Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth plays like a more plot-intensive Etrian Odyssey, even moreso than The Millennium Girl, and delivers exactly what fans of that series have come to expect. While not the best title in the 3DS RPG library, it’s nevertheless quite good.
It takes an intrepid group of explorers to delve deep into an unexplored labyrinth, especially when they have to haul away freshly severed creature parts to craft better gear. The cast of this game might look young, but clearly has had great practice stifling the gag reflex. Fresh body parts for your backpack, yay!
Struggling to find good party members? Why not create your own? At least you won’t be waiting years for these progeny to be ready.
When attempting to conquer a continent, having strong soldiers is a must. How the commanders of this game ever got Rocs, Gigantes, Tritons, and Pegasi to be their unquestioning cannon fodder is a story that deserves to be told someday.
My poor mandrake!
The addition of a 1,000 year old mystery girl isn’t the only change to this overhaul of the original Etrian Odyssey. The untold number of new mechanics and the improved labyrinth exploration make this much more than your average remake.
Feeling Uninspired after a Nocturne In the idyllic medieval kingdom of Mikado, pristine lakes, lush pastures, and tranquil forests surround a castle town where peasants...
Dragon’s Crown doesn’t believe in physics or biology, but that doesn’t make it any less fun. Find out what to expect from Vanillaware’s brawler/RPG hybrid in RPGamer’s official review.
Bloodthirsty bears bashing in logs, freaky feathered floaters roaming the air, terrible turtles twisting on the ice, and killer kangaroos kvetching about intrusions into their space. Etrian Odyssey FOEs sure are a grumpy bunch. Go away, you dumb sheep, I’m trying to collect vegetables!
There’s more truth to be had in Atlus’s revamp of a PlayStation 2 classic. Fans and newcomers alike will definitely want to visit Inaba this winter.
Certain questions regarding Princess Solange’s attire will spring to mind, not least how she can move around in anything less than incredibly hot climates. Somehow her ability to swing a sword that weighs more than she does is not impaired, though.
Also, why isn’t she tanned yet?
After a somber reminder of PSP games that may never be heading west, it’s worth keeping in mind that others have made the trip over. RPGamer takes a look at Atlus’ latest arrival on the handheld.
While a Lannister always pays his debts, we’re pretty sure the amount of effort HBO put into this game didn’t do the franchise justice. See how we roar in this overdue review.
In the newest entry from Sting’s Department of Heaven series, a young man marked with Stigmata uses a divine spear to fight the intolerance of an evil empire. It’s not as allegorical as it sounds.
Yes, Stigmata is supposed to be capitalized.

There was once a wonderful time, long ago, when a console had so many RPG titles that one couldn’t keep track of them all. So many games both good and bad fell through the cracks. So which one is this?
Sad that farmers, hoplites, and gladiators are underrepresented in RPGs? Put away the graph paper and drown your sorrows with the newest old-school RPG from Atlus. Feel free to enjoy the better pacing and complimentary art book while you’re at it.
Here’s another take on Persona 3 Portable. Does it still hold the appeal of the original when draped in feminine clothing?
Due to the overwhelming awesomeness of one Junpei Iori, Atlus has recently started selling replicas of his hat. What’s more, as a bonus, they’ve packaged in a free copy of Persona 3 Portable. While RPGamer doesn’t normally review novelty bonuses like this, we couldn’t resist.
This is a game that didn’t know if it wanted to be Pokemon or Shin Megami Tensei, and it’s a game with an identity crisis. Fact is, even if it were attempting to not be either of those things, it’s still not a well put together game by any means.
