The latest Dragon Quest game is all about capturing adorable creatures...and then combining them!

Dragon Quest Monsters has been a spin-off branch of Enix's beloved Dragon Quest series since the first one launched for the Game Boy Color way back in 1998. These games take the recognizable Dragon Quest art style and implement Pokémon-style creature collecting and battling. It's two great tastes that go great together! Despite being a no-brainer gameplay formula, though, it's been a long time since we've had a Dragon Quest Monsters game make its way to North America. The last one was Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2, which launched for the Nintendo 3DS over a decade ago. That streak is finally ready to be broken, though, with

All done with Super Mario RPG? Here's the colorful action-RPG you'll want to play next

Very few RPGs manage to capture the sense of whimsy and adventure of Super Mario RPG, so when one comes along, we take notice. That's why we couldn't look away when we saw the absolutely adorable and fun-looking Born of Bread. This RPG puts players into the shoes of Loaf, a "flour golem" who must journey the world and make new friends while solving a perplexing mystery. Like Super Mario RPG, Born of Bread's combat system is technically turn-based, but different moves allow players to do extra damage by completing timing-based challenges. So it requires a little more attention than the average turn-based RPG, where you might just tap "attack" over and over.

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.

Batman Begins | Android_EMuPS2 ( ASUS Rogphone6pro )

It is faithfully inspired by the film of the same name by Nolan starring the Dark Knight, or Batman. Since he was a child, Bruce Wayne has lived with the fear of being the architect of his parents' death, an atavistic fear that has repercussions even in adulthood; for bats, fear is a sign of resilience. The same fear that he will put at the service of Gotham City to prevent other children from suffering like him because of rampant crime. Batman, does not fear rivals, since the first films, instills fear, fear and then real terror in his victims, so that at the moment of combat, he finds himself facing little more than frightened and often unarmed big men who are little able to respond to his blows. Everything is managed audiovisually through indicators that are sometimes difficult to read and much more explicit reproductions of a heartbeat, faster the greater the criminal's fear!  Stealth is nothing more than a sweetened version of Splinter Cell: to get behind the unsuspecting enemy and take him out otherwise we will be massacred in an instant by bursts of machine guns! The level design is cinematically beautiful to see so much so that there are numerous stages to explore so huge that it will take two hours to finish a single mission. Furthermore, there are three difficulty levels which guarantee a minimum challenge. I will tell you everything is made in an exceptional way and with great care, and in particular the polygonal model of Batman is impressive, very faithful to the film counterpart, equipped with an impressive number of animations, very fluid and convincing. Just look at the cape, how it moves, to be fascinated; the other main characters are also wonderful, Ducard and Jonathan Crane, Falcone and Agent Flass seem just like them. The graphics and sound are at very high levels.. and then let me say: The dubbing in Italian is state of the art.

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.

Gnome King Adventures | Android

It's an action-strategy game developed by Rexobyte, recently updated on February 3, 2026. In the peaceful world of the gnomes, a disturbing shadow falls on the village: dark creatures emerge from nowhere and capture innocents, imprisoning them and spreading fear throughout the huts and woods. When all hope seems lost, he awakens from his regal slumber to face this threat. His mission is clear: travel through treacherous territories, fight hordes of enemies, free the captured gnomes, and restore peace to his land. Rescued gnomes return to the mines to generate gold, which we can spend to upgrade equipment and allow the king to enhance weapons and armor. Each territory features an increasing number of dangers, bosses to face, and strategic obstacles to overcome. Each stage features different enemies and environmental challenges to overcome with timing and tactics, including the final boss. As we progress through the world, we'll use weapons and special abilities to upgrade.  The combination of real-time combat and resource management makes for a fun and rewarding experience, with a good balance between challenge and progression.

Crafting game lovers won’t want to miss this cozy RPG

WitchSpring R is a simple but addictive RPG that’s all about collecting items and crafting potions. It’s a remake of the first title in a popular series of mobile games, but it also has a lot in common with another game series: Atelier. I’m a huge Atelier fan, and WitchSpring R definitely captures the cozy slice-of-life qualities that makes those games great. The game revolves around Pieberry, an adorable witch who would like nothing more than to spend her days eating the best pie that the world has to offer. Unfortunately for her, WitchSpring R takes place in a world where magic users are being hunted down. This means she has to dodge attacks from enemy soldiers while she’s exploring or gathering ingredients.

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 🙂

Sometimes you want to play a cozy game where you run a restaurant, and sometimes you want to play a challenging action-RPG about exploring a dungeon. But what if you could play both at that same time? Challenge accepted by Cuisineer! This new cozy roguelite has players trying to run a hit restaurant in order to pay off your parents' debt. But making a five-star restaurant requires the best ingredients, and the only way you'll find those is by going deep into a number of procedurally generated dungeons and fighting the monsters you find there.

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.

An Atelier gacha game? Atelier Resleriana is a beautiful slice-of-life game with limited gameplay

SHOULD I PLAY ATELIER RESLERIANA? If you’re a big fan of the Atelier franchise or are looking for a cute, chill gacha game, Atelier Resleriana definitely deserves a closer look. That said, if you’re expecting a full-scale Atelier game, Resleriana might be a disappointment. Officially speaking, this is a mainline entry in the Atelier series, but it feels like a spin-off. There are no environments to explore, and the crafting system is stripped down and simplified. It’s a fun, appealing game, and I definitely enjoyed my time with it, but it doesn’t compare to
