The Faceless Ones

If you're a fan of classic Japanese role playing games, The Faceless Ones from Valkyria Games might just be your next adventure. This premium title takes you back to the golden era of JRPGs with its charming pixel art and strategic turn based battles. Imagine gathering your party and setting off across a beautifully crafted semi open world, filled with mysterious characters and dangerous monsters waiting around every corner.

You'll take command of four legendary warriors from the Kingdom of Abrujah – Gualtier, Eidora, Cazis, and Hyndla – who've been tasked by Queen Berenice herself to prevent the resurrection of the ancient evil lord Moldark. The game's story centers on stopping the mysterious organization known as The Faceless Ones, and along the way, you'll explore diverse environments, from haunted forests to forgotten ruins. The autosave feature is a nice touch that ensures you never lose your hard earned progress, which is especially helpful during those tougher boss fights.

While The Faceless Ones successfully captures the magic of classics like Solemn Knight: Entirely Ours and Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes, some players might find the gameplay becomes repetitive after extended sessions. The combat system is well designed and satisfying at first, but doesn't evolve much as you progress. Still, for JRPG enthusiasts looking for that nostalgic fix with modern conveniences, this title offers enough engaging content to make it worth your while. The pixel art is genuinely beautiful, and the core adventure provides that satisfying party building experience that makes the genre so beloved.
