A cute action RPG / Platformer that harkenes back to the PS1/N64 era, Gurumin is a fun adventure with charming characters that doesn't overstay its welcome.

A straightforward dungeon crawler that may captivate those who can't get enough of the genre, but is a little too streamlined to be interesting.

A solid dungeon crawler with fantastic art and music, but a few poorly implemented ideas prevent it from being a truly great experience. The PC port is simple but performs well enough for the genre, and the addition portrait uploads is a fun bonus.

This visual novel / dungeon crawler hybrid does a number of interesting things with its characters and gameplay, but falls short of excellence due to a poor conclusion and lack of challenge.

A solid follow up for the strategy RPG spinoff of the Shin Megami Tensei series

While mechanically sound, too many conveniences make Etrian Mystery Dungeon more mundane than it needs to be

JRPG fans shouldn't overlook this PlayStation Vita original

The most daring entry in the franchise is better than ever
