A tactical jRPG inspired by the iconic Final Fantasy Tactics. Arcadian Atlas is set in war-torn Arcadia, where our party must tip the scales of the conflict.
Arcadian Atlas is a tactical jRPG heavily inspired by the genre's greats, especially the iconic Final Fantasy Tactics. It was developed by an indie team Twin Otter Studios and published by Serenity Forge.
Arcadian Atlas is set in a fantasy land of Arcadia, in the midst of a conflict between the queen and the princess trying to take the trone. The protagonists are the rebellious mage Desmond, learning the secrets of Arcadia, and Vashti, the second heir to the throne. Soon, they learn their actions are going to influence the future of the entire realm.
Arcadian Atlas is an isometric game. The players will get to visit various locations, such as beautiful coastal villages, ancient ruins, dense forests and snowy mountains. As we traverse Arcadia, we complete various quests and meet charismatic characters. We can also recruit soldiers and command them in battle. Combat is turn-based, requiring proper positioning of our units and skillful use of our characters' abilities.
As we progress through the game, we develop our characters, allies and troops. Overtime we become more powerful, gaining more specialized classes and new skills. Melee-focused Cavaliers can become Inquisitors or Ronin, spellcasting Warmancers can become Sorcerers or Druids, Rangers become Hunters or Reavers, while Apothecaries advance into Monks or Shamans. Gathering better gear also increases our combat capabilities.
Arcadian Atlas makes use of a colorful, pixel artstyle.

Arcadian Atlas is a solid, concise SRPG crafted with a lot of heart.
Pure Nintendo: 6.5 / 10 by Kirk Hiner
It's probably not good that the most distinctive element of Arcadian Atlas is its jazzy soundtrack, but it's still a decent tactical RPG that provides enough challenge and intrigue to overcome a few missteps. Genre fans will get their money's worth.
Paste Magazine: 6 / 10 by Moises Taveras
There’s nuance in these stories—look to the attempts, successes, and failures of just about any other fantasy RPG—but Arcadian Atlas either doesn’t know that or doesn’t want to admit it in favor of simplistic moralizing. The moment to moment writing falters too, meaning that no matter where you look for growth or substance in the game’s story and characters, you’re bound to smack into walls of derivative tropes and bland archetypes. As much as it wants to resemble the classics, Arcadian Atlas can’t help but feel pared down and simple; in a word, it’s modern, born from a philosophy that subtracts more than it adds before dressing it up to appear otherwise. Yet despite its weaknesses, Arcadian Atlas is easy to pick up and breeze through, ensuring that its brand of tactics-lite gameplay will almost definitely be someone’s gateway into an infinitely more complex and rewarding genre, even if it struggles to conjure those strengths for itself.
