Our analysis
A sensational retro-inspired JRPG that executes its vision near flawlessly, with a thrillingly well-written narrative, strong party bonds, and combat made engaging through timed inputs, lock-canceling, and a shared-leveling system that keeps every character battle-ready. Gorgeous pixel art with dynamic lighting, an excellent soundtrack, and clever extras like the Wheels minigame round it out; only some awkward, errand-heavy pacing holds it back. An instant classic for old-school RPG fans.
Our analysis
Masterfully crafted classic RPG homage with gorgeous visuals and engaging combat.
Our analysis
A brilliant JRPG from Sabotage Studio that fuses nostalgic pixel-art charm with modern design, anchored by a warm story and the bond between its three central friends. Combat is a standout, blending timed-action inputs, damage-type targeting and combo attacks, backed by gorgeous visuals and a Mitsuda-infused soundtrack. The main gripes are the lack of any map or quest log and an overly simplistic leveling system.
Our analysis
Strongly recommends Sea of Stars for its skill-based combat, varied environments, excellent music, and tight pacing. The ending feels somewhat rushed and anticlimactic, and the leads are less engaging than Garl.
Our analysis
An excellent RPG that refines the genre by drawing from classics and improving every aspect. The combat is engaging, characters are charming, and the presentation is incredible.
