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.

WWE meets RPG in a colorful toy box adventure - WrestleQuest Quick Review

SHOULD I PLAY WRESTLEQUEST? Definitely play it if you’re at all a fan of wrestling games and old-school, turn-based RPGs. WrestleQuest may be a wrestling game, but it plays more like Super Mario RPG than AEW: Fight Forever. I played as (and fought against) action figures inspired by legendary wrestlers—and even ran into some characters officially licensed from wrestlers like “Macho Man” Randy Savage, who’s basically this world’s god. Wrestling plus RPG may seem like a strange mix, but it works beautifully, coming together as a love letter to both the drama of the squared circle and the imagination and adventure of SNES-era role-playing games.

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.

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.

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 🙂

The new Pokémon DLC has an awesome story, but it also has tons of performance issues

SHOULD I PLAY POKÉMON SCARLET & VIOLET - THE TEAL MASK DLC? You should definitely play this one if you enjoyed Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, but if you weren’t a big fan of the latest Pokémon games, you might want to pass. The Teal Mask is the first half of The Hidden Treasures of Area Zero DLC. It has all the qualities that made Scarlet & Violet great, but it also has the same flaws. I was hoping that

EIYUDEN CHRONICLES HH - NOT SUIKODENS SUCCESSOR!

I've played my fair share of JRPG, RPG, and story games, and there have only been a handful that have been difficult to get through, those being Eiyuden Chronicles Hundred Heroes, Tales of Eternia and Star Ocean The Last Hope. The fundamental issue is that the translation from Japanese to English was plain atrocious. I'm not talking about basic errors in the dialogue; I'm talking about whole reinterpretations of the meaning into a completely different phrase. It's like if you were asking a question like

Uncharted Tombs Of Creed | Android

Here Drake is an ordinary tourist who will find himself by chance in an ancient Egyptian city, hidden from the world because of the desert sands. The locals, who he meets along the way, are also an RPG, they tell him legends about powerful pharaohs and treasures hidden in the bowels of the pyramids protected by terrible monsters awakened from eternal sleep due to the evocation of an ancient curse. It will be precisely these evil spirits who will transform the once prosperous oasis into a kingdom of darkness and fear with giant scarabs, nightmarish mummies, etc. with the sole intent of reclaiming the city and chasing away the peaceful residents. The title has the style of Assassin's Creed Mobile (only for iOS) and Tomb Raider. It will be thanks to a local inhabitant, with whom we will interact several times, who will provide clues that will allow us to reveal the mystery of the ancient sphinx and break the curse!  We will travel through temples and lost dungeons, we will encounter mystical creatures, we will have to solve puzzles to open passages, jump and climb to unlock contraptions and finally face powerful bosses. Exploring the ancient ruins in 3D is a marvel for the eyes considering it is a mobile title; it reminds me of the splendor of Gameloft with 9mm. Very often we will be fascinated by the architecture of the buildings that we can even cross and interact with to open portals. The particle effects of the sea and the water that gushes from the fountains of the palace are well designed, the pyramids in the distance, the sailing ship with its sails under the impetuous wind, the moving clouds with dynamic weather (depends on the time you play it), the grass caressed by the wind, etc. It is still in beta-test phase and the improvements will come in the current year.

Pokémon takes a trip to the ’80s in this monster collecting adventure - Cassette Beasts Quick Review

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it, even if you’re not a huge Pokémon fan. Cassette Beasts is clearly inspired by the Pokémon franchise, but it switches up the classic formula, offering something that feels fresh and new. From its lively ’80s aesthetic to its Zelda-like exploration mechanics, it’s one of the most exciting and original monster collecting games I’ve played. TIME PLAYED I spent around nine hours with

Ready to time travel? Reverse: 1999 is a sci-fi RPG with incredible battles and characters

SHOULD I PLAY REVERSE: 1999? Play it if you love JRPGs, card games, or vaguely human-shaped collectibles. Reverse: 1999 takes place in a world where time is moving backwards. You command a group of Arcanists, which are basically like time-travelers, that can survive the shift between eras and must fight to protect the future. The story has a nice mix of science fiction and fantasy elements, but it’s the lively cast of characters that really bring the setting to life. I really felt invested in the characters I controlled, and for me, that’s what takes an RPG from good to great.

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.

Calling all Undertale fans! Atlas Wept is a quirky pixel art RPG about empathy and robot dogs

SHOULD I PLAY ATLAS WEPT? If you’re a fan of EarthBound, Undertale, and other quirky turn-based RPGs, this is definitely a title you should take a look at. Atlas Wept is a pixelated RPG with strong retro vibes. The story alternates between two distinct casts of characters as they embark on a strange adventure. The groups haven’t crossed paths quite yet in my playthrough, but I suspect they’ll run into each other eventually. There’s a free demo available on Steam, so if this game has sparked your curiosity, you should definitely give it a try.
