    Jack Move is a sensational RPG that won’t take you months to complete, with a gripping story and fantastic combat.

    Jack Move is an abbreviated JRPG that feels as satisfying as some of the longest classics in the genre. With a great, nuanced battle system and a well-developed cyberpunk world, Jack Move shows that you don’t need 50 hours to deliver a great story with memorable characters. This is a game for fans of the 16-bit era of JRPGs, who should not hesitate to pull the trigger.

    Despite being only 9-12 hours long, Jack Move gave me a more fulfilling RPG experience than many 40-50 hour games I’ve played. This game drips with personality in every fiber of its being, and was one of my most enjoyable RPG experiences this year.

    A succinct and well-told story, Jack Move’s character-writing and dialogue are endearing, and its pixel art charms. It’s a short and satisfying bitesize JRPG of around 8 hours for players with a bit less time on their hands or perfect in between 100-hour behemoths.

  1. If you're looking for a small Final Fantasy VII-style fix that will whisk you back to 1997 again before Crisis Core - Final Fantasy VII - Reunion comes out later this year, Jack Move should slot into your gaming library very nicely indeed.

    If you want to play a very good quality JRPG game and not waste 100+ hrs. on that, try Jack Move. Solid story, characters and JRPG mechanics.

    The premise behind this was great and the game would have been pretty good if they just followed through with all the systems and ideasThe premise behind this was great and the game would have been pretty good if they just followed through with all the systems and ideas they've implemented. As it stands, they all fall short, from graphics to sound to gameplay. The worst part are the bland characters and sub par story. Full Review »
