Taking place between the Utawarerumono Prelude and the Mask visual novels comes a new JRPG. Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten by Aquaplus tells the story of a younger Oshtor, Mikazuchi, and Munechika before taking up their roles in the Mikado’s inner circle. I previously wrote about my early impressions of the game, which you may […]
Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist & The Mysterious Dream feels like it slipped under the radar in comparison to the Atelier Ryza titles. One of our team once mentioned it as a candidate for GOTY and scored it very well in his review of this JRPG, so between that and my own love of the Atelier series, I knew I had to […]

Let’s Live A Little and […]
The NeoGeo Pocket Color is the little handheld that could and is seemingly a great fit for Nintendo’s Hybrid that does. Following in the footsteps of the NeoGeo Pocket Color Selection Vol.1, SNK VS. Capcom: Card Fighters’ Clash and Big Bang Pro Wrestling, the Nintendo Switch now has one of the few JRPG titles the NeoGeo Pocket had – […]
