I really like the combat in Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor, but it’s not an action RPG. I really like the RPG component in Kotor; it’s an amazing RPG with an amazing plot. I don’t have anything against a turn‑based combat system, but I still prefer the combat systems in action RPGs than CRPG. I played Mass Effect 1, and it’s one of my favorite games, but the combat felt a bit clunky. I don’t know if this has changed in next games of ME. Are there any sci‑fi action RPGs with good combat and story?

Looking for the best survival/rpg games with great building mechanics! Bonus points if it's on Game Pass. I play Palworld, Once Human and RuneScape Dragonwilds for reference. I love the building in Once Human but hate how all the good stuff is behind a pay wall. 😭

Hey everyone!

I’m the founder of OPP Studios and creator of Legacy of Pandora.  I started this project in 2022, and it’s grown from an early monster-taming concept into a turn-based roguelike set in Greek mythology.

You play as Pyrrha, Pandora’s daughter, trying to capture the Kakodemons unleashed when her mother opened the jar. Along the way, you build a team of creatures, encounter gods and mythological figures, and make moral choices that can drastically change your narrative and your gameplay.

One of the systems I’m most excited about is Corruption! Your choices are tied to traces like Pride, Greed, and Violence - which can transform your creatures into one of multiple different forms. I wanted the decisions you make outside combat to influence the team you bring into it.

Visually, we’re bringing together two big inspirations: ancient Greek vase art and Tartakovsky’s cartoons (like Samurai Jack).

I’m happy to talk about the game, adapting Greek mythology, creature design, combat systems, how the project has changed over the years, or the experience of building an indie game!

Thanks for having me - ask me anything!

I've played the original Paper Mario, Costume Quest and The Stick of Truth, and I've recently remembered how much I liked those games (and how shoddy and middling The Fractured But Whole was lol). I want to play more games like them, preferably on PC with controller support.

I've been building a JRPG with grid less tactical combat and light loot for about 1.5 years.

game name is Chronicles of fantasy heroes

On Oct 24 I'm opening a combat only playtest on Steam :2 regular bosses🥶, 1 hidden boss🥶

The combat gameplay is somewhat similar to Baldur's Gate.

The honest reason I'm posting: I've played it so many times I can't tell if it's fun anymore.

I'd rather hear it now than after launch.🤩

I only want two things from you: how was your overall experience, and did the combat feel smooth?

Not a difficulty verdict just whether it feels good to play.🥰

Note this is a combat only build, and each character has just one talent stone set, so talent builds aren't part of this test yet.😍

Available in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, and Korean.

Request Access on the Steam page,

I'll approve on the 24th: 😍😍

😍

hope you will love it. come on!!!!

i lied i played neverwinter nights nights 1, i have that remastered version of 2 haven't played, but thats it rly

never played mass effect or dragon age even though my fav games of all time is dragons dogma, dark souls, fallout, baldur’s gate etc. i always get recommend

i just have limited time to game so i can only rly choose one for now. i’m leaning towards dragon age inquisition or origins. do these games go on sale often?

I love RPG's, I love vampires, literally game made in heaven for me.

First couple hours - models are so 2016 trying to go for realistic look, in 2026 thats a crime, I have to install a mod to unlock cutscenes from 30 fps, the animations in cutscenes and dialogue seem very very off.

I think I liked literally every single VA except coen, he seems so unstable, idk how to explain it but it didn't feel like I was seeing a human talk, but like someone just reading a book.

Combat was incredible, seemed super smooth, animations seemed really nice and snappy, was playing duelist with indicators on.

The story was so damn interesting I was hooked from the mass.

After playing more, I loved Ancas side quest, but then each time I visited the dungeons it just the same repeated places in a slightly different font, same enemies, or just reskined enemies with the same moveset, why the fuck does Saint Mihai from a couple centuries ago have the exact same moveset as the guys I just fought by the church?? combat system was still fun but enemies were starting to get repitive QUICK.

The more I play, I notice the lack of details in this game, if I save people as a human or drakhir made no difference in reaction, I felt no real rush to save Coens family other than the father, I didn't really care about any of them, unlike something from say expedition 33 where the objective was like job almost, save everyone, here the objective is personal, but I don't personally feel anything towards these people, all I saw from them was mid dialogue and terrible cutscenes.

The Ancora cutscenes got old quick, same 3 or 4 spammed each time, dogs were annoying to fight, more mid dialogue with awkward delivery and animations, Coen's voicelines when killing a gaurd or a civillian by blood drinking is the same, and those voicelines themselves are just 3 or 4 repeated throughout the entire game until u get like level 12 in ure vampiric abilities.

If u drain an npc just till the sleep bar they die, so I have no clue whats the point of having it, like example if u drain Anca till she sleeps she just disappears, and if u drain her, but dont actually hold space and just let go, she starts using magic right after using the font like bro, she also spams the same voiclines she did when u fought together lmao.

U get to meet the matriach early in the city, and when u see her again all u get is 2 or 3 extra voicelines and nothing more, no mention of anything they talked about before, like her wanting to travel, or the problem Coen solved, nothing just empty.

And even with all this I must say again, fighting the same fkin 5 movesets the entire game, is just so so so boring, which also made the game super easy on duelist making the combat even MORE boring cuz u got used to the movesets so much.

With each passing hour my rating of the game has gone down and down, I finished it so I defo enjoed it even a little, a 6/10 seems perfect

What do u guys think?
