Brings what grabs you about Panzer Dragoon Saga: a post-apocalyptic setting, turn-based combat and a dark atmosphere.

An unconventional JRPG with no overworld: in a bleak underground world you plan movement and attacks with action points, while scarce resources and the D-Ratio system keep constant pressure on you.

Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga

Strong, story-driven narrative

A dark JRPG where a band of warriors transforms into demonic beasts and devours foes to gain their powers. Its turn-based combat rewards exploiting enemy weaknesses and offers plenty of tactical depth in a bleak, mythology-laced world.

Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game

Strong, story-driven narrative

The classic that defined the post-nuclear RPG: as a Vault 13 dweller you roam irradiated California, solving problems through talk, stealth or turn-based combat while your choices reshape towns and factions. Dark humor meets a bleak, open wasteland under the pressure of a ticking clock.

Bastion

Strong, story-driven narrative

An isometric action RPG where a gravelly narrator reacts to everything you do as you mix weapons and rebuild a refuge in a gorgeous hand-painted, shattered world. Its soundtrack and poignant ending choices make it unforgettable.

Shin Megami Tensei V

Tactical depth

A demanding turn-based JRPG set in a ruined Tokyo where you recruit and fuse demons and win fights by exploiting elemental weaknesses. Its more open desert world and morally charged story of gods and angels set it apart.

Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2

Dark, serious atmosphere

The conclusion of the Digital Devil Saga duology offers demanding turn-based combat built around exploiting weaknesses, set in a bleak, philosophical post-apocalyptic world. The reworked Mantra grid and Berserk Mode add depth to building your party.

Vangers

Lots to discover

Vangers is a bizarre racing adventure set in a strange, mutated world where you play a courier hauling goods, trading and fighting. Its enigmatic atmosphere, great freedom and cryptic storyline make it a unique cult classic.

Shin Megami Tensei II

Dark, serious atmosphere

A grim sequel where you recruit and fuse demon allies while picking a side among Law, Chaos and Neutrality in a religiously ruled dystopia. Punishing, uncompromising, and built on moral choices that decide the ending.
