Best western-made JRPG ?
Looks fun, thanks for the suggestion (and the giveaway!). I thoroughly enjoyed Evoland (played it on my phone as well as Steam), though I'm not going to vote because I haven't played any of the others.

Thanks for bringing this (back) to my attention~! I've got it on my Follow list. Not entering or wishlisting just yet, as I have a ton of RPG's that I really want to play already (that I already own), but it's good to see that it's a fun game!

Um... considering that JRPG stands for Japanese RPG, it's kinda awkward to categorize a game not made in Japan as a JRPG. XD
Also it's hard to say which non-JRPG RPGs play similarly to JRPGs since JRPGs are, well- any RPG made in Japan, and thus aren't exactly restricted to playing in a specific way. ^_^'
Anyway, does CrossCode count? If yes, then I pick that one. :P

This is a good time for a last-minute bump.
Also, thanks to those who brought up more games to check out :)

Once upon a time, there was a comic book artist by the name of Joe Madureira. He drew some cool bits for Marvel at the start of his career, before starting his own creator-owned series Battle Chasers during the late 90's-early 00's comic book boom. Then he moved away from comics for a bit to dabble in video games and help create the Darksiders universe. Then he went back to drawing comics for Marvel a bit more, before founding a new video game studio again in 2015, going by the name of Airship Syndicate.
And their first game was Battle Chasers: Nightwar. Continuing from the original comics from way back when, but after a time skip (to conveniently skip around loose ends the comic left hanging, and mostly visible by the fact that main character Gully has visibly aged up a bit..).
The comics were some of my favorite reading back in the day, and the game looking to be faithful in tone and art style pretty much meant it was an instabuy for me.
The way it plays, despite being made by a USA-based company, is also very much a JRPG, and a pretty competent one at that. Some interesting puzzle bits, turn-based combat with it's own mechanics (a lot revolving around debuffing and playing off the debuffs), characters with strong sets of theme and abilities, somewhat cliche but no less entertaining storyline, various bonus objectives etc.
Suffice to say, I spent enough time with this one at the start of 2018, and thus I want to bring it to more people's attention.
Oh, and because this is Steamgifts, I figured I'd not only share my opinion, but also the game itself
Also, while we're on the topic of Western made games that play like JRPGs... Which one is your favorite?
