We need more Western RPGs. If only a Dragon Age port graced the appstore. Oh gawd would I be the giddiest man ever.
Hellz yeah! Something like Dragon Age would kick @ss! Also waiting patiently (impatiently?) for Ravensword 2
Avadon a JRPG?! I have played the Steam demo and it is anything but. It is a turn-based WRPG, in the old CRPG style.
Will add to SRPG, can't believe I hadn't ever really heard of Greed Corp. Thanks. Will amend Aralon to Western RPG or add CRPG; I don't have an iPad and obviously haven't played all these games so some guesswork . Thanks!
Not sure how it would work to include ratings, it's not likely unless you have a smooth idea on how to implement ratings.
Fixes: Zenonia ª Zenonia 2: The Lost Memories ª Zenonia 3: The Midgard Story ª Zenonia 4: Return of the Legend ª GA: Spider God is now GA 7, so: Gamebook Adventures 7: Temple of the Spider God = You'll soon have to add: Gamebook Adventures 8: Infinite Universe Nice list through
Hmm I was going to say something like: Get an average score for each game from the most reliable sites. But then I realized you've already posted a lot of games, which has been time consuming for you, so thanks. But what about if you bolded the "must have" games?
I think it would be better is users posted here their own "must have" games so that it wouldn't be so subjective in my part. If it were up to my vote games like Knighturn, Fall of Angels, or Henry & the Psionic Overlords would top the charts so my opinion doesn't necessarily reflect popular trend. In part I made the list to highlight unsung gems in preferred RPG sub-genres. As people make recommendations, if there is enough input, I could add a post with a recommended game consensus or summary with link on first post. Done, thanks.
You should add Monster Kingdom to the Monster Collecting/Hunting category. It feels very much like Pokemon, and has a great deal of strategy. There's even a live arena where you fight other people's teams in real-time.
