This game is JRPG, but 90% of it is turn-based battles. I liked the colorful characters, but unfortunately you can only have three of the six in your party at one time, so half of them are always being left behind and not gaining experience. The story is minimal and the isometric graphics are fun to look at. I enjoyed …

This game is JRPG, but 90% of it is turn-based battles. I liked the colorful characters, but unfortunately you can only have three of the six in your party at one time, so half of them are always being left behind and not gaining experience. The story is minimal and the isometric graphics are fun to look at. I enjoyed wondering around the world, I just wish there was more to the game then the battles.

Beat Battle Chasers on Xbox One yesterday. Was a very enjoyable turn based rpg. I would definitely say it's a hidden gem as I've never seen it talked about much. I picked it up for like $10.00 and it was worth it. Kind of a gothic fantasy setting with vampires and demon lords but also has a touch of steampunk …

Beat Battle Chasers on Xbox One yesterday. Was a very enjoyable turn based rpg. I would definitely say it's a hidden gem as I've never seen it talked about much. I picked it up for like $10.00 and it was worth it. Kind of a gothic fantasy setting with vampires and demon lords but also has a touch of steampunk with airships and mechanical war golems. Worth a look if you're a fan of rpgs. I'm also at 88% in Lord of the Rings: The Third Age on Gamcube but even though I'm close to the end I'm getting a little burnt out on it. I'm in the Pelennor Fields and have to fight the giant Oliphaunts that can chain stun/stagger your group until you die. Also have no idea where to go as the map in this section is confusing. Going to try to take another stab at it but if I keep having issues I may just move on.

I tried but I just can't keep going. The overcharge system is a nice tweak to the classic turn based combat, but I can't get into the story (what little there is). Also, its 2018, and I hate that unused party members don't gain XP. Don't get me started on the fishing minigame.

Well still playing Battle Chasers Nightwar and very much enjoying it. There have been quite a few bugs though where once for instance I became stuck behind something and could not get out and had to do a reboot.. Or airship battles that keeps on loading so now I am quite glad there is the autosave feature. That being said …

Well still playing Battle Chasers Nightwar and very much enjoying it. There have been quite a few bugs though where once for instance I became stuck behind something and could not get out and had to do a reboot.. Or airship battles that keeps on loading so now I am quite glad there is the autosave feature. That being said I like grinding and I like the battle system as well. Liked it so much I decided to give another game a try.Just ordered Darksiders 2 the Deathinitive Edition for 20 euros and 1 for the ps3 for 2,99.

This is a game that is totally new to me. I did check youtube to see if I would like it and I liked the battle system (turn based) and I could get it for 15 euros so playing now. Visually so different than the games I normally play(Tales games, Final Fantasies a.s) but I think I am going to like it except for one thing. There is no save option!!! As someone who prefers to have various saves I hate that because it means if you make a mistake you can't fix it because there is only the autosave.
