If you're on the hunt for a retro-inspired JRPG, then you'll want to check out the newest addition to this beloved subgenre. *Endless Grades: Pixel Saga* isn't about college exams, but it certainly offers a hefty dose of engaging "homework" as you navigate its nostalgic gameplay. Now available on Android and set to launch on iOS on April 1st, this game brings back the charm of classic JRPGs with a modern twist.

*Endless Grades: Pixel Saga* taps into players' nostalgia for the golden age of RPGs. While its graphics may not match the visual flair of something like *Octopath Traveler*, they still offer a delightful pixel art style that's easy on the eyes. As you journey through the game, you'll collect and upgrade a variety of unique heroes, craft your own equipment, and dive into dungeons to battle demons and gather upgrade materials.

One potential sticking point for some players might be the game's use of auto-battler mechanics, which can be polarizing. However, if you enjoy this feature and are looking for a fresh take on the JRPG mobile genre, *Endless Grades: Pixel Saga* could be worth exploring.

With its comprehensive offerings, from character collection to crafting, *Endless Grades: Pixel Saga* seems to cater well to new players. However, the game's emphasis on high SSR pull rates might feel a bit off-putting to some, as it's often more compelling for games to let their quality shine through without boasting about subjective mechanics.
