Ever since I started playing a couple of Nihon Falcom’s games last year, I became a huge fan of the studio in a matter of seconds. From the Ys series’ fast-paced combat to The Legend of Heroes titles’ world-building aspects, there’s something about their stuff that manages to get many players invested in their creations.
The thing that makes Xanadu Next, a spinoff of Xanadu: Dragon Slayer II, an appealing title is that it feels like a mix between The Legend of Zelda, Diablo, and the Iga Castlevania games. An interesting thing about this vibe is that it's linked to the original Dragon Slayer, which contained many ideas that likely influenced the original Zelda and Metroid, such as its exploration format and the ability to overcome certain trials with specific items.
