A self-contained plot that's more of the same.

A solid introduction to a world that may no longer bed dead, but suffers from overstuffed quest design and mashy combat.

A great looking '2DX' pixel art roguelike, though it feels a little thin.

A unique take on tactical RPGs with an interesting blend of roguelike mechanics. However, not everything comes together well.

This sixth entry into the Paper Mario series is not an RPG, and although some issues linger, it's the best adventure game entry yet.

A simple but solid roguelike, mixed with Tamagotchi systems.

The unique time manipulating tactics make this game an interesting strategy game, but also a somewhat tedious one.

An average dungeon crawler that doesn't stand out.

A fine port of a mediocre game. it's great Star Ocean: First Departure is on more platforms, but the game itself doesn't excel.

A wonderfully written dialogue RPG that defies the preconception of what RPGs can be.

This sequel improves upon the original in a few ways but misses the mark elsewhere.
review by Adam Vitale on 23 September, 2019

A very ambitious game with thorough lore and interesting characters, although it won't often challenge you if you are familiar with strategy RPGs.

A solid and charming dungeon crawler dedicated to Persona fanservice.

A solid but basic Mystery Dungeon spinoff of the Final Fantasy series.

A solid but straightforward indie dungeon crawler.

A fine finale for the series on 3DS, even if it looks backward more than forward.

Much like the SuperStar Saga remake, this game is a fine revisit to a great game, but doesn't feel necessary.
review by Adam Vitale on 20 January, 2019

Although it doesn't quite all come together, this RPG has some robust mechanics and combat that set it apart.
review by Adam Vitale on 02 December, 2018

While the combination of tank and foot combat offers some interesting wrinkles, it can't hold up an otherwise bland skeleton of a game.
review by Adam Vitale on 20 September, 2018

This dungeon crawler takes heavy influence from Shin Megami Tensei but mostly feels like a poor imitation.
review by Adam Vitale on 21 June, 2018

A little more approachable but still a fantastic dungeon crawling experience.

Cattle Call tries to make improvements on their previous RPG outing, but not to great effect.
review by Adam Vitale on 26 March, 2018

This ambitious title from a new developer impresses, but technical issues hold it up considerably.
review by Adam Vitale on 16 March, 2018

While the new story content is largely superfluous, several quality-of-life enhancements work to make a remarkable game even better
review by Adam Vitale on 05 February, 2018

It's great that English players can finally get their hands on this game, but it's hard to say it is anything special or interesting.
