The heyday of blockbuster turn-based RPGs may be well in the past, but on the indie side, the genre is still alive and well.
The anime-inspired RPG Wander Stars has a short closed beta ahead of its August 1 release.
In Wander Stars, you play as Ringo, a precocious kid living with her incredibly jacked grandma in an isolated town.
Even in great turn-based RPGs, it’s not uncommon to get stuck in a loop of doing the exact same thing every fight, because it’s what works best.
Wander Stars’ limited beta offers the game’s first three chapters, while a public demo shows off only its first.
