If you're a fan of retro-inspired JRPGs, then you'll want to check out the latest addition to the genre: Endless Grades: Pixel Saga. Don't let the name fool you—this game isn't about college exams, but it does come with its own set of challenges that will keep you engaged. Available now on Android and set to hit iOS on April 1st, Endless Grades offers a nostalgic journey through its pixelated world.
Endless Grades: Pixel Saga taps into the nostalgia of classic RPGs, with graphics that, while not as visually stunning as something like Octopath Traveler, still manage to be quite charming. You'll explore the game world, collecting unique heroes, crafting your own equipment, and diving into dungeons to gather materials and battle demons.
One potential point of contention might be the game's use of auto-battler mechanics, which can be a divisive feature among gamers. However, if you enjoy auto-battlers and are looking for a fresh take on the mobile JRPG genre, Endless Grades could be right up your alley.
With a variety of features including hero collection, equipment crafting, and dungeon exploration, Endless Grades seems to have something for every new player. However, the game does mention high SSR pull rates, which some might find a bit too boastful. It would be more compelling if the developers let the game's strong retro-inspired JRPG elements shine on their own merits.
If Endless Grades doesn't quite meet your expectations, don't worry. There's no need to be left hanging. Instead, dive into our curated list of the top 25 best RPGs for iOS and Android, covering a wide range of sub-genres from open-world to turn-based adventures.
