If you're a fan of retro-inspired JRPGs, a new game has entered the scene with a fresh take on the genre. Endless Grades: Pixel Saga is now available on Android and will be coming to iOS on April 1st. Don't let the name fool you; this game isn't about college exams but rather offers a delightful dose of nostalgia with its pixelated charm.
Endless Grades: Pixel Saga taps into the beloved elements of classic JRPGs, featuring graphics that, while not as visually stunning as Octopath Traveler, still manage to capture the essence of the genre beautifully. In this game, you'll embark on a journey to collect unique heroes, craft your own equipment, and dive into dungeons to battle demons and gather materials for upgrades.
One aspect that might divide players is the inclusion of an auto-battler mechanic. While this can be a point of contention, if you enjoy auto-battlers and are looking for a new aesthetic twist on the JRPG mobile genre, Endless Grades might be worth exploring.
With features like character collection and crafting, Endless Grades seems to have a lot to offer new players. However, the game's marketing of high SSR pull rates can come across as somewhat boastful and crass. It might be more impactful for the developers to let the game's impressive retro-inspired JRPG elements shine on their own merit.
