The alleged decline of the turn-based RPG has been greatly exaggerated. Despite particular high-profile examples going in other directions, there is a long line of recent titles for RPGamers to dive into, so much so that it might be hard for newcomers to stand out. This is not the case for Something Classic Games’s Quartet. Drawing inspiration from classic 16-bit RPGs, the game easily stands on its own two feet. A very intriguing narrative carries players along, and an excellent implementation of the turn-based RPG template makes for an experience that demonstrates why such RPGs have developed their passionate following
Quartet is more than just a homage to classic RPGs, building upon what its predecessors put forth to flourish in its own right.
Although not the most revolutionary RPG, Quartet has great writing, perfect pacing, and is just a very cosy experience that genre fans will love
Great game! Really shocked at how great the review's actually are. Its definitely the year of the JRPG.
