Review by James T. The year is 2008. Twitter has just exploded into the stratosphere, Instagram doesn’t exist, people still used their phones to actually call people and fans, are eagerly awaiting the release of Half Life 2: Episode Three. It’s a crazy time. But maybe most important of all,…

Video by Matt S. Oninaki is the latest from Tokyo RPG Factory, published by Square Enix. As with Tokyo RPG Factory’s previous efforts, it’s a retro JRPG throwback with a modern presentation.

Review by Matt S. No. No. No. No. Nononononononono. No. Hit-Point is a great developer when working on cute cat and frog casual interaction games (play Neko Atsume if you haven’t before), but purveyors of utter trash when it comes to JRPGs. Kemco, meanwhile, is the publisher of the aforementioned trash.…
