Grimm's Hollow

Turn-based combat

A free pixel-art RPG in which you travel through the afterlife with a scythe to find your brother. Its mix of spooky settings, humor and an emotional story gives it charm.

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona

Pure single-player experience

In Persona you uncover a philosophical mystery about dreams, purpose and identity set in a modern world, where you can talk demons down instead of always fighting them. Negotiation rather than brute force gives the turn-based battles a distinctive twist.

Cosmic Star Heroine

South Park: The Stick of Truth

Turn-based combat

A turn-based RPG that looks exactly like a playable South Park episode: as the new kid in town you join Cartman and friends in a backyard fantasy war that spirals wildly out of control. Timed attack inputs and crude, irreverent humor define the experience.

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.
