RPGs That Prove Old-School Combat Isn’t Dead
Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius
In truth there are quite a few Final Fantasy mobile games that have achieved huge success; Mobius Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy Record Keeper, Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia, and most of all, Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius.
As of April 2018, Brave Exvius has hit 30 million downloads, no small feat for any mobile game, and it continues to enjoy an active user base. Brave Exvius sports an original story and turn-based combat that has you collecting characters from across the Final Fantasy universe. There have been collaborations with other Square Enix games like Just Cause, Deus Ex, and Valkyrie Profile and even a few collaboration out of left field like Ariana Grande. The bite-sized gameplay of Brave Exvius works perfectly for quick turn-based battles. Combat is a little simplified from what a normal RPG would have, but the hardboiled nostalgia of Brave Exvius works well alongside a combat system designed to be quick.
