Wild Arms 4 - probably too high profile a series to be included in this list, but I'm gonna mention it anyway because it's very much the black sheep of the series-despite being so, so good. Fantastic premise and execution-you play as a musician/mech pilot, and wander the world doing odd jobs. Steambot Chronicles - best sandbox RPG I've played to date. Also enjoy an interesting take on classic SMT gameplay in real-time. If that doesn't tick all the right boxes for you, I'm so sorry you're not me. You play as a private detective investigating supernatural shenanigans in prewar Japan. Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner Raidou Kuzunoha. Sets a gold standard for interactive fiction that few games have been ambitious enough to approach, and the soundtrack is insanely good, too.

Romancing SaGa Minstrel's Song - best nonlinear RPG I've played to date, with so many different story permutations based on which PC you pick, where you go and when you go there. GrimGrimoire - gorgeous Harry Potter-sequel magic school with really unique RTS-ish gameplay. It's got Mark Hamill in it! Otherwise it's pretty generic, but I had a lot of fun with it. Grandia Xtreme - the most mediocre game on this list, but a personal favorite. The story is also a lot of fun if, like me, you're fond of the 'demon king' archetype. Easily one of my all-time favorite battle systems. EG an axe has a short range but wide arc, whereas a bow has a very long and narrow, needle-shaped arc. The game is structured like a typical JRPG, but the combat system is more like an SRPG, only everything (even basic attacks) is based on radials and has a specific depth and breadth. GrimGrimoire OnceMore will release on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in Japan on July 28, 2022.Arc the Lad: Twilight of Spirits - Really solid, if archetypal story told with extraordinary earnestness, the biggest appeal of TOS is the amazingly innovative combat system.

Given that this year marks the 20th anniversary of Vanillaware as a developer and this week GrimGrimore celebrates its 15th anniversary, it seems like the perfect title for Vanillaware to remaster to celebrate its history. The game also introduced the world to Vanillaware’s now iconic 2D hand-drawn visual style that has defined all of the developer’s titles visually since and sets it apart in the AAA Japanese game development scene. GrimGrimoire is an interesting game in Vanillaware’s back catalog as it represents the foundation for many of the ideas that would come to be utilized in the developer’s later games, namely the turn-based strategy gameplay found in 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, which just recently made its way to Nintendo Switch. The remaster will apparently include new a voice cast, HD and widescreen visuals, and new quality of life gameplay improvements including a fast-forward function and a skill tree. North American and European releases are not yet confirmed, however, they are likely to arrive later this year. The remaster is once again being published by NIS and will be released in Japan on July 28, 2022. The remaster, which was announced in the latest issue of Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, is set to be titled GrimGrimoire OnceMore. The player commands an army of units known as familiars to defend multiple magic schools throughout the world. It follows a young witch named Lillet Blain who is trapped in a repeating five-day cycle in which her school is invaded by an army led by a wizard seeking the Philosopher’s Stone. The game is a real-time strategy JRPG which director George Kimitani specifically credited Starcraft as the main inspiration for.
