Love it. It has sort of an old Square vibe from the 90s mixed with some of today’s beautiful graphics. The gameplay is fun, though the story could’ve been a little better. Overall a great buy.

Huge fan of the Final Fantasy releases for SNES and this one brings me back to those. Awesome graphics and gameplay. The story can kind of drag in some areas, but overall, it’s a must buy

This game is great for your oldstyle JRPG aficionados out there. I absolutely love this game! The old style graphics mixed with the 3D backgrounds are a great touch as well.

Octopath Traveler is a fantastic ode to the role playing games of the Super Nintendo era, and yet the game never feels derivative. One of the finest titles available for the Nintendo Switch.

If you enjoy RPGs, I highly recommend picking this one up. It features eight different characters, and they each have their own storyline that eventually meets a combined end goal.

You may not like this game, but if you are a fan of 16 bit style JRPGs, I think you will. It's very similar to the Bravely Default games on 3DS, but takes a different approach to the story.

Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy JRPG's when I was younger. However, I can not put this down, and I see why my friend loved Final Fantasy Tactics back in the PS1 days. Great game, enough said.

If you're like me and remember the glory days of the 16 bit jrpgs with fondness, this is just the game for you. It hits all the right notes with enough modern touches to keep things fresh.

This is an interesting new RPG exclusive to the Switch. I've put in over ten hours and am not even close to being finished with it. Stays challenging too. I would recommend this game.

This game is awesome, it scratches the nostalgia factor with the well implemented graphics and difficulty, but is also clever and deeply strategic. Really fun oldschool RPG!

This game is beautiful and very nostalgic, it takes me back and still keeps it modern with the 3D type world. Good stories and voice acting, will definitely be a classic. Happy Gaming!!!

Nintendo and square have outdone themselves. A classic JRPG with modern updates. This game is simply amazing. If you love games like FF6 or Chrono Trigger then this is the game for you.

Very simple mechanics to get used to but can branch and be used to battle in tons of interesting ways. It never gets dull except for some very old English repetitive dialogue at times.

This is one of the best RPGs square enix has released as of late. It really feels like a classic SNES 16 bit JRPG. The combat is fun, the world is amazing, and the characters are great

Although the main battle mechanic doesn't shift much, the over world play style changes with each character that you control. Investigate the world and find clues, steal gold from under people's noses or recruit villagers to your cause. Each of the 8 main characters offers a unique ability and adds a great variety to the gameplay.
