There's a little bit of sad news today for gamers looking forward to Agarest: Generations of War 2. The strategy RPG title received a new UK release date due to some unforeseen prob lems.
The third game in the Agarest series comes to Steam, bringing changes to the series on many fronts.
Whistler from Morbid Play writes, "For a while now I’ve been debating the concept that the golden age of JRPG’s was between the fifth and sixth generation of gaming in particular the PSX, PS2 and GBA that offered so timeless gems like Persona 4, Dragon Quest VIII, Vagrant Story, Fire Emblem and several Final Fantasy titles.
My personal study tends to lead me to despair though as by the time the seventh gen consoles joined the party it seems that quality JRPGs have become fewer and farther between with a myriad of mediocrity, recycled tropes or just downright generic gameplay."
Agarest: Generations of War 2 is the latest game from the Agarest franchise to be ported to the PC, and it is easily one of the best JRPGs from the PS3 era.
