Chained Echoes

Chained Echoes is a retro-styled JRPG with turn-based battles, party building, airships, and a large fantasy world shaped by war and political tension. Combat has a distinctive Overdrive system that rewards staying in the right rhythm rather than just spamming your strongest attacks, and later sections add mech-based fights and exploration. It looks like a 16-bit throwback, but its pacing and quality-of-life features are much more modern. Pick it up if you want a substantial, systems-rich JRPG without random encounters or excessive grinding.
