Amazing lineup! Lie of Caelum looks absolutely like a gem and I'll be picking up One Fenix Down day one! I'd also recommend checking out 5th Era, Moonfell Tides of Aether, Zenogaias, Valley of Rains, Starless Umbra, Destiny Spire, Echoes of Aromia, Tales from Frah'Akin. and Our Dying World for a future possible video on indie RPGs that are doing things different.

The perspective in Robot Rhapsody reminds me heavily of Sea of Stars.

Infinite alliance remind me of Project X zone on the 3DS, which had characters from Capcom, Namco Bandai and Sega pile into one universe. That was a fun game, hope this one hits the right notes as well.

I'd like to recommend a little gem called <i>Last Days of Tsufana</i> . <br><br>Evil has won, people are becoming monsters and being killed enmasse by those who rule with iron fists and iron hearts. You play as a brother and sister team in a world that is nearing its end. After losing everyone they knew and loved, they reach out to the only person they have left. Their goal? Take down the evil ruler of the world to avenge their lost love ones and maybe find a way to stop the end of the world. <br><br>It's a classic jRPG with a dark story, very DQ-esque in graphical style. Made by Ephiam, the developer behind Scarmonde, Venaitura and To Aerthen the game is set in the same world as Venaitura. There's a demo out at the moment. <br><br>Honestly, all his games are pretty fire, but I'd recommend if you're interested to give Scarmonde and Venaitura a try. Scarmonde has a random dungeon mode that you can access from the start and gives you a lot of flexibility in party creation. Venaitura is set in the same world and is just really well-written. I think I described it once as "basically Dragon Quest meets depression, but with the choice to make a party of dogs."

Great list of games. <br>One Fenix Down looks really good. I backed it on Kickstarter. <br>Infinite Alliance looks incredible. I've played most of the games featured in it and own all of them that are out.<br>Saveseeker looks really interesting. I love the concept. <br>Stratagem Lost has a crazy cool art style and the combat looks fun. <br>Robot Rhapsody looks RAD! I love the art and character design and we need more sci fi RPGs. I backed it as well. <br>Forge of the Fae has an incredible art direction. Oozes Celtic awesomeness. I backed it as well. <br>Xenogears is such an iconic game that anything that takes inspiration from it is going to catch my attention and Lie of Caelum looks great. I backed it as well. <br>Full circle has great art style and the company looks really interesting and fun.
