Adam Vitale's Reviews
Although it doesn't quite all come together, this RPG has some robust mechanics and comber that set it apart.
Cattle Call tries to make improvements on their previous RPG outing, but not to great effect.
Streamlining facets of the original Demon Gaze lead its sequel to be a little less frustrating but a little more bland.
A simply yet comfortable action RPG that offers a lot of charm
A strange but respectable SPRG experience but doesn't stand out from the crowd.
Ys Seven is not a bad game but it misses the highs of what makes the Ys series great.
A big improvement over Episode Gladiolus, Episode Prompto is a decent addition for fans.
Another solid entry into the dungeon crawler genre, but one that doesn't stand out from the rest.
All-in-all, Operation Abyss' PC port is nothing fancy, but it doesn't need to be. It's a solid an functional port that gets the job done with a couple odd quirks.
Another Disgaea makes its way to PC, and it's a solid SPRG - if you don't mind flat characters and a boring storyline.
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 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.
While mechanically sound, too many conveniences make Etrian Mystery Dungeon more mundane than it needs to be
This ambitious title from a new developer impresses, but technical issues hold it up considerably.
While there is room to improve and some blemishes throughout, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes has excellent presentation & nostalgic charm, and I cannot overstate enough how glad I am that it exists.
While Wandering Sword may appear to be an imitation at first glance, this entertaining Wuxia-style adventure is one of the most unique RPGs I've ever played, despite stumbles in localization and polish.
The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails invokes a feeling of an earlier era of Falcom in some of the best ways. With a charming presentation and commendable gameplay, this is a satisfying game and an easy recommendation to anyone looking for a light-hearted action RPG romp.
Jagged Alliance 3 is an excellent game, merging squad-based tactics and classic computer-style roleplaying in an entertaining veneer of cheesy action movies.
Etrian Odyssey is a great dungeon RPG series, and its transition to PC & Switch is an admirable one, but some interface oddities and a hefty pricepoint raise eyebrows.
Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society is an admirable follow-up to Labyrinth of Refrain, with polished gameplay systems, an intriguing storyline, and a lengthy runtime.
