Release is on-track for the 29th of August. Huzzah!
Because of games like this im leaning more and more toward indie games. We had so many good inde games in last few years. And i always buy games like this at full price because developer/s deserve.
this is a game from the same developer as The Messenger, I really like The Messenger, especially the humour, I just wish at least they bring that humour in Sea of Stars as well
The messenger was a fantastic game. This is completely different, but I’ll give it a try considered the developer.
Same! Messenger was just SO GOOD.
Nice! It looks like a modern take on a classic chrono-style RPG
Straiiiiight on the wishlist, although I hope it will release on GOG eventually 🤞
Apparently I had already added it to my wishlist. Thanks past me!
Did not know about this, but it looks great! Wishlisting it
I’ll be taking a look at this in Gamepass. Looks really nice.
Seeing it for the first time now. I need this.
First time I see this, looks great!
Hope it’s a good a place as any to ask this. I’ve got an itch for a jrpg in the classic style, but one with modern conveniences.
Never finished FFVI because I put it down and later didn’t know where I was nor was doing. Completed Golden Sun I and II, but only with the aid of walkthroughs. Tried a buch of others but don’t really remember them.
Definitely Chained Echoes. It has a lot of modern touches.
You get healed after every fight and so you actually get to use skills. You only level up after boss battles so the game is scaled properly and you dont need to grind. The overheat system is also a good mechanic to spice up turn-based battles.
I heavily recommend CrossCode. Hands-down one of my all time faves.
Chained Echoes was also published by Deck13 and is equally amazing. It’s turn-based, unlike CrossCode.
Well, what’s your question?
Oh, kind of missed that. Recommendations for a great modern JRPG in the classic style?
CrossCode - this isn’t a jrpg nor a classic style per ser but I’d say it’s heavily inspired by them. I’ve been playing it for a while and it really is a gem of a game. Check it out if it your thing.
Other modern games which are a jrpgs that I haven’t played but heard good things are Chained Echoes and Octopath Traveller. Those are akin to modern retro classic style jrpgs
I love seeing all the CrossCode recommendations, and on Lemmy of all places. Here I thought no one knew about it!
Easily my favorite game of all time. I don’t think it ever drops the ball, the combat is awesome, the story is incredible, and the characters are so well written that you’ll think they’re actually real people.
The biggest criticism is the game’s puzzles, but they aren’t really as bad as some (very impatient) people make them out to be, and there are options to decrease the difficulty of the puzzles.
Dude I had CrossCode on my steam wishlist for like 4 years or so and never thought much about it, until I watched a video. It basically said to no let games like this one die in obscurity when they deserve the attention and engagement AAA games receive. That video highly praised CrossCode, which got my attention.
So I bought it on last Steam sale and fuck, I wholeheartedly agree with that video. I just beat my first dungeon and got the fire element and it’s such a beautiful game - the characters being one of my favorite aspects. It’s painfully sad how severely underrated CrossCode is. It needs more praise so I’m doing my best to raise awareness of it lol.
Wouldn’t be surprised if this game becomes one of my favorites.
I played the demo of this during the last Steam demo week. I liked it!
The thumbnail made me go “Aww yiss, a new Warcraft 3 like RTS?”, but then I got disappointed when I opened up the store page.
That said, this looks good art wise.
Damn now I want a new Warcraft III 😭
