The JRPG genre features several cult classics that shaped modern gaming. Titles like Mother (known as Earthbound in the West) and the Shin Megami Tensei Persona series serve as prime examples. What happens when you combine these influences? You get Bloomtown: A Different Story, now available for purchase on mobile.

This pixel-art JRPG generated significant buzz upon its initial release last year. Now mobile players can experience the adventure firsthand and discover why it captured so much attention. Set in the titular Bloomtown, you follow Emily as she travels with her brother to this charming 1960s town for summer vacation.

However, appearances can be deceiving. When local children begin disappearing, Emily must rally her friends to uncover the truth behind these mysterious events. With a demonic realm emerging beneath Bloomtown's peaceful surface, their mission proves more challenging than anticipated.

A Surprising Adventure

The comparisons to Persona and Mother are well-founded. While exploring the nostalgic 1960s setting and confronting supernatural threats that adults ignore, you'll also experience strategic combat reminiscent of Persona.

To combat the growing darkness, you'll need to summon inner demons, tame creatures from the Underside, and turn them against their former allies. All while trying to enjoy your summer vacation and experience everything Bloomtown has to offer - quite the challenge when you're saving the world simultaneously!
