Nostalgia, as its name suggests, is a throwback to JRPGs of old. This is an interesting concept, but in today’s age of innovation in RPGs, the game feels extremely archaic and uninspired. The game, developed by Red Entertainment and Matrix Software, is set in an alternate history 19th century Earth during an age of steam, airships, magic, and adventure. The main character of the game is Eddie Brown, the son of a famous adventurer who has gone missing. Eddie takes his father’s airship and leaves on an adventure to find out what happened to his father. Along the way, Eddie meets Pad, a street urchin; Melody, a magician girl from a secluded town of magicians; and Feona, a girl with mysterious powers.
