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.

River City: Rival Showdown gives me ’90s retro action I love and ’90s gaming frustration I hate

SHOULD I PLAY RIVER CITY: RIVAL SHOWDOWN? Give this one a go if you’re a fan of the River City Ransom series, beat ’em ups, or old-school games in general. River City: Rival Showdown is a remaster of the remake of River City Ransom, which was first released for the Famicom in 1989. That lineage might sound confusing, but Rival Showdown offers a great mix of new and classic elements: updated backgrounds, a day/night cycle, an open world to explore, beat ’em up adventure, and RPG elements that will get any fan of the original hooked. It’s not modernized enough to get rid of a lot of the more frustrating parts of classic games, though, so you’ll need a little bit of a masochistic streak to really fall in love with this one.

This is a love letter to RPGS of the past so if you don't like reading - turn back now otherwise carry on down memory lane (⌒‐⌒) As a dedicated fan since 1995, video games play a special place in my heart and I am passionate about sharing my knowledge, thoughts, and opinions on nostalgic retro titles. These games may look dated but without them most of the games you play now may never of existed without the inspiration and you owe it to yourselves to play these historic classics.

MechArashi | Android

This tactical RPG was announced by Square Enix in April 2022; it is part of the Front Mission saga, the first title having been released in 1995 for the Super Nintendo. It features giant mecha robots called "Wanzers", short for the German Wanderung Panzer, meaning "walking tanks". Ninety-one years before the New Era, an asteroid fell on our planet, forming the island of Milkhama. Many years later, the Obsidians discovered, after the impact with our planet, the existence of a matter called "Arashi", from which a new intelligent alloy, "Arashium", was born. When fused with mecha (known as ST), it improved their performance. This discovery caused a series of military conflicts and political tensions that affected several countries between the 21st and 22nd centuries between two powerful global federations: the "Second Huffman War".  On Milkhama Island, countless mecha factories competed for supremacy, resulting in the creation of classic mecha with varying designs and performances, along with a range of corresponding weapons. So much so that the STs, once peaceful machines, were used on the battlefield! In the blink of an eye, Milkhama Island became the coveted prize of all factions, sparking yet another world conflict! War, unfortunately, never changes! Here, you can customize the bodies, arms, legs, and weapons of your mecha to build a team of mecha suited to the needs of each battle, then pair them with elite pilots, each with their own unique personality and backstory. You can also customize the paintwork of your mecha and weapons down to the smallest detail, with over 120 free default colors available! Of course, in these conflicts, there is a group of mercenaries whose goal is to survive!  The single-part destruction battle system allows you to assemble your mecha however you like, equip a wide selection of weapons, and choose your favorite pilots to engage in battle. When any part of a mecha is destroyed, its effectiveness in battle is significantly reduced. By targeting the enemy's most critical parts, you can gain a clear strategic advantage. The hit points of different mecha parts are calculated separately in battle, allowing for the destruction of individual parts. This feature opens the door to a world of infinite strategic possibilities. Destroying the torso, the part with the highest hit points, directly neutralizes the target, while breaking the arms or legs compromises weapons and mobility. Every choice must be carefully considered in advance, based on the current situation on the battlefield.

Final Fantasy X. I first played it on PS2 back in the day and absolutely fell in love with it. I've played through it numerous times, and have owned it on every platform it's ever been released on. It's one game I'll never get tired of, and will probably still be playing another 20 years from now. The story, the characters, the battle system, everything is amazing. And of course, who doesn't love some Blitzball? If you love JRPGs and haven't played FFX yet, get out from under that rock you've been living under, and play it!

Ugly | Android

It is a 2D puzzle platformer with "mirror mechanics", with the protagonist having the ability to create a dark reflection of himself, splitting the screen in two, with which he can swap places and solve puzzles and make his way through this evil place full of secrets and flooded with tragedy. His main ability is to exploit the shadow reflected by a shard of a mirror and move it to solve puzzles. It will take logic and skill to survive this dangerous journey of self-reflection. It is basically a dark and twisted fairy tale that explores the desolate recesses of the tormented mind, darkened by the past that spills into the present! The protagonist of this aberrant story is the one who as a child was bullied because he was different due to his aesthetic appearance. Despite his noble title he often wakes up in the middle of the night tormented by events of the past, in which his figure was quite "unwelcome" to most due to his slightly strange and ugly face!  To overcome this childhood trauma he often ends up getting drunk with an impressive amount of alcohol. He constantly relives, through various flashbacks, unpleasant moments from his past and to extricate himself from the dark meshes of what happened after his conception, because of a face that did not fit the one chosen by society, which wants us all beautiful and handsome, his narcissistic wound will have the flavor of social redemption, although everything that afflicts them is impossible to erase. Meanwhile in his desolate and immense palace there are several doors that allow you to unlock new portions of the map, thanks to drawings from the past that he will have to collect and... after obtaining one of the many children's illustrations, he will offer a portion of a specific moment in which he experienced discomfort; in this way it is possible to unravel the plot, assembling them all to better understand what pushed him to distance himself from society. At the end of each chapter there are boss fights that we will have to face with the ability of reflection!  Some bosses stand out for their mechanics and aesthetics, others for their genius and peculiar characteristics! Solving certain intricate puzzles through logic is really fun, especially when you sharpen your skills and start getting serious (after about an hour). It is truly surprising how the Spanish development team managed to tell a story without using dialogues or voices, especially when the protagonist tries with all his strength to juggle reality, believing he is inside a mirror and sees his own reflection with a wrinkled and sad face. The title itself advises us at the beginning of the game to take breaks between the various chapters, so as to better assimilate the plot and not be shocked by so much crudeness in telling existential facts; it is fun but also cruel in telling a paradoxical and unique story. The mirror often reveals everything, but be careful... sometimes, the truth is hard to digest.

Valiant Force 2 - A FAN SERVICE Filled Art Style Gacha Game that is LOADS OF FUN

Valiant Force 2 is a recently released anime gacha game that I found myself playing for quite some time and for the most part it was fairly enjoyable. The story part of the game has a lot of cinematics and conversational cut scenes, but while the early cut scenes did have voice acting, once you progressed further into the game, the voice acting was removed and you were left reading the story. I personally am not a fan of these sorts of situations, I'd much rather they stick with the voice acting if they are going to start off with it.

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.

Some people just aren't suited to playing the part of the flashy, in-your-face hero or the dastardly, mustache-twirling villain with larger-than-life panache. Instead, they operate in the shadows and pull the strings of society through wit and cleverness. In this case,  That's the role Cid wants to play when he's transported to another world. Cid spins a yarn or three and becomes the unlikely leader of the underground Shadow Garden organization that fights against a menacing cult (which he totally made up). However, there's a catch even his wild imagination didn't see coming: the cult he concocted actually exists, and they're beyond displeased that his power fantasy just got in the way of their  evil plan.

And also when you will be playing missions related to zombies, zombies really become aggressive and run towards you faster than usually.
