RPG Fan's Reviews
A turn-based RPG fans will enjoy, though League fans will love.
Even at almost twenty years old, the classic Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is an excellent RPG port for the Switch.
Loop Hero will put you in a spin—but it's the kind you won't be able to stop going round and around in.
Monster Rancher 1 & 2 DX modernizes these classic games’ gameplay and makes them more accessible and enticing than they’ve ever been before! Lovers of Pokémon or other monster-collecting games would be remiss to skip this collection.
Dungeon Encounters is a thought-provoking experiment directed by a titan of game development and its minimalist presentation allows the player to stare straight into the face of the craft of game design. While not for everyone, anyone with a shred of interest owes it to themself to check this game out.
Arcadia Fallen is an enjoyable and ultimately satisfying VN for those looking for a choice-heavy narrative.
Though this latest port doesn’t add much in the way of new features, Danganronpa 2 remains a must-play visual novel and a superb follow-up to the original.
I’m not going to lie; I LOVE everything about this game. In fact, the only thing I wish is that I was able to get out of the ship and walk around as Nara. Much like the Galaxy on Fire series all conversations happen in ship, unless it’s a cutscene. But even that is not really worth counting as a strike against the game because literally everything else is such a smooth experience. While the story can get a bit confusing, if players are fans of breakneck speeds, and thrilling dogfights in space then Chorus is going to be right up your alley. I cannot wait to see what Deep Silver Fishlabs can do with a sequel to this game or even some DLC, with the world that has been created here it really would be a shame to let it go to waste.
Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl are extremely faithful remakes that provide a great entry point to the Sinnoh region for new players and a trip down memory lane for established fans, but a lack of new features or content will leave some players wanting more.
As a lite beach bash, Danganronpa S will amuse hardcore fans, but it's really just a grindy gacha in disguise with little reward other than a few laughs.
Pokémon UNITE is a promising entry in the MOBA genre with the potential to be great given continued care from the developers.
Despite its enticing visual style and standout soundtrack, Voice of Cards doesn’t rival Yoko Taro’s past works and is unlikely to charm RPG veterans.
While held back by inconsistent and poor graphics, the Switch port of Ys IX: Monstrum Nox is still an overall solid action RPG for the console.
Final Fantasy V truly is the definition of a fiesta—a feast, a celebration, and a whole lot of fun.
The Caligula Effect 2 is a dramatic improvement over its predecessor in every single way and punches well above its weight.
Despite the change in perspective, this is a worthy entry in the Darksiders series, though not without its pitfalls.
The Castlevania Advance Collection offers fantastic value with three excellent Metroidvania games (and one heck of a challenging side scroller).
A fantastic game overall and one of Gust's best games to date.
Alchemic Cutie is an adept of adorableness that's in need of an elixir to smooth out the bugs, improve tutorials, and make it that bit more manageable and engaging.
Cupid Parasite is a lighthearted and thoroughly enjoyable otome VN for romantic comedy fans.
