Bravely Default II

Turn-based combat

A classic turn-based JRPG where a party of four uses the Brave and Default system to borrow or save up actions. The deep job system allows many combinations and rewards clever build crafting.

Touhou Artificial Dream in Arcadia

Strong character progression

An old-school dungeon crawler in the Touhou universe, drawing on Megami Tensei and Etrian Odyssey. Sumireko leads a party through labyrinths to resolve an incident she seems to be personally responsible for.

The Book of Legends

Turn-based combat

A classic indie RPG in the vein of early Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, with turn-based battles, a party, and lots of quests and secrets. It leans on nostalgic JRPG virtues rather than modern innovation.

Beloved Rapture

Turn-based combat

An indie JRPG inspired by the classics, featuring turn-based battles, hidden secrets and an intimate coming-of-age tale set against larger threats facing a troubled kingdom.

Pier Solar and the Great Architects

Turn-based combat

A classic 16-bit-style role-playing game in the spirit of the Mega Drive era: three friends set out to find herbs for a sick father and stumble into a larger mystery about ancient powers. It is a nostalgic homage to turn-based JRPGs.

Octopath Traveler

Turn-based combat

Eight travelers, each with their own story and path action, roam a fantasy world rendered in the striking HD-2D blend of pixel sprites and 3D dioramas. The Boost-and-Break system makes its turn-based battles surprisingly tactical.

Etrian Odyssey III HD

Strong character progression

A classic dungeon crawler where you assemble your own party from twelve classes and delve into the labyrinths of the drowned city of Armoroad, mapping as you go. Turn-based battles, class synergies and sea voyages create strategic depth, and the HD remaster adds difficulty options.

Breath of Fire III

Turn-based combat

A classic PlayStation JRPG following Ryu, last of the dragon clan, from childhood into adulthood. Standouts are the Dragon Gene system for combining transformations, the master-apprenticeship skill learning, and a charming, varied journey.
