The Soul Saga Kickstarter has come to an end, but it was most definitely a success for developer Disastercake.
While it’s been nearly four years since the Kickstarter was fully funded, we’re still waiting on the Wii U port of Soul Saga. Unlike the majority of indie games though, Disastercake have said the game is still coming to the dying console.
BagoGames: The JRPG genre has a bright future ahead with long anticipated games getting ever-so-close to releasing like Final Fantasy XV, Persona 5, and Kingdom Hearts III. However, independent developers who grew up with the classic J-RPG titles are filling the void left by the big publishers which have left us waiting for a good JRPG for so many years. Here are three indie JRPG's to look out for over the next few months/years.
So many subpar RPG's the last few years. Hoping the genre is about to get a major boost. Big fan of FF XV for sure. And indie's getting into the business? More power to them.
These three games look good, especially Soul Saga, and two are hitting Vita which is awesome (Get onboard the Vita train, Earthlock!). Weird how jRPG is now synonymous with Action RPG though. Kingdom Hearts and FFXV are Japanese, yes, but Action and Turn-Based is what really separates RPGs to me. A true jRPG isn't guns blazing FFXV. Action RPGs are fine, they can co-exist but don't lump them together.
I want old-school RPGs like Suikoden, Grandia, and Chrono Trigger to come back. Hell, even a new Secret of Evermore would be nice. I just want RPGs to be like they used to...:

Soul Saga is a title that I came to find was important to me. It firstly has the honor of being the reason that I created a Kickstarter account to back it, and secondly of the backed projects it is the first that I've had the pleasure of being able to see something from.
Soul Saga is best described as “A love letter to J-RPG classics from the Playstation era like Final Fantasy, Breath of Fire, Suikoden, and Persona” - which is currently within development by Disastercake’s lead Mike Gale who set out to do what some of us only dream of being able to do. Successfully backed with multiple tiers, Soul Saga has entered the start of its beta testing and I've had quite the pleasure of being able to play it thus far.
I always hear about awesome kickstarters after they end, really need to join and fund some of these awesome projects
Game looks good.
They had me when they said they were trying to re-create those JRPGs of the original Playstation era. Some of my best gaming moments were from the PSone so i will definitely support this title when it is released.
Soul Saga comes also to the PS4. This is very good.
And, there is also an another RPG coming to the PS4, called "Liege":
