Rampant Games - Indie Roundup

[Dhruin]

Time for a new indie roundup at Rampant Games (http://rampantgames.com/blog/?p=1192). As usual, there's a bunch of games we cover regularly, as well as a bunch of RPGMaker, jRPG and other titles we don't. Among the ones we haven't covered is Recettear, which seems to be getting a reaction on various forums to their demo.
More information. (http://www.rpgwatch.com/show/newsbit?newsbit=15750)

Yeah, I don't think I scooped you on any of the western-style RPGs this time. Maybe next time.

We just need more western-style RPGs!!!

Don't get me wrong, I love a good JRPG-style game, especially some of the more inventive-sounding ones like Recettear and Magical Diary, but the JRPG style pretty much dominates the indie scene.

That's actually not so unique it was featured in Dragon Quest 3 or was it 4? , but it is interesting to take the idea further anyway.
