The Backlog Check-in Vol. 252: 10/29/22: Harvestella Edition

Played: The Alliance Alive HD Remastered, DreadOut 2, Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition
Finished: Nothing
Playing: The Alliance Alive HD Remastered
Added: The Alliance Alive HD Remastered, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China, Battlefield Hardline, Dragon Quest Heroes, Hunter’s Legacy, Justice Chronicles, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Need For Speed: Rivals, Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition, Sakura Wars, Valthirian Arc: Hero School Story, Ys IX: Monstrum Nox
I played a little Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition because it’s an earlier BioWare PC RPG that I’ve always been curious about, and while its graphics are really dated like a PS1 or N64 game since it’s an early 3D polygon game its design and gameplay mechanics are still fairly solid for the most part. I didn’t play a lot of it, but enough to know that it’s something that I could see myself enjoying when I’m in the mood for a classic style CRPG.
I’m playing The Alliance Alive HD Remastered now, and it’s a cute and fun retro style turn-based JRPG. It originally came out for 3DS and the graphics sort of have a pop-up book look to them designed to be displayed in 3D, but they still look fine without being in 3D as well. They’re a little on the simple side, but still have charm. The game itself is a standard linear progression style JRPG with towns, an overworld map and dungeons with a fairly basic turn-based battle system. It’s a formula that I like and don’t really get tired of, because I’m a sucker for retro JRPGs. I think that it’s something that everyone here might like, and it’s currently on sale at the PS Store for $15.
