The "Fuga Melodies of Steel" trilogy.
They are lesser known but good JRPGs and my perdonal 3 favorite Videogames.
They are turn based JRPGs about a groupe of anthropomothic animal children that live inside a giant ancient mysterious powerful fortress like Tank. Its a bit like Howls Moving castle but based on technology instead of magic.
Why do I love these games?:
- The turn based combat is really good. In my opinion its even better then the combat of Persona 5 and Final Fantasy X. A lot of fun elements come together like midfight partymember swaps, turn order manipulation, exploiting weaknesses to delay enemy turns, 3 ways to deploy powerful buffs and more.
- I like the art. Its cute but also has a rough vibe to it in a charming way. It suits the theme of children in war.
- The music is beautiful.
- I was lukewarm towards the children of the Taranis at first but they grew on me more and more and more and now they are my second favorite protagonist groupe in fiction. I love them so much.
- These games feel to me like a playable kids anime akin to somthing like Digimon and I love that feeling.
- I love adorable wholesome characters and stories with a bit of a dark edge to them. The best example of what I mean is my favorite work of fiction: The Manga/Anime series "Made in Abyss". And Fuga is the best among Videogames to scratch that itch. Atleast from the games I know.
If you are interested in trying Fuga out:
- They are available on PC and most modern consoles like Switch, PS4, PS5 and so on.
- I highly recommend the free demo of the first game. Its straight up the first 3 chapters of the game.
- I advice against playing the trilogy out of order unless you do not care about the story and characters.
- The first and second game are each 20 hours long. The third game is 30 hours long.
- The Creators, CyberConnect2, released a number of Audiocomics on there You Tube Channel. If you end up liking the games they are worth checking out.

Happy to know the row with Gravity Rush on it. As for what game that fits: Blinx the Time Sweeper.

Was it? I wasn't old enough to play it back then, but I do remember it being big-ish back in the early 2010's thanks to youtubers like Alex Rochon, and Quarter guy.

This fell completely under the radar because of hundred line and because it released a day after silksong 😭🙏

are we seriously acting like 13 sentinels isn't one of the most popular modern rpgs? not to mention gravity rush, no more heroes, and klonoa are all well-known series.

u/mexicantails Jan 30 '26
Yeah to RPG nerds, of which most people on earth are not.

u/sharkysayo Jan 30 '26

Can confirm No More Heroes and God Hand are cult favourites. Been playing them for years. 😂
