Check out our top picks for the best JRPG games on the Steam Summer Sale 2024.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink – 30% off
Description: A grand adventure in the skies awaits! Form a party of four from a diverse roster of skyfarers and slash—or shoot or hex—your way to victory against treacherous foes in this action RPG. Take on quests solo or with the help of others in up to 4-player co-op play!
We gave Granblue Fantasy: Relink a 9/10 on our review, and it's 100% worth it considering the discount. Whether you're a long-time fan of the game from the mobile browser version or discovered it through Granblue Fantasy Versus, GBF Relink offers a fresh perspective and a new story set in this fantastical world.
The ensemble, with protagonist Gran or Djeeta, Lyria, Rosetta, Rackam, Io and more has amazing synergy and the banter is nice to listen to as you explore the various areas. The battle is also worthy of praise, with its roster consisting of over a dozen characters (and is still growing!) all distinct in gameplay and fighting styles. With a whole world and a lot of characters, there's guaranteed something for you to fall in love with.
Description: Dive into the Dark Hour and awaken the depths of your heart. Persona 3 Reload is a captivating reimagining of the genre-defining RPG, reborn for the modern era with cutting-edge graphics and gameplay.
Persona 3 Reload is the remake of the JRPG classic. It stays faithful to the original game story-wise, but it features improvements and quality-of-life optimizations that the series has learned from, especially Persona 5. With the upcoming release of the final wave of the DLC that includes Episode Aigis: The Answer, this is the perfect time to pick up Persona 3 Reload.
P3R only has one ending, but you're still guaranteed at least a hundred hours of playtime. Even at that point, you would not have gotten to experience 100% of what this game has to offer.
FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE – 50% off
Description: Cloud Strife, an ex-SOLDIER operative, descends on the mako-powered city of Midgar. The world of the timeless classic FINAL FANTASY VII is reborn, using cutting-edge graphics technology, a new battle system and an additional adventure featuring Yuffie Kisaragi.
When you think of Final Fantasy, Cloud Strife and his crew would always be the first thing that comes to mind. With the release of Final Fantasy 7 Remake: INTERGRADE on Steam, PC players will now have access to the world of Gaia and be able to experience a modern reimagining of a Final Fantasy classic. Complete with a revamped Active Turn-Based system and stunning new models and graphics, the game is set to impress new players and delight returning fans of the original.
The game also features the INTERGRADE DLC, allowing you to play as the striking ninja from Wutai, Yuffie Kisaragi. She arrives in Midgar to complete a mission critical to aiding Wutai in the upcoming war against Shinra.
It's also a good idea to get the first game in the Remake trilogy now to be well-prepared by the time the second game, Rebirth, hits PCs and other platforms.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth – 30% off
Description: Two larger-than-life heroes, Ichiban Kasuga and Kazuma Kiryu are brought together by the hand of fate, or perhaps something more sinister… Live it up in Japan and explore all that Hawaii has to offer in an RPG adventure so big it spans the Pacific.
Ichiban Kasuga and Kazuma Kiryu, together. Enough said.
Only released earlier this year, this is a good time to pick up Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth if you haven't had the chance to yet.
