This Final Fantasy Tactics-inspired RPG presents both sides of war - Arcadian Atlas Quick Review

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re a fan of retro strategy titles like Tactics Ogre or Final Fantasy Tactics. Arcadian Atlas is a pixelated tactical RPG that feels like it could be a forgotten PlayStation title. It takes place in Arcadia, a kingdom trapped in a bloody civil war. The story revolves around Vashti and Desmond, two lovers who find themselves on opposite sides of the conflict. As I played, I had the chance to see the war from different perspectives, which gave the story additional depth. The old-school battle mechanics might feel dated to some players, but die-hard tactics fans will definitely want to check this one out.

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 🙂

CRYSTAL ATLAN BETA IS HERE! THE ACTUAL GENSHIN KILLER!

SIGN UP FOR THE BETA HERE You know that Genshin is not flawless. It is monotonous and feels unjust, both in terms of gameplay and from the standpoint of the developer towards the community. Although such games may initially appear enjoyable, they quickly devolve into unending grinds and incorporate predatory Gacha elements that fail to provide the player with much of a sense of reward. Crystal Atlan's trajectory appears to be favorable. It is Genshin, minus the tedious grinding, the Gacha, and the eventual incapacity to continue playing. You may continue playing indefinitely; however, your time is restricted by the story's progression. That is, you are permitted to continue enjoying all other content once your daily quota has been met. I really hope that they continue down this path.

An upgrade over the old Medabots RPGs from the gba

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.

With some technical improvements, Knightingale could be one of the best mobile JRPGs ever

Square Enix has spent the past few years rebuilding a lot of its old-school credibility with a bunch of high-quality pixel-art games using what that publisher calls "HD-2D" visuals. Think stuff like Octopath Traveler, where it's using pixel visuals that would feel at home on the Super Nintendo, but with a level of quality that classic hardware couldn't possibly pull off. It's a wonder that more other publishers and developers haven't tried to follow Square's example, which is why I was immediately interested in Knightingale, a gacha game with JRPG aesthetics and an absolutely beautiful look being created by NetEase. And while the first closed beta for Knightingale definitely has some very big technical issues, I'm impressed and cautiously optimistic with the actual game here.

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.
