TOP 18 STUNNING Upcoming 2D RPG Games Will Entertain You For a Long Time 

Thank you for compiling this exceptional list of RPG titles

added a few to my buy list, thanks for the recommendations ;)

These games look very promising. Great video!

Played bloomtown demo and I got serious persona2 meets cozy games vibes. Love it and hyping.

these all look gorgeous

is Eiyuden Chronicles coming out this year, i think its been years since I backed that kickstarter. I think they said it should be out this year or next. looking forward to that.

A few good looking games, then a surprisingly large number of maybe decent tactical RPGs.

Thanks for shouting out Quartet, much appreciated! We are also planning a Switch release.

The problem with 2D and game app development, is the fact you're using mainly textures and that cost a lot of memory. When using 3D graphics, you're mainly using memory to hold vertex data and that is much cheaper than texture data. Consider this... You have a 2D character that moves in eight directions, lets say a run animation of 8 frames. That's 8 x 8, which is 64 textures and that's just for the one animation set. With 3D, you have one geometry that gets transformed to every frame and you can rotate that geometry in any direction, so therefore, you have the full 360 directional movement on every angle, just by transforming the one mesh. It's not hard to see why 2D graphics is more expensive when it comes to game design.

Beloved Rapture is sooo Wild Arms coded! XD reminds me of the first Wild Arms, it's sooo nostalgiccc

and my wishlist grows and grows!

Core Keeper and Rabbit & Steel are the best indie coop games ive played this year. Core Keeper is basically a deep diving action rpg with numerous builds to play around whilst having a crafting, mining,sandbox, looter aspect. Rabbit and Steel is basically FFXIV Raids but without the initial grind, just straight to coop raiding.

Hio it is possibel to reccoment you games for you to ceck out and that they maiby com up in a future video?? i know of one with a demo to test ^^

thank you for showing this list.. i would advise to make sure that the names are accurate if you are not going to provide links.. I was trying to find World of Anterra on Steam and thought it may be in a different status. But as you had added The at the beginning and I was searching for that, it didn't come up with that.

Hey, cool video man! What is the name of the game in the thumbnail? Or is it a fan image? That one looks sick!

great vid. thanks! also, i could listen to you speak all day. you should get into voice acting and/or ASMR. :P

Nintendo really needs to make another Earthbound game. The only version that came to Western countries was beloved. Capcom also needs to make a new Breath of Fire. Dragon Quarter failed, but that's because they took it into a different direction that made it not feel like BoF anymore.

Beloved Rapture! Definitely adding that one to backlog. Looks like loads of fun. Tons of cool looking games I'd never heard of before. Thanks for sharing!. Cool channel!

wow world of anterra looks tasty

One that I don't see brought up much that I have my eye on is Hymn to the Earless God, made by the creator of Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass (not sure if it's just them again or if there's other people working on it too, I think there's a team this time around but it's usually just the one developer) Really liked Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass so I have my hopes up.

Beloved Rapture looks amazing. Such a shame it is pc only.

Alterium Shift is also coming to Switch, isn't it?

I have to play my familiar off that song alone lol.

I want to play a Digimon survival RPG game, unfortunately Bandai only makes battle and turn-based games. 🎉

Wait, why is Sword of Convallaria no longer on Console? I cant find that information anywhere, is it delayed or cancelled?

Thank you for the Beloved Rapture shoutout! Yes, it is currently planned to be PC only. It's RPGMaker origins are quite limiting in that way. Once we've cleared an initial release, we'll definitely be exploring whether console ports will be both technically/financially viable - as it could require largely remaking the game. Here's hoping!!

Beloved Rapture is looking nice. Hard to believe it started off as just another RPG Maker 2k3 game back in 2010 or so. But seems they've really done a lot of work with it since earlier concept / demo. That and Ara Fell!

Which game is with that blue dragon?

World of Anterra　switch have？

this guy telling people a game no one has played is "easily a 10 out of 10". jesus. stop.

You forgot Skuld: Against The Black Priory.

Is it on mobile?

problem is that all this is low budget so cant expect anything spectacular than we already see

Beloved Rapture looks awesome! It's reminiscent of RPG Maker 2000 and 2003 games, from the artstyle alone.

I loe these game remaster 😩 on Nintendo switch or ps5

No TerraProject from the creator of CrossCode ? No Chef Rpg ? Super Zoo Story ? Haunted Chocolatier ?

Beloved Rapture and Sword of Convallaria are definitely on my watch list.

What's the game in the thumbnail?

beloved rapture , no for consoles ?? this is a big error i like it

Hay algunos que visualmente no se ven muy prometedores de hecho un poco decepcionantes. Incluso chrono trigger se ve mucho mejor.

I have grown to specifically dislike rpgmaker games. But Beloved Rapture seems alright, and I might actually give it a try. Correct me if I'm wrong though, because it does look like an rpgmaker game to me.

Terra memoria.

Ugh pretty much all for PC and I got a digital storm pc but I've left it to rot because I can't stand pc players anymore and while I won't have to deal with pc players in single player games I just don't care to support it because if the player base. I turn cross play off in everything so much more peaceful lol.

Never support Early Access, and never pre-order anything. People still don't learn.

why do all these characters look like children's dolls with huge heads erc?

PC...

Fake thumbnail?

Playing Chrono Trigger, no thanks

Octopath traveler 2 ruined all other games for me. These games look so bland now.

Because that is definitely what we need in 2024, more games pushing lgbtq approved content.

American “jrpg” :/…

Looks like a bunch of doo doo

3:12 He is rating a lgtb game so high without even playing it. These pro lgtv guys have zero critism about their games

I don't know about the rest of you, but I can't stand this TBA-CRAP ... I am not interessted in Games that don't release in the next 3 months. I love shadow drops. There should be just shadow drops. Games change too much over time or never get released. Push them out when they are ready, don't fool you fanbase into "wishlisting" your crappy game for 5 years.

Wait, did you just say LGBTQ at the beginning of the video here? Oh, man, this bullcrap invaded even my only way of escapism from this world...

Who wants a gay/trans propaganda as an RPG? lol

"LGBTQ themes and characters..." And skip that one.
