If you're a fan of retro-inspired JRPGs, there's an exciting new addition to the genre that you won't want to miss. Introducing Endless Grades: Pixel Saga, a game that's not about college exams but rather a nostalgic journey through the golden era of JRPGs. Available now on Android and set to launch on iOS on April 1st, this game is perfect for those craving a dose of pixelated adventure.
Endless Grades: Pixel Saga taps into the nostalgia of classic RPGs, offering visuals that, while not as detailed as something like Octopath Traveler, still charm with their retro appeal. In this game, you'll explore diverse worlds, recruit unique heroes, and craft your own equipment as you delve into dungeons to battle demons and collect valuable upgrade materials.
One aspect that might divide players is the inclusion of an auto-battler mechanic, which isn't everyone's cup of tea. However, if you enjoy this feature and are looking for a fresh take on the JRPG genre with a nostalgic aesthetic, Endless Grades could be worth your time.
