Megadimension Neptunia VII

Lots of humour

A comedic JRPG packed with video game industry parodies, where you lead a party of console-goddess heroines across several dimensions, each with its own story. Turn-based combat with free movement and plenty of anime fan service make it most appealing to series fans.

AFK Journey

A colorful gacha hero-collecting RPG where you assemble a squad that fights in automated battles while you explore a storybook-like 3D world. The appeal lies in squad composition and constant incremental progression.

Honkai: Star Rail

Lavish presentation

A turn-based sci-fi gacha RPG where you travel from world to world aboard the Astral Express, building a team of many characters around elemental weaknesses and ultimates. Polished presentation, dialogue-heavy storytelling and a large roster of collectible characters define it.

Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten

Lots of humour

A comedic tactical RPG set in the Netherworld, where the vampire Valvatorez, a former tyrant, rebels against the government. Grid-based turn-based battles, absurd combos, and nearly endless leveling and min-maxing define the experience.

Arknights

Lavish presentation

A tower-defense strategy game where you recruit and train operators with distinct roles, then deploy them with careful placement and timing in tricky missions. It pairs a bleak dystopian story with a striking art style.
