Geo Mythica is a charming 8-bit style JRPG quest to save Earth with unique party-based combat

Love classic RPGs? You might want to check out the newly released Geo Mythica, with some great looking 8-bit styled artwork and a quite unique sounding party-based combat system.

What makes it quite unique is how it combines a party system with real-time action, but you also stop it in its tracks to issue strategic commands. There's also some nice looking retro animated cut-scenes too, it honestly just looks great. Seems like I game I would have absolutely jumped at the chance to play when I was younger, nice to see more of these quality retro-inspired titles continue to pop up.
