![Live a Live - Review [A 90s JRPG, TODAY!] - Switch @HellFireRPGs](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/U7abhtmGwSI/maxresdefault.jpg)
Uploaded August 2022 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago
Back in 1994, square released a little RPG on the Super Famicom called Live-a-Live. On release, it was met with disappointing sales, when compared to the Final Fantasy series. And that was it, Live-a-Live remained in Japan, never to officially venture out to the rest of the world.
Until 2022 that is! Where Live-a-Live was finally remade in that pretty HD2D style that we all love! This game is a very different kind of RPG. It’s basically a collection of completely unrelated, short stories, that are each lovable in their own way. For those of you who are fans of 16bit era RPGs, and want to experience something fresh, than Live-a-Live is definitely worth a look.

![Flowstone Saga - Review [A MUST PLAY Tetris style JRPG!]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/U9wVwMI1dQY/mqdefault.jpg "Flowstone Saga - Review [A MUST PLAY Tetris style JRPG!]
It takes something special, something different, about an Indi JRPG to get me excited. Crazy visuals, some sort of unique mechanic, or even just a trailer that screams my name. For Flowstone Saga, it’s the combat mechanics!
Flowstone saga is exactly what you would get if you crossed a quality, 16-bit, retro-JRPG, with the worlds best selling video game, Tetris.
I’ve never really been a Tetris fan. But now, I’m a tetris fan. Actually, I’m a Flowstone Saga fan, and a HUGE one at that.
If there’s anything about this game that looks like it may interest you, give it a go. Whether you’re a Tetris fan or not, it doesn’t matter. Flowstone Saga is an excellent JRPG and it should not be missed. I would even place it at the level of other recent Indi JRPGs Chained Echoes and Sea of Stars!

![Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong Review [A different kind of RPG] (PS5, Switch, Xbox X/S, PC)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UcjZS0azTJY/mqdefault.jpg "Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong Review [A different kind of RPG] (PS5, Switch, Xbox X/S, PC)
Vampire: The Masquerade Swansong is part of a series that I’ve been interested in for a long time. This series started out as a tabletop RPG in 1991 as part of the World of Darkness setting line. Nearly a decade later, the series was first adapted into the world of video games, with Vampire: The Masquerade – Redemption being met with mixed reviews. But it wasn’t until 2004s Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, that I was first introduced to the series. It was an absolute technical disaster, but despite this, it had a lot going for it, and I’ve been a fan even since. The dark, mature atmosphere, and the vampire politics drew me in, and I’ve been longing for a similar experience ever since.
Vampire: The Masquerade Swansong, is not the game that was going to quench my thirst for more blood, but it did at least scratch an itch. Swansong is a different beast all together. Where Bloodlines is all about roaming the city at night, feeding on the unsuspecting, and destroying everything that stands in your way, Swansong, is more about learning about the rich world, solving puzzles, and uncovering a local mystery.

![Final Fantasy 2 - Review [Pixel Remaster]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Up7CgAU2K58/mqdefault.jpg "Final Fantasy 2 - Review [Pixel Remaster]
After the original Final Fantasy title sold over half a million copies in Japan, it really didn’t take long for Squaresoft to capitalize on this success with a sequel. Final Fantasy II was released from the NES in 1988, only a year after the original, and although it received some decent reviews in Japan at the time, it is now widely considered as the weakest in the series.
Final Fantasy 2 did quite a few things differently, but with this, came a fair share of problems. Problems that will drive you insane. However, I also know that there are many people out there who are interested in seeing how this series started, for better or for worse, and it’s to those people that I say: This is NEARLY the perfect way to experience FF2.

Unless you’ve grown up in Japan, you may be unaware how massive the Megami Tensei series is. Since 1987, there’s been 18 releases, and re-releases of the main series, and even more spinoff series including Persona, Devil Survivor and Digital Devil Saga. The latest in this massive series is Shin Megami Tensei V, released as a Switch exclusive in late 2021.
If you’re new to the series, then SMTV is a great place to start, as there’s no requirements to have played any of the previous games, plus, it’s bloody addictive!
It didnt quite win the 2021 RPG of the year award, but it was close. Watch this review to find out why!

Top 100 JRPGs of all time! Number 97: Valkyrie Profile
The JRPG genre has been evolving for around 40 years now. It has seen its share of ups and downs, but right now, its arguably in the best place that it has ever been. Since the early 80s, we’ve seen the releases of 1000s of JRPGs, or JRPG style titles, from hundreds of different developers, but it goes without saying that not all of them are created equally.
This series is going to look at the very best JRPGs ever made, or at least, my favorite. This is my personal top 100 JRPGs of all time! I’m certain my top 100 will be different to yours, so let me know your thoughts in the comments below. Is something too high? Is something too low, what do you think? 💬
