While it boasts a deep job and skill system, God Wars falls short of being an easily recommended Strategy RPG

Embracing a different take on Fire Emblem, Shadows of Valentia changes things up a bit to provide a weird but fresh experience for the franchise.

Another solid entry into the dungeon crawler genre, but one that doesn't stand out from the rest.

Offering little excitement and interest, The Caligula Effect is easily skippable.

What does this niche dungeon crawler have to offer for PC players?

Another Disgaea makes its way to PC, and it's a solid SPRG - if you don't mind flat characters and a boring storyline.

New characters and gameplay enhancements make a great game even better.

More than ten years after its original Japanese release, Xanadu Next is compact and addictive action RPG that was easily worth the wait.

A cute action RPG / Platformer that harkenes back to the PS1/N64 era, Gurumin is a fun adventure with charming characters that doesn't overstay its welcome.

While there are a few hiccups along the way, Dragon Quest VII is a well-crafted classic JRPG.

An exceptional roguelike with a great artstyle and synergy between gameplay systems, Shiren the Wanderer stands tall among its peers.

A straightforward dungeon crawler that may captivate those who can't get enough of the genre, but is a little too streamlined to be interesting.

A solid dungeon crawler with fantastic art and music, but a few poorly implemented ideas prevent it from being a truly great experience. The PC port is simple but performs well enough for the genre, and the addition portrait uploads is a fun bonus.

This visual novel / dungeon crawler hybrid does a number of interesting things with its characters and gameplay, but falls short of excellence due to a poor conclusion and lack of challenge.

It's Final Fantasy Adventure as you remember it.

While it may stick too close to the formula, this 5th entry improves upon its predecessor.

How does this Strategy RPG stack up?

Some unique combat tweaks brought down by repetitive structure and minimalistic narrative.

With a bland narrative and repetitive gameplay, Lost Dimension doesn't offer much for tactical RPGs

Classic mechanics and modern aesthetic merge to make a solid dungeon crawler

A solid follow up for the strategy RPG spinoff of the Shin Megami Tensei series

While mechanically sound, too many conveniences make Etrian Mystery Dungeon more mundane than it needs to be
