1
Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter
If you're a fan of the Shin Megami Tensei and Persona series, you'll likely find the vibes of Tsukuyomi: The Divine Hunter very, very familiar. Kazuma Kaneko is back with another memorable journey in the form of a roguelike deckbuilder, inviting you to explore Tokyo's mysterious Hashira complex while battling beasts along the way.
What makes this stand out from others in the genre is its AI-powered card creation system, offering one-of-a-kind cards you can use depending on your previous choices. Talk about adding even more random elements into what's already a pretty randomised adventure!

Chronomon
Ah, the idyllic farm life - while it's incredibly relaxing to plant, grow, and harvest the day away without a care in the world, wouldn't it be even more chill to have monster pals you've enslaved - er, tamed - to do the work for you? The adorable Chronomon you'll meet in this monster-taming-slash-farming RPG will not only help you manage your farm and decorate your own little home, but they'll also do battle for you as you explore the vast open world around you - and the best part of it all is that you can do everything entirely offline.
In Chronomon, you can also befriend the townsfolk as you journey through different forests, dungeons, and villages, all with your beloved Chronomon by your side. And with cross-platform support, there's no excuse not to dive in, especially since there are over 200 maps and more than a hundred Chronomon to discover out there!

Ragnarok X: Next Generation
If you've been missing the good old days of lounging around in Prontera while waiting for that one guild member to go online before you go on an MVP raid you're already late for, Ragnarok X: Next Generation has you covered. Bringing back the nostalgic vibes of the OG RO game but with a modernised twist, this MMORPG now offers a player-driven economy and cross-platform support in a 3D-fied world.
Updated features such as auto-questing and smart navigation can help with the grind as well, and if you're worried that it might not feel like the same Ragnarok you've always known and loved, fret not - the classic jobs are back, whether you're eager to become a Swordsman, a Mage, an Archer, an Acolyte, a Thief, or a Merchant.

Alphadia III
Discover the origins of the Energi War saga in Alphadia III, Kemco's prequel to the Alphadia I and II JRPGs. As you can expect from the genre, you'll dive into a sprawling narrative filled with fantastical elements and war-torn nations, particularly revolving around an Energi clone named Alfonso.
Combat is a deep turn-based affair, with SP Skills you can strategise with and a ship you can happily upgrade as you explore missions and arenas along the way. All this is presented with pixel-art graphics, which already makes for a charming adventure in itself!
5
Spin Hero
If you're confident that Lady Luck is always on your side, you can put your RNG odds to the test in Spin Hero, a pixel-art roguelike deckbuilder where random spins determine your fate. Procedurally generated battles aside, the randomised elements include slot-machine-esque spins that tell you how your inventory will go, making for endless builds and tons of replayability with each run.
With four characters to choose from, you'll have a myriad of ways to take down the epic bosses that stand in your way - fortune favours the bold, after all.
