Ruari O’Sullivan, one of the two developers who worked on the well-received graphical roguelike Cardinal Quest, writes in to announce a sequel. Cardinal Quest 2, like the original, is (and I quote) a streamlined roguelike; a top-down 2D game with permadeath about fighting your way through varied procedurally-generated environments and eventually challenging the minotaur tyrant […]

Everlong is also a jRPG, thanks to Doug Carpenter (and a small army of other folks). You are right about it being released a while ago, […]

Geoff Dunbar of Merry Prankster Games writes in to announce the release of 10 Fantasy Fights, a short (but free) fantasy tactics game featuring combat of the real-time-with-pause variety and a rules system reminiscent of D&D’s. The premise is a bit flimsy, and by the author’s own admission, is there primarily to justify him stress-testing […]

Hey folks! Sorry for the ridiculous delay in posting–the site host was down all day due to some friendly DDOSing from our friends over at Anonymous. Speaking of friends: when you take a look at Dragon Fantasy, don’t you just feel like you’re looking at your old pal Final Fantasy 4? What’s that–you say don’t […]

Well, here’s something you don’t see every day: Worlds Beyond is an old school jRPG currently in development by Bridge Unit Orzo, created in an engine the developers built themselves from the ground-up.
