A curse, a hero, and one very bad kidnapping
Overlord Zenon has cursed the land of Veldime, and it is turning into a Netherworld. Only Adell, a young human, is unaffected, so he sets out to break the curse. He summons Zenon himself and gets the Overlord's haughty daughter Rozalin instead. Now he has to drag the princess along to find her father, while demon siblings, a washed-up rock star and rival Overlords complicate every step. The story is a highlight: it plays its melodrama straight while the characters crack jokes, and some of them know perfectly well they are in a video game. The campaign runs a solid 30 to 40 hours and does not demand grinding, so you can just enjoy the ride.
Chess, after a few too many ideas
Beneath the jokes sits a serious tactics game on a grid, with turn-based combat and more options than you can shake a penguin at. You pick from over 200 character classes to build your squad, then stack them: Stack Attack lets characters throw and pile onto each other to reach far squares or set up a combined hit. You can toss an ally across the map, drop them next to an enemy, and end the turn with a squad arranged like a very rude sculpture. The Dark Court flips morality on its head, punishing the good and rewarding the evil, so your choices get a little less heroic over time. And if you want a real test, the Dark World is a hardcore setting where damage numbers reach absurd heights.
