  • Turn-based combat
  • Lots of humour
  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Born of Bread

Turn-based combat

A charming, quirky RPG-platformer where you play a flour golem teaming up with a colorful crew to explore a whimsical world. Turn-based combat is spiced up with timing elements, and humor is front and center.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership

Turn-based combat

Mario and Luigi sail an island-ship across a fractured ocean world, fighting turn-based battles where precise timed inputs and flashy Bros. Attacks make the difference. It's all wrapped in slapstick humor and a vibrant cel-shaded style.

South Park: The Stick of Truth

Distinctive, stylised art style

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.

Small Saga

Turn-based combat

A turn-based RPG set in a medieval rodent society beneath London, where an angry mouse and his companions hunt for his stolen tail. Its storybook-like art, wry humor and timing-based combat give it a distinct charm.

Escape from Ever After

Turn-based combat

Knuckle Sandwich

Distinctive, stylised art style

A quirky indie RPG in the vein of EarthBound: as a newcomer in a strange city you work at a diner, get tangled in a missing persons case, and fight in turn-based battles built around quick minigames. Absurd humor and lots of charm define it.

Evoland 2

Strong, story-driven narrative

Evoland 2 is a humorous time-travel romp through gaming history, constantly shifting its art style and mechanics, from retro adventure to platforming, card battles and turn-based fights. Its time-travel story ties the many genre changes together.

Get in the Car, Loser!

Strong, story-driven narrative
