Endless Grades: Pixel Saga is a retro-inspired take on the JRPG genre, out now on Android

If you're in the market for a retro-inspired JRPG, there's a fresh face in the niche but bold subgenre that you might want to check out. Endless Grades: Pixel Saga isn't about college exams, but it certainly offers plenty of "homework" in the form of engaging gameplay that's now available on Android and set to hit iOS on April 1st.

Endless Grades: Pixel Saga taps into the nostalgia of classic JRPGs, delivering visuals that, while not as crisp as Octopath Traveler, are still quite charming. You'll embark on a journey to collect distinctive heroes, craft your own equipment, and battle through dungeons. This game promises a deep dive into the world of retro gaming with modern twists.

One potential sticking point for some players might be the game's reliance on auto-battler mechanics, which can be divisive. However, if you're a fan of this feature and are looking for a fresh, aesthetically pleasing take on the JRPG mobile genre, Endless Grades could be worth exploring.

With features like character collecting and crafting mechanics, Endless Grades: Pixel Saga seems to have a lot to offer new players. However, it's worth noting the game's emphasis on high SSR pull rates, which some might find a bit overstated. It might be more impactful for the developers to let this impressive retro-inspired RPG shine on its own merits.
