The JRPG genre is known for its cult classics that shaped modern gaming styles. Titles like Mother (or Earthbound in the West) and the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona series are prime examples. So, what do you get when you combine their elements? The result is Bloomtown: A Different Story, available now for mobile devices.
This pixel-art JRPG received significant attention upon its debut last year. Now, mobile players can experience it firsthand to see what the excitement is all about. Set in the peaceful town of Bloomtown, you step into the shoes of Emily, who visits this picturesque 1960s location for a summer vacation with her brother.
Of course, not everything is as it appears. When children begin to vanish, Emily and her friends must uncover the truth and stop the mysterious events unfolding. However, a demonic realm lurks beneath Bloomtown's idyllic surface, making their mission far from simple.
Bloomin' hell!
The parallels to Persona and Mother are intentional and meaningful. As you explore this 1960s small town and experience a child's battle against supernatural threats that adults ignore, you'll also engage in strategic combat reminiscent of the Persona series.
To fight the encroaching darkness, you must summon your inner demons, befriend creatures from the Underside, and turn them against their former allies. All this happens while you soak in the atmosphere of Bloomtown, trying to enjoy your summer vacation while tasked with saving the world.
Bloomtown serves as an excellent introduction for newcomers to the JRPG-inspired genre. If you enjoy it, you might want to explore more titles. Check out our list of the best Android RPGs for further recommendations.
