With The Lacerator, Games From The Abyss have crafted something a bit different for the genre. Yes, save points are scarce, ammo is limited, and a fixed camera adds cinematic flair just as it did through the ’90s, but it is also very much its own thing.

Shrine’s Legacy is a co-op action-RPG released as of October 7th, 2025, for the PC platform, and is set in the world of Ardemia, where two unlikely heroes are brought together through a shared passion of wanting to kill an evil dude.

The game loop of No, I’m Not a Human is based around a day/night cycle where daytime means everybody must stay inside, lest the scorching sun burn them alive, and nighttime is when both humans and Visitors roam the streets, seeking shelter by knocking on random doors and asking to come in.

The Knightling sets you off on a journey around the world of Clesseia on the hunt for your lost master, Sir Lionstone, and to stop the ‘Earthborn’ from harming your civilization.

Off is a game that has been floating around the astral plane for the better part of the last few decades. Some of you may not be familiar with this peculiar title that began as an RPG Maker project for developer Mortis Ghost, though many now recognize it as one of the inspirations behind the infamous Undertale and many other games to follow.

You could call Artis Impact a turn-based RPG, but honestly, its RPG mechanics—while present—seem to take a backseat to its narrative-heavy focus and greater message. The story, which conveys those messages, goes places—LOTS of places.

Heartworm tells the tale of Sam, a young woman who recently lost her beloved grandfather. Desperate to reunite with him, Sam does what many of us do and turns to the internet for advice, where she is tempted down one particular rabbit hole that leads her to an isolated home in the mountains.

Primal Planet, just as its title implies, is set in a prehistoric world, and while that’s true, it also mixes in elements of science fiction. I bet you didn’t see that one coming, did you!?

In The Drifter, you play as Mick Carter, the titular drifter, who is heading back home to attend his mother's funeral. Hitching a ride on a boxcar, Mick suddenly finds himself on the wrong end of gunfire as the train is ambushed by mysterious masked soldiers.

Fretless – The Wrath of Riffson is a turn-based RPG where you’ll play as Rob, a musician capable of wielding and controlling an assortment of powerful weaponized instruments, including an acoustic guitar, synth keyboard, bass guitar, and my favorite—the brutally low-tuned 8-string guitar for those epic death metal riffs!

Eriksholm’s namesake is the fictional city it takes place in, a gorgeous slice of 1900s Scandinavia bustling with life and yet teeming with the tension wrought by not only the rise of industrialization and the class divides it’s created, but also a sudden deadly plague referred to as Heartpox.

he first thing you’ll notice about Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo is that its commitment to being a long-lost Game Boy Advance title goes hard.

"To a T" has you playing as a freshly 13-year-old in a relatively normal town (if we pretend all towns have a giraffe running the local cafes), and this 13-year-old just so happens to have arms that are stuck outright in a T pose.

Tales of Seikyu beckons you in with its many popular gameplay elements, its art style, and its interesting story, inviting you into the unusual land of Seikyu and hopefully keeping you around long enough to help the town thrive, fall in love, and discover the mysteries of the island.

Shotgun Cop Man is pissed.  In fairness, I would be too if I looked like the offspring of a dildo and a piece of chalk, but the more pressing target of his anger is the urgent need to arrest Satan.
