Takeyasu Sawaki's The Lost Child is one step closer to its western release. The JRPG will come in summer 2018 and just got a new trailer.
There have been jokes that the Nintendo Switch is the successor to the PlayStation Vita. Plenty of visual novels are making their way to the console, and it also has become a haven for RPGs. In fact, it’s even starting to find itself the home for a certain specific sort of RPG, the first-person, party-based dungeon-crawler. There were loads of them on Sony’s handheld and now Nintendo’s system is starting to build up its own library.
"2018 has been packed full of incredible RPGs of many varieties so here are the best ones within 9 unique categories." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Odd that Dragon Quest 11 didn’t make the cut. Did the author not play it? It’s quite good.
That is the most anemic list one could possibly conjure. Many of those suck. DQXI and Octopath are well above. Not to mention Torna the Golden Country.
Dragon Quest 11 was easily the best RPG this year, and it's not even on the list.
Kadokawa Games President Yoshimi Yasuda shares his insight as Producer of many games and veteran of the Japanese gaming industry.
Yes
So........what's the gameplay like?
Is it an interactive novel? An actual game like El Shaddai (which was a great game)?
Hate these trailers that don't show anything but a bit of anime, artwork and text.
This has me intrigued. I'd like to see gameplay.
Sweet. I will have to check this out.
