-styled action-rpg that you've probably seen before

If you couldn’t get enough of Honkai: Star Rail and found yourself thinking? Is there something similar that’s worth playing? Aether Gazer could be the game for you. Like Honkai: Star Rail and Wuthering Waves, it’s an Action RPG with gacha elements. You can expect to level and collect different characters, get daily rewards for playing, and get new combat abilities that show off the game’s dynamic visuals. But if you’re looking for something truly unique, you’ll be left wanting. Nothing here hasn’t been done in the genre and the overall sci-fi narrative that initially showed promise was generic and confusing. However, if you don’t care about any of that and are just looking for something that looks great and allows you to hack-n-slash and collect heroes, you won’t be disappointed.

Nepa Saga | Android

We will take on the role of Ekaa a humble blacksmith who became a legendary warrior to save his land: Nepal; it is a surprising city, which in some ways seems to have remained unchanged from the Middle Ages just like in the mobile title. It takes inspiration from the eastern Himalayas with intricate temples, busy city streets and imposing mountain peaks all faithfully reproduced with the UE5 graphics engine and being an RPG we will face fearsome enemies: the cunning Ghyak, the weaver Mohini and the terrifying Hima.

Although, it needs some improvements in different areas of the game like bugs, glitches and fps drops. I would still say it is great with futuristic concepts and stuff, the game has huge potential, and different vibe than any other battle royale game.which makes the game so fun and addictive to play..I hope they make the improvements soon, to be able deliver the best experience for us, fans. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

This difficult, old-school RPG has the longest name I’ve ever seen for a video game

SHOULD I PLAY MON-YU? Let me start with a warning: despite the intriguing name and the cutesy character art, Mon-Yu is a hardcore dungeon crawler, something along the same lines as the Etrian Odyssey series. I know I’m not alone in loving that stuff, but I also know it’s not for everyone. If you are someone who also enjoys slowly filling in each square of a grid-based map, and carefully choosing your actions each turn,

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.

Having a good time with this one. Aside from the obivious srpg style that ressembles Final Fantasy Tactics in the character structure (doesn't got job change, but can equip reaction and action skills), it contains two main gameplays: 1) the 1st one is the basic structure that you see in a lot of gacha games, where you select a stage, spent energy and battle your way in this part of the campaign, along side all others gacha strucutures so far (upgrades and such);

Attention Atelier fans! This cozy crafting RPG is a must-play

SHOULD I PLAY WITCHSPRING R? WitchSpring R instantly reminded me of the Atelier series, so if you’re a fan of those games, you won’t want to miss this one. It’s an incredibly cute and charming RPG, but it’s not shallow either. There’s real depth to its gameplay and characters, and its story is much more interesting than it initially seems to be. It’s a great mix of a fantasy adventure and a slice-of-life story, and that combination is hard to resist.
