Indie RPG Kenshi Surpasses 3 Million in Sales, Outpacing Some AAA Titles

Kenshi, the challenging sandbox RPG from Lo-Fi Games, has sold over 3 million copies on Steam since its 2018 launch, a milestone that outpaces some AAA titles like Dragon Age: The Veilguard. The game’s dated isometric presentation belies its deep, player-driven systems and survival focus, which continue to draw a dedicated crowd. Lo-Fi Games expressed gratitude to fans, modders, and creators, while outlets such as Rock, Paper, Shotgun and Eurogamer have praised its enduring appeal.

Zero Parades: A Messy Yet Magnetic Spy RPG

ZA/UM’s Zero Parades: For Dead Spies is an uneven but absorbing isometric spy RPG set in the corrupt port town of Portofiro. It blends dense political intrigue with a heavier emphasis on action than Disco Elysium, using gauges for fatigue, anxiety, and delirium that can debuff Hershel and push you toward riskier play. The game nods to its predecessor through a CASCADE-like Thought Cabinet system and rich worldbuilding, but it sometimes loses focus on supporting characters as the plot widens into chaotic detours. Still, its vivid writing, messy charm, and ambitious scope deliver a big, brutal, and memorable experience that asks for patience and immersion.

Zero Parades Earns Warm Reviews as Disco Elysium's Controversial Spiritual Sequel

Initial reviews for Zero Parades: For Dead Spies—meant to be a successor to Disco Elysium—have an average around 83 on Metacritic from 19 critics, with praise for its deep RPG mechanics and character-driven storytelling, while noting it doesn’t fully reach the heights of its predecessor; the reception is tempered by the ongoing ZA/UM controversy surrounding Disco Elysium’s development and departures.

Elliot's Millennium Tales Mixes Mini-Challenges with Big RPG Ambition

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales showcases how thoughtful minigames can elevate a Zelda-inspired action-RPG. Team Asano weaves five ability-based minigames tied to Elliot and his fairy Faie (including Teleport, Ignite, and Sprint) plus a cat-hunting side quest, rewarding players with soundtrack vinyls and other bonuses. The piece also notes how Switch 2 demos — like two JoyCon mouse-driven minigames in a Bravely Default remaster — illustrate the potential of micro-challenges to enrich Square Enix RPGs, while praising the game's expansive world, time-travel twist, and goofy charm that echo classic JRPGs.

Zero Parades Strives for Its Own Spycraft in a Shadow of Disco Elysium

ZA/UM's Zero Parades: For Dead Spies leans into a Disco Elysium–style, combatless RPG but with a spy-thriller twist: a three-faculty system linked to Fatigue, Anxiety, and Delirium, a balance of cigarettes and other consumables to influence checks, and branching quests that reward failure as a path to new outcomes. Its city Portofiro is vibrant and politically charged, and Hershel is a compelling lead, though the inner voices lack distinct personalities and the game sometimes imitates Disco Elysium too closely. Overall, it's a strong, narrative-driven RPG that dips in places but remains well worth playing, earning an 8/10.

Starbites on Switch: Ambitious Mech RPG Derailed by Technical Woes

Starbites aims for a retro, turn-based mech RPG on Switch, pairing accessible combat and likable characters with a world-building premise, but the port is rough: poor visuals, frequent frame drops, numerous bugs, and a tangled narrative sink the experience, making it a middle-of-the-road game at best (4/10).

Dawnwalker Aims for Dense, Time-Respecting Open-World RPG

Dawnwalker, Rebel Wolves' vampiric open-world RPG released by Bandai Namco, is pitched as a dense, character-driven experience that emphasizes player agency over sheer size. Creative director Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz highlights Baldur's Gate 3 as inspiration and describes Dawnwalker as a 'narrative sandbox' with a focused scope that still lets you shape the world through meaningful choices. The game features a time-limit mechanic and is targeting roughly 50–75 hours of playtime, aiming to avoid padding while delivering a living, inhabited world.

Blood of Dawnwalker: Expert Players Can Skips to the End in a Single Run

Eurogamer reports The Blood of Dawnwalker’s freeform structure allows skilled players to skip most content after the Prologue and rush Brencis’ castle to defeat the vampire, potentially reducing a ~50-hour RPG to a much shorter run — but it’s difficult, not intended for first playthroughs, and may cause you to miss large portions of the game and trigger its infamy system. Release is September 3 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
