Dragalia Lost is the least innovative title among Nintendo's mobile game offerings, and this is coming from the folks who did Super Mario Run and Fire Emblem Heroes. It’s basically White Cat Project but with a new skin and that Nintendo touch. For those not in tune with the mobile gaming scene, White Cat Project is a 2014 action RPG for iOS...

According to analyst firm Sensor Tower (via Variety), the mobile game has grossed US$3.5 million or so since its launch on 27th September worldwide. The game was officially released in the United States, Japan, Ho...
2018 marks the 30th anniversary of the long-running Dragon Quest franchise. That's why series creator Yuji Horii and the folks at Square Enix decided to develop Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age in order to celebrate the milestone. After playing the game for almost 107 hours and ultimately obtaining the Platinum trophy, I believe that t...
Platform: Nintendo Switch Genre: JRPG, Anime Last year's Xenoblade Chronicles 2 came out on the tail end of 2017 and ended up becoming quite a gem of a JRPG. It's kinda old-school but has a lot of nuances to make the 100+ hour slog bearable, it gets better after the 20-hour mark, its combat system is fun, and its heroes & villains are endearin...
You know what the world needs? A Wild Arms revival on the PS4. Too bad we're only getting half of that wish coming true: Wild Arms: Million Memories will be out for iOS and Android phones in Japan later on 26th September. What's the game about? It's an action RPG that is set in a Wild Arms multiverse type scenario, featuring the leads from all the...
Grandia series fans, this one's for you. GameArts' RPG opus -that isn't the Lunar series- will be getting a remaster for the PC and Nintendo Switch. These games were fun because of their real-time-slash-turn-based approach to combat and its colourful-if-cliched storyline with a rotating cast. According to a Game Informer report, we now have full d...
Everybody loves treasure and loot, especially if you're in a strange-yet-familiar fantasy land where you and your merry band of adventurers are searching for echoes in an elusive age. Okay, you don't literally do that in Square Enix's Dragon Quest XI, but you do level up and fight turn-based style with a motley crew of knights, spellcasters, and he...
If you recall the Disgaea series, that crazy turn-based strategy RPG from developer Nippon Ichi, you can stack your teammates atop each other to form a devastating killing machine. Feeling like they can top that idea, the devs announced a new 2D action JRPG that makes this mechanic its sole focus. The new game is called Lapis Labyrinth (or Lapis R...
Platform: Nintendo Switch Genre: JRPG, Throwback To The 90s If you've been playing a buttload of JRPGs in the early and late 90s, chances are you've seen someone at the Kota Raya or old-school Yaohan side game stores pull out those Japanese SNES cartridges or PS1 CD and playing through an obscure Squaresoft title. They looked like an FF game -fro...
This review is from our pals at The Last King Podcast. Platform: Nintendo 3DS Genre: JRPG It's close to the middle of 2018, and there really isn't a major JRPG release that wowed and challenged me since Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Yes, there was Ni no Kuni 2 which we reviewed a while back, but it isn't as gripping and as challenging as I thought...

We're in a crazy age where Twitch.tv streamers determine whether a game is worthy of being played by the masses, as well as determine what you should be entertained with. Yes, we know guys like Dr. Disrespect and Ninja are living it up with their streams of Fortnite. We know of the phenomenal streaming powers like PewDiePie and Markiplier. But wha...
While most of us remember the Final Fantasy series as the de facto JRPG juggernaut, we should keep in mind that the Dragon Quest series is also up there in terms of recognition and size. Probably not in Southeast Asia and other English-speaking countries (before part IX came out for Nintendo's handheld), but it still holds a place in many people's ...
This story has been updated with new info about the upcoming iOS/Android version of Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth. Goddammit... Alright, so the Secret Of Mana remake may be a heaping garbage fire when compared to the original, but its heart was in the right place. I think. Square Enix, supposedly on a remastering bender, might be eyeing Valkyr...
It's official: Xenoblade Chronicles 2's entire OST will be published in album form this May 23.

eThe Secret of Mana for the SNES was a 90s first: first multiplayer action RPG on the SNES, first game to use a convenient ring system menu, and the first to have composer Hiroki Kikuta use the Bali kechak ritual chant for a boss fight. Point is, it's a revered entry in the Seiken Densetsu games and it's getting a remake around Chinese New Year w...
