Given how successful every other aspect of Re:ZERO has been, it was only a matter of time before this Isekai breadwinner came to consoles.
#NOX ARCHAIST KICKSTARTER SERIES#
What started as a light novel series quickly branched out into the mediums of manga and anime. As I mentioned in a recent article, there’s quite the Wikipedia rabbit hole involved in this franchise. Part visual novel, part strategy RPG, it serves as a full-fledged console tie-in to the perennially popular Re:ZERO franchise. Re:ZERO – Starting Life in Another World: The Prophecy of the Thronestrives to be two things at once. Re:ZERO – Starting Life in Another World: The Prophecy of the Throne – January 28th (PS4, Switch, Windows) I wasn’t even alive for stuff this old-school and yet I’m tempted to pick this up anyway. Nox Archaist looks like an old Ultima game, plays like an old Ultima game, and by golly, I bet it even smells like an old Ultima game. Steve Wozniak himself has even tweeted his enthusiasm for this one. (That’s nearly $5,500 when adjusted for inflation.) There are so many video games these days with the primary purpose of recapturing the essence of classical hardware, but surely, nothing can compare to the commitment we’re seeing in Nox Archaist. And I reckon it needed to blow minds, considering its $1,300 price tag.
Its screen was capable of color graphics, which pretty much blew people’s minds. The Apple II, in case you’re not hip to technology as old as the original Star Wars, was an 8-bit home computer that competed with the likes of the Commodore PET 2001 and TRS-80 for dominance. But this is Nox Archaist, an RPG that just came out for Apple II hardware last month.
If any other 2021 video game release was this blurry, I’d have questions. I cannot get over how delightfully blurry it is. The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav and The Dark Eye: Memoria – January 27th (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, XSX)ĭo you see how blurry this image is? It is gloriously blurry. Numerous writers at RPGFan are stoked for this game, so you can bet it will be on our radar well after release! She can even dive underwater for fun and profit. Ryza’s armed with cool new abilities in Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy, including using plants to climb walls and magic ropes to travel between areas. It isn’t long before she’s reunited with several familiar faces from the first game. Three years after protagonist Ryza’s initial adventure, a close friend returns to her life with news of unexplored ruins with alchemical ties. A sequel was inevitable, and Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy is now just a day away. And it’s no wonder, given how good the game is. Atelier Ryza, on the other hand, has reinvigorated the franchise. The last few Atelier titles had sold poorly overseas, likely leading to the studio’s decision to nix dubs as a cost-saving measure. My jaw went slack when Koei Tecmo and Gust announced back in August that Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & The Secret Hideouthad hit the 500k sales mark.
