If you're a fan of retro-inspired JRPGs, then you'll want to check out Endless Grades: Pixel Saga, a new title that's now available on Android and set to launch on iOS on April 1st. Don't let the name fool you—this game isn't about school exams, but rather a nostalgic journey through the classic JRPG genre.
Endless Grades: Pixel Saga embraces the charm of old-school RPGs, with pixel art that, while not as visually detailed as something like Octopath Traveler, still manages to capture the essence of the genre. As you play, you'll collect unique heroes, craft your own equipment, and delve into dungeons to battle demons and gather materials for upgrades.
One aspect that might divide players is the game's use of auto-battler mechanics. While this feature can be contentious, if you enjoy auto-battlers and are looking for a fresh take on the JRPG genre, Endless Grades could be worth exploring.

Endless Grades offers a comprehensive JRPG experience, complete with character collection and crafting systems. However, the game's marketing sometimes focuses on high SSR pull rates, which can come across as a bit boastful. It might be more appealing if the developers let the game's retro-inspired charm speak for itself.
