Dragon Quest III and Final Fantasy are both high fantasy RPGs. They have a lot of similarities and only a handful of differences. This Dragon Quest game feels like it is closer to what the first Final Fantasy game was doing. Dragon Quest III is still a fairly new game to me. I played itContinue reading “Which is better?

Now, I’m excited for Scarlet Hollow’s Last Episode
The second part of Scarlet Hollow Episode 5 was released a few days ago. It was pretty good, and I’m looking forward to seeing what all of this was about. I was a little confused about what I saw in all of this; not that I didn’t understand it, it was just weird. The secondContinue reading “Now, I’m excited for Scarlet Hollow’s Last Episode”
Which is better? Robotrek or Inindo: Way of the Ninja
Inindo and Robotrek are both turn-based RPGs that have similar approaches to combat. After that, things are very different. Their settings, gameplay, and story differ greatly. These are both weird games, and that is part of the reason I like them. It has been a while since I’ve written about Robotrek. This is one ofContinue reading “Which is better?

I’m not sure about Scarlet Hollow Episode 5

Which is better? Phantasy Star III vs Dragon Quest III
Dragon Quest III and Phantasy Star III are both good RPGs. Aside from them being turn-based RPGs, there aren’t too many similarities between them. They share some common mechanics that you’ll see in most retro RPGs.

Which is Better? Destiny of an Emperor or Inindo
There aren’t too many RPGs that use historical events as a backdrop on the NES and SNES. So, comparing two of them seems like a good idea to me. This time, I’m going to be looking at Inindo: Way of the Ninja and Destiny of an Emperor. I have a lot of memories of playingContinue reading “Which is Better? Destiny of an Emperor or Inindo”
Inindo: Way of the Ninja, a Promising RPG
Inindo: Way of the Ninja was released in 1991 in Japan and then in 1993 in North America. This is a turn-based RPG where you play as a ninja, and you’re trying to get revenge on Nobunaga. Like other Koei games, this is based on historical events. Koei has an odd track record with RPGs.Continue reading “Inindo: Way of the Ninja, a Promising RPG”
