    Nestalgia is an anachronistic MMORPG, an interesting experiment designed by a great and inspired indie team. Great for older NES-style fans, uninteresting for the youngest players. If you were born before 1989, you'll love it.

I found it to be a charming throwback to the original JRPG days. It's very easy to get into and grouping is quite seamless so while it is challenging it's very smooth. The multiplayer turn based combat system is pretty good and entertaining. If you liked old school RPG's like Dragon Warrior you will be pleasantly surprised.… Expand

    NEStalgia is a throwback to the 8-bit JRPG days (i.e. Final Fantasy); back when writing to kept to a minimum, as well as the story. While theNEStalgia is a throwback to the 8-bit JRPG days (i.e. Final Fantasy); back when writing to kept to a minimum, as well as the story. While the story and writing is a letdown the gameplay makes up for that. You have 8 classes to choose from each one sports a different gameplay, and stats. I really enjoyed this title and i'm happy to add it to my collection, if you're a fan a JRPG's you'll enjoy just as much as I did.… Expand

Unless you like endless grinding to level up and get the items money and companions you need, just to have the server be vacated. Then you can start all over again on a new server.… Expand

The gameplay is boring and only really appeals to nostalgia, and the writing is bad, even for a MMO. The art ranges from boring to decent at times, but never captures the same feeling of the games that NEStalgia is copying. Finally, a lifetime subscription based game, the game has gone over a year at times without content updates.

    The community and moderation team is also abhorrent and any criticism against the game will result in you getting shouted down if not temp banned. The game's creator has released personal information about a subscriber who was criticising the game on an off-site forum.

    Goes on sale more than it gets updated, which isn't saying much since it hasn't been updated in almost two years.

This game just barely passes as a lazy example of devs using the term "nostalgia" as a excuse for poor game design, and lack of a budget for art.

    Oh well, it's $12 that I'll never get back.    … Expand
