If you're a fan of retro-inspired JRPGs, you'll want to check out the latest addition to the genre: Endless Grades: Pixel Saga. Don't let the name fool you; this game isn't about school exams but rather a nostalgic journey through classic RPG elements, now available on Android and set to launch on iOS on April 1st.
Endless Grades: Pixel Saga taps into the nostalgia of old-school RPGs, offering graphics that, while not as visually stunning as titles like Octopath Traveler, still provide a charming visual experience. In this game, you'll embark on adventures to collect unique heroes, craft your own equipment, and battle through dungeons filled with demons.
One aspect that might divide players is the inclusion of an auto-battler mechanic. While this feature can be controversial, if you enjoy auto-battlers and are looking for a fresh take on the JRPG genre, Endless Grades could be worth exploring.

The game offers a comprehensive experience with features like character collection and crafting, making it appealing to new players. However, the game's marketing touts high SSR pull rates, which some might find a bit off-putting. It would be more impactful for the developers to let the game's retro-inspired charm and solid gameplay speak for itself.
