Game Rants: JRPG battle systems

The JRPG genre is one of my favorite genres. Well written stories and/or characters (Yes, it is possible to have a bad plot but good characters.), strategic battle systems, and great music all are huge draws for me to the genre. While a good writing can make me want to get to the end of a game, the battle system is what dictates whether it is actually fun to get from one piece of story to another. Unfortunately, some games have absolutely abysmal battle systems which detract from the experience.

GVN Review: Shin Megami Tensei: Soul Hackers

Potential Spoilers, you have been warned.


Soul Hackers is an interesting take on the SMT series. It truly felt like a totally different game from most of the rest of SMT. However, it has a lot of unfinished ideas.

Game Rants: Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne

Potential spoilers, you have been warned.




The SMT series has always been an interesting series to play, however one game in particular from the series has stood out to me so far. That game is SMT: Nocturne, probably one of the most interesting games I've played so far. I always say that what makes or breaks anything is the little details and Nocturne has so many little things in it that grab the mind and let you play around. However, you have to be willing to give it this game the thought it demands or else you won't notice the huge amount of work that was put into it.
