Xanadu NEXT is a fantastic little action RPG from a time when action RPGs were RPGs with real-time action, and not action games with mild RPG elements. It's a modern (at least for 2005) game in body, but in heart & soul, it's a classic RPG from the 80s & early 90s. The game's strengths are less in sheer complexity, and more in its consistent execution of simple ideas, all of which come together to make for an incredibly engaging action RPG from beginning to end. Dungeon crawling? Puzzle-solving? Inventory management? Leveling? Stat allocation? All of it is gracefully handled, only just punishing enough to push you to pay attention and engage with the actual RPG mechanics. The difficulty curve is excellent, and that simple joy of getting stronger from new gear or level ups permeates the entire game - even in its final hours. Its brisk length also ensures none of its mechanics outstay their welcome, bolstered by the same type of tightly-designed gameplay systems that made titles like KH1 and RE4 such robust games to replay. Basically, anyone who fancies themselves an old-school RPG fan owes it to themselves to play Xanadu NEXT.

I am not far in but I am already in love. It has the rpg systems and art style of a Fina Fantasy game, the combat on Diablo, with the dungeon delving/puzzling of Zelda. It might not tie it all together perfectly but what's here is delightful.

This game triggers something on me. A sensation of nostalgia for these old graphics and this style. I love it. The story reflects it's time and I highly recommend if you're looking for a great rpg to play!
