Adam Vitale's Reviews
Another Disgaea makes its way to PC, and it's a solid SPRG - if you don't mind flat characters and a boring storyline.
New characters and gameplay enhancements make a great game even better.
More than ten years after its original Japanese release, Xanadu Next is compact and addictive action RPG that was easily worth the wait.
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.
While there are a few hiccups along the way, Dragon Quest VII is a well-crafted classic JRPG.
An exceptional roguelike with a great artstyle and synergy between gameplay systems, Shiren the Wanderer stands tall among its peers.
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 HD make-over and Hero Mode make a great game even better.
While it may stick too close to the formula, this 5th entry improves upon its predecessor.
This localized release has been an incredible labour of love, but it feels like it was all worthwhile - this is a modern classic in waiting.
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
The most daring entry in the franchise is better than ever
A remarkable blend of ideas makes this spinoff stand on its own
An entry that takes a few steps backwards
An interesting take on Strategy RPGs that never reaches its potential.
An appealing skill system highlights this gorgeous game
A cold experience
