Developer Arvind Yadav of Pyrodactyl Games writes in with news that the A.Typical RPG now has a public demo. In the meantime, the full game’s release has been pushed back to March 31st in order to give the developers some extra time to bug test. Here’s how the devs sum up A.Typical RPG: The A.Typical […]

Earlier this week, Spiderweb Software released Avadon: The Black Fortress for Mac. The Windows port is “Coming in Spring 2011,” or “hopefully by the end of April”; sometime after that, an iPad port is apparently on the horizon as well. Avadon has had a remarkably short development cycle since its  announcement in May of last […]

This is interesting: general-purpose RPG news site RPGWatch has posted the results of a poll in which they asked people to rank this year’s upcoming crop of RPGs according to which look the most promising. Indie RPGs made quite a strong showing in the poll, taking second (Frayed Knights) and fourth place (Avadon) in the […]

While I have the presence of mind to remember to do this, I want to share a couple of free (and extremely well-done) jRPG parodies I’ve had the pleasure to experience over the past year. Super Press Space to Win Action RPG and Sophie Houlden’s The Linear RPG are both scathing critique of jRPG conventions. […]

Tired of RPG Maker games? Well, here’s something you don’t see every day, Chauncey: a first-person dungeon delver. That would be Darklight Dungeon, by ZoellerSoft LLC. The screenies and description immediately call to mind old games like Wizardry and Stonekeep. Darklight Dungeon’s official description is a little lackluster, but the Rampant Games blog has its […]

Thus, rather than tell you that strategy-RPG / western-RPG wunderkind Telepath RPG: Servants of God has just been made available for pre-order, I will use a picture: Word has it that this is going to be a good’n, but in the spirit of visuals over verbiage, […]

Will Swannack writes in with word that he has released a new graphical roguelike by the name of Through. As in, “Will is now Through developing the game,” or “Let’s go adventuring Through this big dungeon,” or “I played Through too much and then I Through up.” Well. Maybe not that last one. Anyway, here […]

Developers SRRN made a curious choice in creating Ash: they built a brand-new jRPG engine natively for the iPhone, then licensed generic RPG Maker sprites from Enterbrain to decorate the thing. According to this positive review up on RPGFan, however, the original writing really makes the game. It’s $4.99 up on the app store. Here […]

Don’t ask me how they managed this, but Aldorlea Games has just released a new RPG less than a week after the release of their last RPG. This latest one is called Millennium 3: Cry Wolf. Here is what it’s about: Marine and her friends are back! Time is running out for the showdown and […]
