Criminal Girls 2 Review
Dungeon crawls and squishy balls, these are two parts of Criminal Girls 2. However, guess which one is the more entertaining bit.

World of Final Fantasy Review
This Square Enix/Tose collect-a-thon hopes to profit off its nostalgia-fueled setting and characters. But does this chocobo have a decent amount of pep in its step? Or is its appeal just skin-deep, all flashy chibis and phoenix pinions?
Masquerada: Songs and Shadows Review
Seething shadows breathing lies. You can fool any friend who ever knew you. Leering satyrs, peering eyes. Run and hide, but a face will still pursue you.
Stranger of Sword City Review
A small army of first person dungeon crawlers has emerged in recent years, many of them trying to emulate the feel of something from thirty years ago. This one succeeds in its aim of feeling like something from the previous century, though that may not be a good thing.
Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past Review
Once upon a time playing the seventh Dragon Quest required a PlayStation, plus a lot of spare time. Now that the game’s 3DS remake is available outside Japan, at least one of those requirements has been removed. Wholesale slime destruction will result.
Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters: Daybreak Special Gigs Review
One of last year’s more original titles returns with a few new additions. RPGamer check out whether the updates puts the Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters in better stead.
Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate Review
The Shiren series makes its return to the west on the Vita. Find out if it was worth the wait with this review which was, sadly, not randomly generated.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Review
Action!Jensen didn’t ask for a sequel. He also didn’t ask to be a basketball star/super agent/whiskey lover. What he did ask for was that fangirls back off and take a number.
Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse Review
Selling your soul to a demon is hard work, especially when that demon thinks humanity is filled with idiots. We all know which almighty demon should be sided with: King Frost for president!
I Am Setsuna Review
Coming off the E3 show floor, amid all the flashy bits and games vying for presence, a little RPG from Square Enix’s Tokyo RPG Factory commanded a lot of attention. Now, on the other side of the twenty-or-so-hour game, it seems as though those cursory comparisons were a bit misleading over the long haul.
Dungeon Punks Review
Melding a brawler with an RPG has been done before, but this one offers something different. Beating up unicorns and fighting from their backs is not a common occurrence, after all. Stop hitting me when I can’t fight back!
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II Vita Review
Cold Steel II arrives today, so if you haven’t finished the first game yet you’d better get on that. Once you’re done, you can read up on the sequel right here.
Hand of Fate Review
Deck-building games don’t usually have action RPG elements. You have to hand it to Defiant Development for knuckling down and trying something new.
God Eater Resurrection Review
2016 sees a double dose of God Eater hit North America and Europe. It’s a good time to get either introduced to and reacquainted with the series.
Shadowrun Returns Retroview
What began as a pen-and-paper tabletop RPG found, with the help of a successful Kickstarter campaign, a new lease on life in 2012. Shadowrun Returns, a turn-based tactical RPG, is a return to form that put the franchise back on the current RPG map.
Dengeki Gakuen RPG: Cross of Venus Import Review
In the past, there have been games which aspire to literature, but perhaps none so literally as this one. How does it do? Well, as it is usually said, “The book was better…”
Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force Review
It may have appeared once on last-gen systems, but this new version of Compile Heart’s RPG sports a few new tricks. Are they enough to make it a worthwhile purchase?
The Technomancer Review
French developer Spiders returns to Mars with its latest title, The Technomancer. Players will need to navigate internal discord as they attempt to put the red planet back in contact with Earth.
Grand Kingdom Review
Since the land being fought over in this game was once an empire instead of a kingdom, one could argue that its title is inaccurate. Though even if it was a republic or a theocracy, the quality of its tactical action wouldn’t change. Time to put things down!
Fire Emblem Fates – Revelation Review
When made to choose between loyalty and lineage, sometimes the best option is to run away, forge a new path, and convince others to join. Either that, or choose to participate in the newest Super Smash Bros. You’d think I’d be sick of hearing “you are the ocean’s grey waves” after all this time, but you’d be wrong.
