Remember that Dark Crystal game? We sort of heard about it at E3 this year and that it would have a vague "2019" release date, but like many of those projects that drift into December with a looming window, it's been pushed into 2020. ...

There's going to be a lot of Fire Emblem to go around the table after Three Houses launches this year. So we know that Nintendo is releasing DLC that will run through April 2020, allowing for an already long tail. But thanks to a ...

One of the greatest things about Destructoid is its sense of community. I've made life-long friends here and meet folks who share the same passion as myself nearly every single day. Bartek Kubica, who resides in Poland, is one of those peop...

Just over a month ago Wargroove was unleashed into the world and players immediately took to it. Partly because of the general lack of high profile SRPGs in the current market (Into the Breach comes to mind), but also no doubt due to i...

Dtoid is the best gaming site around -- no contest! Except this contest. Which is for Valkyria Chronicles 4 for Steam. Can you believe that, after a month and a half of giving out free games every single day, I haven't given out a single on...

Wanna know what really upsets me? Digital-only titles. I've never been a big fan of digital media, and with the way current consoles are all constantly connected to the internet many developers have gone -- whether willingly or not -- big-t...

We are creeping ever closer to the release of Disgaea 1 Complete. The remastered 2003 JRPG will be hitting western shores this Fall, and publisher NIS America are popping out videos to whet fans' appetites.This latest trailer introduces us ...

Disgaea is still a big name in the strategy RPG business, even if it doesn't carry as much weight as it once did. It was pretty much the de facto SRPG for a long, long while, and helped cement NIS' authority as a strategy titan. Over t...

Final Fantasy Tactics is generally considered to be one of the best SRPGs of all time. Born out of the 32-bit era, Tactics not only brought Ivalice into the world, the connected universe that's shared by myriad Squaresoft games, but it also...

Disgaea 1 Complete is a pretty monumental release for the series, not just in terms of the impact the original made and how it's going to be reintroduced to a new generation, but the fact that it's dropping on PS4 and Switch. Typically NIS ...

We've heard a fair bit about the Disgaea 1 remake recently, known in Japan as "Disgaea Refine." Like the fact that it's coming this year in the east on PS4 and Switch, or that it features remastered HD visuals, or that it's getting a shiny ...

NIS has revealed the look for Disgaea Refine, its upcoming remaster of the original Disgaea, set for PS4 and Switch later this year. You can get a quick comparison shot below between the two visual styles (old and new), and I have to say it...

Disgaea Refine, the remake of the original and still-beloved Disgaea, is coming soon in Japan. By way of Dengeki PlayStation we now know that it's arriving on July 26 in the region on both PS4 and Switch. It'll also sport a limited edition ...

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle came out last August and has already dropped a few add-ons by way of its season pass, but there's more DLC to be had if Ubisoft has anything to say about it. Oddly enough the game isn't even out in Japan yet, ...

Over the course of the last few years or so Circle Entertainment dropped a low key series called Mercenaries Saga over the iOS, Android, and 3DS platforms. And you know what they say -- the Switch is the new 3DS -- so naturally it's coming ...

When a Japanese adult game's naughty parts are cut from the console release, there are some instances where it retains its charm. This shows that the product can stand on its own two feet. After I turned Zipang into the strongest natio...

Whenever a game lets the player pick a romantic partner, there's a chance they'll engage with other people in a debate over who's the best candidate. If your opponent disagrees with you, then their reply will contain the s-wo...

Earlier this year, the Valkyria franchise was in a bad state with the release of Valkyria Revolution, which released to poor scores and some of the worst sales in the history of the franchise. It seemed like it was about to be laid to rest,...

Back when Bandai Namco announced Kamen Rider City Wars for the Android and iPhone, the trailer didn't reveal how it would play. Thankfully, their second video confirms that it's a mix between a strategy RPG and a beat 'em up. Aside from bat...

Ever since the strategy RPG Makai Kingdom came into existence, we were introduced to an extra character named Asagi, the main heroine of an upcoming game. Instead of receiving her own project, she continued to make cameo appearanc...

I’ve been a big fan of The Behemoth ever since I first played Castle Crashers. I was familiar with their Newgrounds content, but never really took the plunge until the genre defining beat-'em-up landed on Xbox Live Arcade in 2008. It ...

“We need wealth and power,” my huskarls would say. “Those with power are meant to be feared. Take what is yours.” “No, I will not spread this negative, derogatory stereotype of Vikings that will inevitably refl...

Have you taken our Disgaea 5 Complete quiz yet? Well, you should! If you don't have time for it (or maybe scored something in the neighborhood of 25-74) you can check out the demo instead, which is now live on the North American e...

Your father is dead, pretty much everyone wants your territory, and your only allies are in the mysterious lands across the seas. You're forced to kill your cousins at your father's remembrance for their impudence, and forgiving their uncle...

It's hard to believe Chroma Squad launched in April of 2015 on PC, and we're just now getting a release window on other platforms. Bandai Namco has announced that they will publish the game on PS4, Xbox One, Vita, iOS, and Android in "early...
