Roleplaying games, everything from classic CRPGs to modern stuff
How about some 16-bit Mega Drive (Genesis in US) D&D? Dungeons & Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun might not be a masterpiece, but it sure has charm! It was a very fascinating experience playing it, because I had no idea they even made D&D RPGs for the Mega Drive, and above all, not the blobber kind, with top-down turn-based combat and exploration (think Ultima 6).

Finally, we have a release date for Cyber Knights: Flashpoint – May the 15th! So, pretty soon! I pinned it as a release for 2024, boy, was I wrong in that assessment. But I’m glad that it finally releases, because I have been looking forward to it a lot! It seems to take plenty of inspiration from X-com, which makes my heart jump with joy. It’s made by Trese Brothers, so deep tactical gameplay, with satisfying progression is basically guaranteed. I did an interview with them a while back, and if you are interested, you can read it here. For the announcement trailer, check the video below:

Hello and welcome to my personal list of favorite party-based RPGs. This list consists of games I have played and enjoyed. If games that fit the criteria are missing, it’s because I haven’t played them yet, or I disliked them. It’s that simple!

I’m not the biggest Iron Tower fan, seeing as their games (at least to me), are more of a CYOA (Choose Your Own Adventure) experience than a free-form RPG. But, it can’t be denied that they are hits within the cRPG community. Colony Ship and The Age of Decadence weren’t too liked by me, yet, it shows that they know their craft and have a specific style and tone they follow, regardless of my lack of appreciation. However, while successful, it seems the games didn’t bring in enough money, and for anyone that followed the drama after Colony Ship‘s release knows that the future looked grim for the studio. Then, the other day, right out of the blue, they announced they are working on a fresh new game, and it certainly has me curious!

It was a sad day when the legendary developer Piranha Bytes was shut down. But seeing as they floundered the Elex 2 release, it might not have been too unexpected. However, out of the ashes, something new can rise, and it wasn’t long before Jenny and Björn Pankratz announced their new study Pithead Studio. And the other day, they released their first video from their new upcoming dungeon crawler, Cralon. These guys work hard & fast, as I thought we were years out, but here we are! Check out the video below:
