Indie game developers know how to pay homage to some of the classics while still managing to make their games feel unique. Crystal Project may not be new, but if you're looking for a game to scratch that OG Final Fantasy itch, look know further.

40. Companions feat. SuperRad
Our video game experiences would be so boring without our fellow party members livening up the experience. And just like an RPG party, our podcasts are that much better with our incredible guests. Joining our conversation on Companions is incredible essayist and part time assassin: SuperRad!

-
38. Turn-based Battles feat. SuperDerek! (Part 2)
As we discussed in part one of our episode, Turn Based Battles are here to stay! Come listen to which games had us wanting more and which games we kicked to the curb as we reminisce with @SuperDerek about some of the classics. Also, stick around for another game of 'Poorly Described', this time...
-
38. Turn-based Battles feat. SuperDerek!
Though the lines of defining RPGs become more blurred each year, one subset (and potentially the originator) of the RPG will always have a special place in our hearts. Turn-Based Battles have been a part of many a gaming nerd's lives since the dawn of console gaming. Come join the fun as we…

37. Cozy Games feat. Eeowna (Part 2)
And we're back for part 2 of our episode on Cozy Games! Though most identify cozy games as farming or life sims, there are actually several different aspects one can look at in order to determine if a game is cozy or not. And who better to explain that than our favorite Queen of Cozy herself,...
-
37. Cozy Games feat. Eeowna (Part 1)
Grab your axes and watering cans! It's time to talk about all things cozy. If you're like me, you probably haven't got this far in life without a cozy game or two to get you through some of the harder days. But not all cozy games need to be life or farming sims, right? Joining our episode on one…

36. Wild Arms Series feat. DavidVinc and Gaming Broductions (Part 2!)
And we're back for Part 2 of our episode on the Wild Arms series! Today we'll be focusing on the series highlights and low points as well as ranking the series from worst to best. I also managed to pit @davidvinc and @GamingBroductions against each other in a winner-takes-all trivia showdown!
-
36. Wild Arms Series feat. DavidVinc and Gaming Broductions (Part 1)
Wild Arms may not seem like it would work on paper (fusing a JRPG with a Western American setting), but if you ask any millennial nerd about one of their favorite PS1/2 JRPG series, it usually lauded for it's incredible setting and world building. Grab your cowboy hats and your six shooters…
more -
35. Water Levels feat. Professor Bopper! (Part 2)
Welcome back to part two of our episode on Water Levels. In this half of the episode we take some time to talk about how much we appreciate water in real life compared to how water levels tend to screw us over in some of our favorite (and least favorite) games. Stick around for the final part of...
-
Water Levels feat. Professor Bopper
We always like to see diversity in level design, right? Whether it's the a beautiful seaside area like Gondolia in DQXI or the dreaded Chemical Plant Zone in Sonic 2, Water Levels can be very divisive. Joining the conversation today is everyone's favorite gaming philosopher, Professor Bopper!
-
The Game Boy Advance feat. KBash! (Part 2) | Season 4 Premiere
And we're back for part 2 of our discussion on one of the greatest handheld systems of all time. Joined by honorary guest @KBash (who basically has a PHD in the GBA), we're talking big love and appreciation for this little system. Is the Game Boy Advance the best version of Game Boy? Is is the…

The Game Boy Advance feat. KBash!! | Season 4 Premiere
RPGaymer has returned for season 4 and what better way to kick off a new season than with a deep dive into one of the greatest handheld systems of all time—the Game Boy Advance! Joined by honorary guest @KBash (who basically has a Ph.D. in the GBA), we're talking big love and appreciation for…

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & New Mystery of the Emblem | BONUS XP 033
The DS duo of the Fire Emblem series are quite the contentious pairing. Not only did they suffer as lackluster retellings of the beginning of the series, but only one of them was released globally. However, these games do have some redeeming qualities and are a relatively fun, if not overly…
more -
Fire Emblem Awakening feat. ActualLizard and Mekkah! | BONUS XP 032
Fire Emblem Awakening is often dubbed the savior of Fire Emblem series as things weren't looking good for one of our favorite tactics games. For better or worse, Fire Emblem Awakening introduced a lot of interesting new mechanics, like the pair-up system, while also reacquainting the series with...
-
Fire Emblem 6 & 7 feat. Mekkah & ActualLizard! | BONUS XP 031
If you're a Westerner, it's very likely that you hadn't heard of the Fire Emblem series until the mid-2000s when Fire Emblem 7 was released outside of Japan. Though it was packaged as just 'Fire Emblem,' many were surprised to find that not only was it not the first title in the series but it was...
-
Fire Emblem: Fates feat. Professor Bopper and SpeedyHawk! | BONUS XP 030
It's Fates time, my dudes. And it's about to get real ugly. Fire Emblem: Fates is a pretty polarizing entry. In some aspects, it's a mechanically sound, highly engaging game while still managing to be a mess of a plot. In order to tackle such a chaotic game, it's time to bring in a little bit of...
-
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance & Radiant Dawn feat. Professor Bopper and ActualLizard! | BONUS XP 029
It's time for us to continue our run-through on the Fire Emblem series and this time we're hitting two games in one. Path of Radiance is coveted as one of the best (if not the best) Fire Emblem and it super sucks that it's system-locked (looking at you Intelligent Systems). It's hard to pin down…
more -
Fire Emblem Sacred Stones feat. Professor Bopper and ActualLizard! | BONUS XP 028
Fire Emblem Sacred Stones is the worst Fire Emblem in the series......said no one ever. All jokes aside, Sacred Stones is an incredible entry and often hits the top of most of Emblemer's Top 3 lists. What is it about this entry that makes it so appealing? Is it Eirika and Ephraim's diverging…
more -
Fire Emblem Engage feat. Mekkah & ActualLizard! | BONUS XP 027
Season 3 might be over but that doesn’t mean we’re going to stop talking about your favorite games! One of the most gracious groups of content creators I’ve had the opportunity to work with is hands down the Fire Emblem community. In season 2, we blazed through the entire Fire Emblem series, but...
-
33. RPG Mini Games!
It’s been a long time coming but we’ve finally reached the season 3 finale of RPGaymer. What better way to close out the season than to talk about America’s favorite pastime: RPG Mini Games. From Blitzball to Gwent, mini games have been a staple in the foundation of good gaming experiences....
-
32. Castlevania Deep Dive feat. Professor Bopper!
Castlevania is another one of those series that has been around since the dawn of console gaming. Tales of Belmonts, whips, vampires, and crypts. The notoriety of its design grew so large that it even spawned its own sub-genre. Though the series has turned to dust, its image has been resurrected…
more -
Zelda: The Minish Cap | BONUS XP 26
The Legend of Zelda series has had its fair share of styles, but none contain as much whimsy as The Minish Cap. MC was released in 2004 but has recently resurfaced on the Nintendo Switch Online. On this episode of Bonus XP, we go over why this entry in the Zelda pantheon deserves a lot more…
more -
31. Random Encounters feat. Aidan Moher
How many times have you been galavanting about on a world map only to be jumped by 3 over-leveled dragons that make chopsticks out of your bones? Or have you been in a cave where every 10 steps you run into the exact same group of monsters you just fought? Encounters come in many shapes and…
more -
Star Fox 64 | BONUS XP 25
You won’t need to use the boost to get through this episode of RPGaymer! Star Fox 64 is a certified banger. Nintendo’s first foray into 3D may have had its fair share of clunk, but you can’t deny that they nailed this one. It’s one of those pinnacle titles on the N64 that not only was super...
-
30. The SNES Episode feat. Davidvinc!
The Super Nintendo is easily the best system ever made, right? No? 😂 For many of us who grew up in the 90s, the SNES was the first system that let the world know that video games could transcend being purely medias of basic entertainment. Stories got better. Graphics got prettier. And, music...
-
29. Status Effects feat. KBash!
We all hate status effects, right? There’s nothing worse than being caught in the middle of a dungeon without any antidotes to cure your poison. They can single-handedly turn mild encounters into merciless romps. But would video games be interesting if we removed status effects completely? Do…
more -
Ocarina of Time | BONUS XP 24
You can never have enough Legends of Zelda content, right? This time on Bonus XP, we're highlighting oldie and genre-defining goodie: Ocarina of Time!
-
28. Working in the Gaming Industry feat. Brendan Hesse
Working in the gaming industry is a dream for so many people. You get to play games for a living, what's not to love, right? Hosts Casey, Jason, and special guest Brendan Hesse from The Crawl all have unique experience writing and creating video game content like reviews, social media posts,...
-
Dragon Quest XI | BONUS XP 023
We're continuing with the Dragon Quest train, but this time, we're going to dive a little deeper into arguably (but not really arguably) one of the best RPGs ever made. From the well-rounded cast of characters to the vibrant visuals, Dragon Quest XI should be a staple in every RPG lover's…
more -
27. Roguelikes
Not many games are as addictive as Roguelikes. The hook. The loop. The death. Repeat. Roguelikes and Roguelites have been around for quite some time now and have broadened into as much of a subgenre as RPGs. They are equally as frustrating as they are enjoyable (looking at you Darkest Dungeon…
more -
Dragon Quest Side Games | BONUS XP 022
GC Vazquez & Cullen are back yet again to talk even more about Dragon Quest! This time we're taking a deep dive into the side games, like Monsters, Heroes, Swords, and Builders. Plus, we even spill some behind-the-scenes tea about Dragon Quest's former music composer.
-
26. The Dragon Quest Series feat. GC Vazquez and Cullen!
Dragon Quest is the childhood bedtime story of video games. Each entry is filled with the utmost comfort and familiarity, packed with adorable characters and creatures. All of its stories are parables of hope when things feel hopeless. With over 40 games in its complete library, Dragon Quest is...
-
Zelda: A Link to the Past | BONUS XP 021
In honor of the upcoming release of Legends of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, we decided to give you a dose of one of our favorite entries with everyone’s favorite Hylian Hero. Released in ‘91, A Link To The Past may be among the oldest entries in the franchise, but don’t let its age fool you…
more -
25. PS1 RPGs feat. Gaming Broductions!
The original PlayStation is likely the most loaded system in terms of RPGs. From titles like Legends of Dragoon, Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy 7, and so many more, this system was known for housing banger after banger. I’m honestly surprised it took us this long to talk about how the PS1 era was…
more -
Is Vivi FF9's best character? | BONUS XP 020
Apparently, we can’t get enough of Final Fantasy 9 because here we are analyzing, not only one of the best Final Fantasy characters but one of the best RPG heroes of all time. Kicking off our very first Bonus XP character analysis, there’s no better character to talk about than everyone’s…

24. Leveling Up
You know that feeling you get when you achieve something? Like, doing something over and over again until you see results? Isn’t that feeling great? Obviously by ‘achieving something’, I mean leveling up. And by ‘over and over again,’ you know I’m talking about that 400th slime you just...
-
Mario 65 Ain't Dead! | BONUS XP 019
With the Mario movie finally upon us, we wanted to take a moment and pay homage to this titan of a series! Mario 64 was certainly not our first Mario game, nor is it the best of the series, but it is still iconic. Mario's first foray into 3D might be a little rough by today's standards, but the...
-
23. Worst Games You've Ever Played
Bad games. We’ve all played them. From the clunkiest platformers to the junkiest battle systems, bad games always find their way into innocent gamers' hands. There are so many ways to determine if a game is bad. Do you look at reviewer scores? Do you stop playing it once it is no longer fun? Are...

Hype or Ripe: New Legends of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Preview
