Test Chamber – Relive The Past With I Am Setsuna
Many fans of role-playing games have a soft spot for the adventures of yesteryear, and I Am Setsuna attempts to recapture some of the genre's sensibilities from the '90s. Developer Tokyo RPG Factory looked to classics like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy when crafting this bittersweet tale of sacrifice and friendship.
Join Kimberley Wallace and Joe Juba as they look at this homage to classic RPGs. It has lots of familiar components: turn-based combat, complex skill systems, combo attacks, and a tragic swordsman. It's not perfect, but I Am Setsuna might satisfy your craving for traditional world-saving.
Check out the video below, and if you still aren't sure, you can read our full review of the game.
