John Clowder, creator of the decidedly bizarre surrealist jRPG Middens (previously covered here), has come out with a new title by the name of Gingiva. As with Middens before it, Gingiva is a surrealist jRPG. The premise: An amboeboid landscape threatens to engulf civlization and all its plastic bottles. Disembodied mouths live in the walls […]

The Trese Brothers have returned with another open-world RPG on the Android, this one pirate-themed. The aptly titled Age of Pirates is “a high-seas adventure RPG that mixes story RPG elements with a powerful trading simulation.” The game has you playing as merchant Nathaniel Sveet on a quest to save his son. The devs write: […]

So, this is apparently a thing. A developer going by the name of Phenix has released an RPG Maker game starring Kanye West, in what has to be the most ludicrous use of a celebrity persona since Barkley: Shut Up and Jam Gaiden. The game, in case the title of this post didn’t tip you […]

Ian Gregory of Witching Hour Studios has dropped me a line to let me know about the release of Ravenmark: Mercenaries, a new fantasy strategy title out for iOS. The premise: In the events of Mercenaries, set six years after the events of the original RAVENMARK, the world of Eclisse has been scarred irrevocably by […]

Rhys Furlow of Eclectic Gaming writes in to announce Sharpened Steel, a single player open world RPG currently in development. I was given a plot summary with what I can only assume are massive spoilers, so here’s a redacted version: You wake up in a store with no memory whatsoever, so you head out to […]

Terry Cavanagh has brought to my attention the existence of a new RPG Maker chain game: specifically, the appropriately titled RMW Chain Game. (I say “new,” of course, because we saw one of these released last year.) Created under the auspices of ChainGame.net, RMW Chain Game is basically exquisite corpse conducted via RPG Maker: The […]

Hello, gentle readers! We’re back from our Memorial Day break with a free game for you to check out. Michael Lau writes in to tell me about Lunar Wish: Orbs of Fate, a jRPG he recently completed using RPG Maker VX. The premise: Serathium, the fabled land of legends home to Angels, Beasts and Vampires, […]

Steve Gibbon writes in to tell me about Tales of the Drunken Paladin, a comedic jRPG with some very nice custom character portraits. (“Custom,” of course, being relative to the rest of the graphics, which appear mostly to be defaults from RPG Maker.) The game was originally released way back in 2009. Since that time, […]

Robert Gąsiorowski of Desert Fox Software writes in to announce the release of Srututu: Forgotten Foe, an odd sort of board game / RPG mix. (It actually came out on November 28, 2012, but I only just heard about it, so New Release it is!) Here is how the developer describes it: Srututu-Forgotten Foe is […]

Deepfall Dungeon is a free, 3D first person dungeon crawler that was apparently released back in November (but hey–it’s new to me). Created by LOD Games, Deepfall Dungeon doesn’t waste time pretending to have a plot: You have entered the dreaded Deepfall Dungeon and must find the exit! Along the way, you will fight monsters, […]
