A comedic turn-based indie RPG built around a deadly battle of the bands, where music is your weapon. It leans on heavy-metal parody, a strong soundtrack and party-based combat.

Saturday Morning RPG

Turn-based combat

A comedic love letter to 1980s cartoons and pop culture: you play high schooler Marty and fight through an episodic story in turn-based battles with timing-based actions. It features pixel art and a retro synth-style soundtrack.

Megadimension Neptunia VII

Turn-based combat

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.

Terrain of Magical Expertise

Turn-based combat

A comedic turn-based RPG about a turn-based RPG: as the mysterious White-Hat Hacker you help fellow players beat a gang of cheaters. It parodies RPG tropes and is based on Chris Niosi's web series.

Breath of Fire IV

Strong, story-driven narrative

A classic PlayStation JRPG with a hand-drawn look, following Ryu and Princess Nina through an emotional tale of war and dragon powers. Turn-based combat with dragon transformations and a master-apprentice skill system give it its own character.

Hylics 2

Turn-based combat

A surreal indie RPG with a handmade clay-and-collage look, where Wayne and his crew fight in turn-based battles and use a dodge-roll and air-dash to find hidden secrets. Its absurd humor and strange soundtrack make it unmistakable.
