Brings what grabs you about Mother 3: turn-based combat, a party of several characters and a strong story.

Toby Fox's follow-up to Undertale mixes menu-based party battles with bullet-hell dodging, and enemies can be spared instead of fought. A charming, funny cast, a standout soundtrack and an unsettling meta-mystery sit beneath its colorful surface.

YIIK: A Postmodern RPG

Turn-based combat

A colorful 3D JRPG mystery set in the 1990s, where Alex and a band of oddball friends hunt for a missing woman and uncover supernatural secrets. Combat is turn-based with timing-based inputs, and the story is unconventional yet divisive.

South Park: The Stick of Truth

Lots of humour

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.

Saturday Morning RPG

Lots of humour

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.

Knuckle Sandwich

Lots of humour

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.

Breath of Fire IV

Turn-based combat

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.
