It's only been a mere two years since The Phantom Thieves of Hearts broke out into the spotlight in Persona 5. Since then, we've seen pseudo sequels get developed and released in Japan by way of Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Breakers , a full-length anime, and others. With a...
Spike Chunsoft’s line of roguelike RPGs are among some of my favorite diversions yet never seem to get much traction out here in the States. The Mystery Dungeon line of RPGs have been noticed with other recent releases, most notably the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon that our very own Nathan Birch...
Nioh 2
The first Nioh was a strange anomaly in the gaming world. This Team Ninja-developed samurai sim was in development for more than a decade across two PlayStation platforms before it finally graced the PlayStation 4 with William of London's adventures in feudal Japan. This delicate balance of swordplay and Dark...

MediaMolecule is such an interesting edge case in the gaming industry. When not making charming titles like Tearaway, they're building the foundation for creation tools and packing them up within the premise of an all-ages video game. We saw this time after time with the LittleBigPlanet series, although most creations...
It's been some time since I last sat down with an RPG by Compile Heart and played it through until the end. I gave Death End re;Quest about a dozen hours before I grew tired of their signature turn-based combat. When I heard that their latest game, Arc of Alchemist,...
Humanity's last hope doesn't lie on Earth but in the skies far beyond the atmosphere. Living aboard a floating spaceship are Syndey and Stanley, the pair of protagonists in EarthNight that hope to one day return to the planet. However, in order to do so, they'll have to pass through...
Sometime during the heyday of Square-Enix releasing their catalog of RPG’s on the PlayStation Portable came two Star Ocean titles. The duo, Star Ocean First Departure and Second Evolution, represented the first chance that many players would get to see the complete story of Ronyx J. Kenny and his son,...
The timing for the Disney Classic Games collection of Aladdin and The Lion King couldn't be farther from what I'd expect. Both newly released films have already run their theatrical releases but at least this release of classic platformers could be tied to that of the Blu-ray releases (The Lion...
MediEvil
When I grew up with the original PlayStation, I never could pick out who Sony’s mascot character was. Nintendo had the Mario brothers, SEGA had Sonic the Hedgehog, but what did Sony have? Among the same pantheon of Crash, Spyro and Parappa, I saw a toothless skeleton by the name...
The Ninja Warriors, a famous arcade title released decades before any sort of television game show hit the airwaves, dropped the year I was born and stunned arcade goers with its triple-screen presentation and linear (in a good way) gameplay. It wasn’t for another seven years before this title was...
Indivisible
Lauded as one of the few RPG”s to take inspiration from Valkyrie Profile’s intuitive battle system (Exist Archive being the only other that comes to mind), Indivisible was an RPG project that I’ve waited for years to finally play. As a notable Kickstarter success story, developer Lab Zero Games has...
Run and gun: a word whose etymology clearly begins with the Contra lineage some three decades ago. One-hit kills, twirling somersaulting jumps, and the all-powerful Spread Gun have remained constant throughout the Contra series even as the formula changes from 2D to 3D and back again. Players have had to...
