JRPGs have come a long way, from established franchises like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, to smaller experiences with memorable stories that aren’t afraid to experiment with their combat systems. Thanks to their continued popularity, there are numerous diverse JRPGs out there, some of which you might’ve never heard of.
From underrated to less conventional picks, we’ve compiled a list of PS4 JRPGs that most players haven’t dived into, but deserve a shot. Whether that’s due to their narrative premise, obscure gameplay elements, or titles from indie developers that never got their chance in the spotlight, there’s something for every JRPG fan to add to their list.
In order to uncover a conspiracy that spans an entire galaxy, step into the shoes of the rogue secret agent, Alyssa L'Salle. I like the amount of variety in Cosmic Star Heroine, as gameplay elements that stray away from conventional JRPGs are well executed. Exploration spans three planets, including secrets, aliens, robots, magic, and ghosts.
Cosmic Star Heroine puts a twist on traditional turn-based combat as, for the most part, each character’s abilities can only be used once, unless you go on the defense to recharge them. However, combat still manages to be satisfying because you can deal some serious damage by buffing your character and timing those attacks.
The Caligula Effect: Overdose is set in a peaceful world that exists for the purpose of letting people forget about the pain and problems that plague reality. However, the lines between reality and fantasy have become blurred, allowing those in the world to relive the joys of their high school years.
With that said, not all is as it seems, and your mission is to escape the dreamworld with your classmates, of which you can befriend over 500 students.
If you can see past the lack of enemy variety that makes up turn-based battles, The Caligula Effect: Overdose is worth sinking your teeth into.
As the name suggests, Demonschool has light horror elements on your way to recruiting demon hunters around campus to close demonic portals.
