Friendly neighbourhood reviewer that thinks every RPG should be discussed, because one never knows where a hidden gem can appear.

Adventure Corner ~ Ever 17: The Out of Infinity

Adventure Corner ~ Ever 17: The Out of Infinity

Leaning more heavily into the science fiction side of things over romance there’s a wonderfully complex story to unravel with the second installment in the Infinity Series, Ever 17: The Out of Infinity. This adaptation of the 2011 remake by MAGES. Inc. brings this version to worldwide audiences for the first time.

Cozy up to the fire with the latest video content from RPGamer. Among the latest offerings is a demo impression for The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy- and reviews for Fantasian Neo Dimension, Rift of the Necrodancer, Keep Driving, and The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak II.

Rift of the NecroDancer Review

Rift of the NecroDancer Review

A catchy soundtrack is a must for any rhythm game. Making moving monsters march to the beat gives Brace Yourself Games’ Rift of the NecroDancer a chance at something truly enjoyable.

Fantasian Neo Dimension Review

Fantasian Neo Dimension Review

Hironobu Sakaguchi and Nobuo Uematsu team up again for Fantasian Neo Dimension, which has a lot to live up to. A lot of gameplay mechanics and varied bosses come at the player, but how well does this comeback fight turn out?

Ring in the new year with the latest video reviews from RPGamer. Among the latest offerings are reviews for Ys X: Nordics, Metal Slug Tactics, Bloomtown: A Different Story, VED, and Breath of Death VII: The Beginning: Reanimated.

VED Review

VED Review

After scoring heavy style points with a wonderful hand-drawn art style the question is asked. Does Karaclan’s visual novel and turn-based RPG hybrid VED have enough story and combat kudos to stand highly among other indie titles?

Metal Slug Tactics Review

Metal Slug Tactics Review

There’s always something commendable about trying something new with a beloved franchise. Leikir Studio’s Metal Slug Tactics provides a wonderfully fresh take on tactical RPGs, but does a short roguelike gameplay loop outweigh the positives?

Ys X: Nordics Review

Ys X: Nordics Review

Adol’s back at the helm again. This time the protagonist of Ys finds himself adventuring with a delightful cast of characters and brisk pacing that make Ys X: Nordics a winner in this storied franchise.

Adventure Corner ~ Times & Galaxy

Adventure Corner ~ Times & Galaxy

Ever wanted to see a romanticized version of how journalism works? Copychaser Games’ Times & Galaxy combines colourful alien characters with low stakes in a sci-fi story about a robot interning at a newspaper.

Elemental Exiles Review

Elemental Exiles Review

Sometimes, there’s nothing more satisfying than a thoughtful and varied gameplay loop. However, can Final Game Studio’s Elemental Exiles overcome its presentation flaws to deliver an exciting roguelike deckbuilder?

SteamWorld Heist II Review

SteamWorld Heist II Review

There’s always something enjoyable about a wonderful swashbuckling adventure. Can Thunderful Games’ SteamWorld Heist II stand up to the deepest ocean depths or does it crash against the reef?

Fate Seeker II Review

Fate Seeker II Review

Does anyone miss the confused translation era of the 90s? Not this gamer, and reliving it in 2024 through isometric detective action RPG Fate Seeker II has been a rough journey.
