Also if 2023 counts
What do you mean "2023"? I thought it was coming out of early access later this year.

Idk if it had an earlier date before but currently it's scheduled for Feb 2023
Also Wartales just got a big update if you're into Battle Brothers-like games. I liked what I played of it late last year and it seems to be progressing pretty well in EA.

I'm about halfway through the first playthrough and it feels like a decent successor to Tactics Ogre, with the large parties & branching storylines. Better gameplay than TO, but the story hasn't been as interesting.
Just saw Wartales today for the first time. It looks good, but I can't buy any more EA games.
Yeah, Wartales feels heavily inspired by Battle Brothers (a good thing!) - quite enjoyed what I played of the first region earlier this year, and based on the community updates, the game has a lot of promise.
Oh, so you can't even just add the Gladiator until you get the last class and you have to replace the existing one? Yeah, not a fan of that. But if the Gladiator isn't that great, then I guess it's not too big of a deal. Doesn't sound like it's worth the $10, though. Thanks for the info.
But everything I am hearing about Expeditions: Rome sounds like a great game and now want to get to it eventually. I still need to play Triangle Strategy. lol
Well you can also make your MC a Gladiator too, but I wouldn't do that. The game was much more fun that I expected. Highly recommended.
To make y'all feel bad, look at how stupid good the upcoming Fullmetal Alchemist Mobile looks visually:

I miss these sorts of SRPG spinoffs on consoles and handhelds something fierce. Unfortunately, I can't really stand the compromises to gameplay and story pacing being on phones requires, so blagh.

Yeah. In a perfect world, companies would do the recent CyGames thing and create a new game from the assets / a console version, but I understand that would devalue the mobile versions.

Any other Vogel fans here? Queen's Wish 2 got a release date for August 24th.

For mobile/gacha side, check out games made by Zlong. They are making pretty decent srpgs.

That one will at least be on PC too, and maybe consoles. Not ideal, not even close lol, but the production values are weirdly high.
There's also that Front Mission 1st remake coming out (and 2 is planned to be remade as well) to scratch the itch for a while, but yeah, I'd like something new as well. Or just full-blown remake all of them after 1 and 2.
Not gonna lie though, that gatcha game looks good enough I might play it a bit if the campaign is decent.
I was super interested until I learned it's like 70% visual novel. Not my style of game unfortunately.
Backed on kickstarter and very ready for it.

That looks surprisingly good.
If those FM remakes go multiplatform I'll be happy. I'm just not in position to buy a Switch for a few games at this time, especially not with a new Nintendo hardware looming.
Metal Slug is niche, but I think the game is overlooked because we don't know almost nothing, and the last update was a long time ago.
Yeah, a hype reveal light on details and then absolutely nothing, on top of an optimistic release window. The art is amazing but hard to say anything else at all about the game.
SE basically doesn't do pure exclusives anymore, so I wouldn't worry. A 6-12 month exclusivity at worst, but even that is very unlikely.

Were not fools we all know why this is on Mobile only and it's the same reason why I have a blanket ban on mobile games for me regardless of how good a game looks.

Neat! I looked around for reviews but somehow completely missed them. It sounds fun! Will definitely be checking it out.
I liked the demo a lot, so I just picked up. I'll try to play it this weekend.
The demo had a fixed roster of characters, but you can custom their equipment and the usual RPG stuff.
Thanks. I look forward to some impressions of the game, some steam reviews are already in and they are positive.
Tyrant's Blessing is out today. The resurgence continues!

Love the style of this, reminds me of GBA style sprites. Interesting that it says it's a roguelite too! Invisible Inc really nailed mixing roguelite and strategy/tactics for me so I'm open to that ideal.
There were some reviews linked in post #191, it sounds pretty good! I'm looking forward to checking it out after XC3... If I ever get through it.
Yess I love the art, GBA is a really good comparison.
