RPG Corner: Battle Chasers: Nightwar

Many RPG's tell strong stories. In fact, a lot of RPG's have achieved critical or legendary status because of their stories and characters. Their length allows them to tell interesting narratives with deeper character insight along with the potential to grapple more complex themes than other genres when handled properly. Some of this generation's best RPG's, like Nier: Automata, are remembered for their writing.

With that said, Battle Chasers: Nightwar isn't one of those games. There's a plot I don't remember and characters whose names I can't recall without checking online or booting the game up, but it doesn't matter. While it wouldn't have hurt Battle Chasers to tell a better story, it's hard to care when it's held together by such a strong gameplay foundation.
