Vita rpg games 2014

Read our Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth review…. The Vita has become a haven for visual novels, especially the popular visual novels that have not yet been localized in English.

Should he respond at all? These choices determine the routes to a half-dozen endings, all interesting and worthwhile. A fully 3D remake of a mainline Tales game? Oh my! The Tales series is known for its consistently high-quality games, and Tales of Hearts R , while not the epitome of gaming perfection, certainly does not disappoint. Getting the negatives out of the way first, the storyline, characters, and gameplay follow a very traditional JRPG style and bring nothing new to the genre.

And in an unfortunate turn of events, this title features random encounters, the archnemesis of most RPG players. Thankfully, battles are fast-paced, action-filled, and just plain fun. Character growth and combat skills offer plenty of customization, and grinding feels more like a pleasant diversion than a chore.

Read our Tales of Hearts R review…. Adroit adventurer Adol Christin, his best pal Dogi, and other sailors and passengers aboard the good ship Lombardia are attacked by a sea monster and become castaways on the mysterious island of Seiren. Things get weird when the castaways discover native populations of thought-to-be-extinct primordial dinosaurs and Adol dreams about a young priestess in an ancient civilization.

Ys VIII is the most ambitious game in the series, and the revised localization fixed the most glaring issue from its release. This game is recommended to any and all fans of flashy action RPG combat, large spaces to explore, and excellent fishing mini-games. This is where everything started. Ys Origin marks the beginning of the Ys timeline. Unlike most other Ys games focusing on our favorite redhead Adol, Origin presents three different characters, each with their own unique fighting style: Yunica Tovah feels much like Adol, focusing on lighting fast attacks; Hugo Fact is a master of magic and ranged attacks; and the third mysterious character ties the whole story together, setting the events of the series in motion.

Ys Origin revels in its simplicity. The combat is butter smooth and easy for anyone to pick up, but when it needs to, the game can put up a fight.

Many of the boss fights require deft tactics and excellent evasive skills, but all of them are a treat. Read our Ys Origin review…. Muramasa Rebirth is a port of the excellent Muramasa: The Demon Blade on Wii, and it is easily the definitive version. Split between two campaigns, Muramasa Rebirth is highly addictive, full of stages to explore and treasures to uncover.

Read our Muramasa Rebirth review…. The announcement of Danganronpa V3 caused much speculation on the web. Its predecessors were thrilling and subversive, but each wrapped up nicely. Would a third entry pose a danger of too much of a good thing?

Fortunately, Team Danganronpa had this quandary in the forefront of their minds when developing this finale to their beloved series of hyperkinetic detective games. The devilish Monokuma has once again trapped sixteen students within his trademark killing game, but everything may not be as it appears. One of the most self-aware games ever made, Danganronpa V3 plays with narrative and audience expectations in a way that only video games can, resulting in a fitting and incredibly satisfying send-off to an outstanding series.

Read our Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony review…. The Legend of Heroes series is long and complicated. Rean and the members of Class VII are endearing, the story builds slowly to a fever pitch, the turn-based combat is strategic and fun, and the music is utterly fantastic.

Huge and elaborate traps made to humiliate, brutalize, and just play straight up silly jokes on whatever enemies jump into the fray. Just be sure not to fall into your own genius creation. While some of the other Final Fantasy titles since have had their proponents, it seems like Final Fantasy X and X-2 marked the last time fans of the series really united behind a game.

Hohokum is the latest in an impressive line of imaginative indie games heading to Vita and PlayStation 4. There are countless independently created games coming this year to Sony platforms, more than ever before. Hotline Miami 2 , though, earns a spot here. The original was like a breath of fresh air. Fresh air mixed with a mist of blood, I guess, but still fresh.

The fast-paced, punishing gameplay and spartan story were enhanced an order of magnitude by the art and music, which worked together to convey not only the sense of time and place, but tone as well. The hazy, neon darkness of s Miami was captured perfectly. They were painfully boring, and I used to imagine a character jumping, swinging, and climbing from bubble to bubble while I went through the much less interesting motion of completing the test.
