  • JRPG
  • Turn-based
  • Fantasy

A classic turn-based JRPG: the reincarnated hero of a legend flees a king who brands him the Darkspawn and gathers a band of adventurers. You can play it in 3D, with enemies in plain sight, or in 16-bit 2D with random battles.

Why play it now

When you want a long, laid-back adventure to last several weeks: seeing the whole story through takes around a hundred hours.

Who it's for

For players who want an old-school turn-based JRPG with a lovable party and a huge world.

When not to pick it

If you want something fresh or demanding: it's very traditional and fairly easy unless you turn on its optional challenges.
