Wish List was the theme voted for by our Champions Lounge. Users made a wishlist of 3 games they would like to play and someone else “gifts” it by nominating a game off someone’s list! If you want to know more about our GotX program and how to participate, check out my article about that here!

RPGOTQ: Breath of Fire II

Ryu is back for another JRPG adventure! Well kind of, our protagonist shares the name and likeness of the Ryu from the first game, but apparently, they are different. One day Ryu finds everyone in his village has disappeared. He is part of the dragon clan and can transform into a dragon to battle.
This is a great classic JRPG from the SNES days. That being said, the game can feel a bit grindy and also have a ton of random encounters. Luckily there are improvement patches out there that can make the experience even better!
Those are our games this month, so drop by and join us in our Discord as we enjoy another great month of GotM. Which games are you excited to play? Also, we are excited to announce we have teamed up with EmuDeck! Make sure to check them out here.
