Is Growlanser V - Generations still worth playing in 2026?
A tactical RPG from Career Soft and Atlus, this Growlanser blends real time battles on the field, where placement and timing come first, and branching narration with multiple endings carried by Satoshi Urushihara's character design. The tactical depth, the replayability offered by the choices and the mature writing win over fans of Japanese strategy. The measured pace and a modest production weigh on it. A title for fans of Japanese tactical RPGs and stories with lasting consequences.
