Loop Hero

There’s not a whole lot to say about Loop Hero. It’s a very simple game, but it’s a very addicting one. Loop Hero has a very nostalgic and retro feel to it. From the graphics, music and sound effects. It even has an option to play with a CRT filter on it! The vast majority of

Wow. Capcom needs to bring this damn series back. Breath of Fire IV is hands down one of the best PS1 JRPGs I have played. It is peak Breath of Fire.

Beloved Rapture Demo

This is an RPG Maker 2k3 game? No way. The only reason I believe it is because I’ve worked with RM2k3 and recognize the RPG_RT.exe file you need to open to start up the game. The game opens up with this Secret of Mana-esque scrolling image with some text over it. The mood even gave me
