Pixelot is a classic-style RPG that combines the best elements of retro role-playing games into a cohesive mobile experience. Players begin by creating a custom hero from six initial classes, eventually recruiting a party of over 30 unique characters. The game world is vast, featuring 15 dungeons and hundreds of items to collect. With a focus on strategic turn-based combat and class promotions at level 60, Pixelot offers a nostalgic yet polished journey through a land threatened by darkness.

Our Expert Score

88/100

Pixelot is a refreshing love letter to the 16-bit era of RPGs, managing to capture the charm of classics like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest while feeling perfectly tailored for mobile play. As an expert in the genre, what strikes me most is the game's deceptive depth; while the pixel art is simple, the character customization and class promotion systems are robust. You start by creating a custom hero, but the real joy lies in recruiting a massive roster of over 30 unique characters, each fitting into a specific strategic niche.

The game avoids the 'fluff' of modern mobile RPGs—there are no predatory gacha mechanics here, just pure exploration and turn-based combat. Navigating through the 250+ maps and 15 dungeons feels rewarding, especially with the 'Infinite Tower' for end-game challenges. The dialogue is witty and self-aware, which keeps the tone light even as you’re hunting down elemental crystals to save the world. If you miss the days when RPGs were about discovery and party synergy rather than daily logins, Pixelot is an absolute gem.

Just what I needed
Tue May 28 2024 kubokor

I’m always looking for good side battlers and this gets it right in so many ways. Pros: Typical but short story. No drawn out boring streams of text. Amazing mechanics from the simple but effective stat system to the quick friendly interface. Nothing is wasted or excessive. Fast flashy battles. Such thoughtful variety of characters and ability sets. So many different possibilities for teams. Again, nothing feels wasted or left out. All characters have value in some situation. Satisfying mix of relic abilities. Great endgame content. I found myself leveling everyone to 100 and maxing out all the end level gear to +3 (did you notice the color scheme for item strength?) so I could squeeze that little extra power and push one more floor of the dark tower. Cons: character acquisition is too spread out. Should confine to first half of game. (Although this doesn’t matter for endgame stuff) The ultimate spear falls flat with its special bonus. Wish list: Adjustable auto play feature Adjustable load outs for teams so I don’t have to constantly strip and rearm my characters. MORE LEVELS AND GEAR PLEEEASE! In other words, more game!!

Highly entertaining mobile rpg

I’m tremendously impressed with the thought that went into how this game plays on a mobile device. It autosaves your progress frequently. The battles move quickly and even boss fights can be easily completed “on mobile time”. I really enjoy the traditional turn based “jrpg” gameplay. You can recruit a wide variety of party members that all have different attacks and abilities. My one wish would be that characters “on the bench” would earn exp like the active party. There are many interesting characters but I only used a few given no one else was leveled. Can’t wait for the final chapter!

This game gets right what say many RPGs on this platform just miss. The interface is snappy, you get into the action quick, there is a good balance in customization and collection. If I had one “request” for the developer, it would be to develop a portrait orientation for the game. Granted, this is likely no small ask, but this game is so playable and charming, I would love to be able to play it with one hand while walking or eating a hamburger

Really easy to get, and has a lot of replay-ability

Makes you want create multiple characters but also has a robust number of classes that you pick up in game to still make it feel like you have a lot of choices to play one game

love it

it'd be nice if you could select a certain attack for each character to have pre-selected (just to speed along wild encounters (with AoE attacks)) but other than that I haven't wanted for anything in this game

Cool game

I like it so far. Several hours in, it’s a bit on the easy side. If you like retro Pokémon or Final Fantasy games it’s really fun. I don’t think there’s an option to turn audio off though, and it’s very linear progress.

So Refreshing

I love how mobile oriented this game is. Very easy to pick up and play. Characters in your pool all level up with your team and auto saves are very frequent. Love it

Could be the best.

No controller support, no button making me hold my thumb over half the screen I don’t ever see what I an fighting. Please add controller support. Make it a DLC I’ll pay.
