95 - Grim Fandango Part I
RPGFan's Retro Encounter
08/11/17 • 66 min
Retro Encounter gets spooky in August with a playthrough of the classic 1998 LucasArts adventure game, Grim Fandango. Snappy dialog, obtuse puzzles, aggressive fiery beavers, and mysterious cat races all make an appearance in Grim Fandango's first two days, as Manny Calavera seeks justice for himself and his clients.

424 - Top Eleven PS4 RPGs
RPGFan's Retro Encounter
07/04/24 • 157 min
PlayStation IV: A New Hope
The PlayStation 4 was a massively successful console, with incredible sales, an official lifespan of seven years, and game releases continuing to the present day. And moreso than its predecessor, the PS4 had a rich selection of RPGs. Today, four Retro Encounter panelists each composed individual top ten lists of PS4 RPGs, and then collated those individual lists into a final top eleven (there was a tie). In this episode, our panel goes over their thoughts and feelings on these eleven titles, plus a few extras and honorable mentions. So what fan favorites make the list, or fail to make the list? Listen and find out!

421 - Grandia II Part I
RPGFan's Retro Encounter
06/13/24 • 61 min
Inside every cynic, there is a disappointed idealist.
Grandia II felt like an RPG ahead of its time in 2000, with sophisticated active-time battles, smart underlying systems, and clever writing anchored by Ryudo, Grandia II's sarcastic protagonist. Today's episode of Retro Encounter discusses the characters, mechanics, and first-half story of Grandia II, especially how its modern touches and angst contrast against the earnest optimism of the first Grandia.

428 - Undertale Revisited
RPGFan's Retro Encounter
08/01/24 • 94 min
Despite everything, it's still Retro Encounter.
Over six years ago, we got together to chat about the instant indie class, Undertale. But, Undertale's staying power is so strong that we decided to get together and chat about it again, this time with an all new panel. Is Papyrus still delightful every time he comes on screen? Did any of us have the heart to do a Genocide run? Hot dog? Listen in to find out!

RPGFan's Retro Encounter
06/20/24 • 77 min

85 - A Bird Story
RPGFan's Retro Encounter
06/01/17 • 29 min
A Bird Story, Kan Gao's second indie hit, is a preview for the upcoming game Finding Paradise, but is a beautiful silent film of a game in its own right. With zero lines of dialog and a runtime of under 90 minutes, A Bird Story won't take up much time to play, but it quickly seized the hearts of these two Retro Encounter panelists.
