SEA OF STARS - has left me speechless!

Come back in time to a time when game developers had to use creative tactics to create memorable moments due to the limited space they had to work with? You may not have a retro console, or you may have one, but the games are pricey. Whatever the reason, it is apparent that video games are no longer being produced to the same level as they once were, particularly by major brands. If they are, it's all taken from their previous successes and rebranded new with some paint.

Crhunchyroll: Pepper Grinder | Android

It's a fast-paced action-platformer developed by Ahr Ech and published by Devolver Digital. It's a high-speed 2D action-platformer where the centerpiece of the experience is... a "Grinder" drill—and it's not just a weapon, but a true multi-purpose tool! The protagonist is Pepper, a young and determined treasure hunter who is shipwrecked on a mysterious island after losing all her loot. On the island, a band of bizarre enemies called Narlings steals what remains, including her precious mechanical drill called the "Grinder." Determined to get back what's hers, Pepper manages to recover the Grinder and begins her adventure through increasingly varied and dangerous environments. From sandy beaches to underground caves, industrial structures, and surreal landscapes, Pepper faces hordes of enemies and gigantic bosses, each with unique mechanics. The narrative is simple but effective: there are no long dialogues, but rather a story told through fluid animations and dynamic cutscenes.  Pepper's journey is a constant race for revenge, in a colorful yet hostile world, where each level represents a new step towards the final showdown. The drill allows Pepper to dig into the ground and "swim" underground, launch himself into the air at high speed, attach himself to mechanisms and activate platforms, and create incredibly fluid movement combos. The control system is surprisingly responsive, especially on high-performance devices. The gameplay is based on rhythm and precision: the more you master the drill, the more spectacular the experience becomes. The enemies are varied and well-characterized. Some require timing, others strategy. The boss fights are one of the game's highlights: dynamic, intense, and often divided into multiple phases, the levels are full of secrets, alternative routes, and collectibles. In short, it encourages replayability thanks to timed challenges, hidden object collection, and routes optimized for speedrunning. Its detailed pixel art style and fluid animations make the title visually captivating. The music is energetic and perfectly complements the frenetic action.  It's not a casual game: it requires precision, reflexes, and a little practice, but it's incredibly rewarding.

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.

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.

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.

How do you make dungeon-crawling even better? How about making it adorable?

SHOULD I PLAY SILENT HOPE? Definitely give this one a chance if you’re looking for a surprisingly relaxing, grindy dungeon-crawler, but maybe skip it if you mainly go to RPGs for the story. Silent Hope goes back to the absolute basics of the Japanese RPG formula, with a crew of seven mute heroes, each representing a different class, journeying into a multi-level abyss to save a fallen kingdom. By sticking to the fundamentals, the game is able to focus on making the characters and world charming as hell and the core gameplay streamlined and solid.
