A party-based JRPG game with a 2.5D style
Rhapsody III: Memories of Marl Kingdom is an adventure game that follows a JRPG (Japanese role-playing game) style. It features a 2.5D art style and a turn-based combat system reminiscent of popular JRPGs from many years ago. This game is the third and final installment in the Rhapsody series.
The game features a mixture of 3D world geometry and 2D character sprites, much like Octopath Traveller, as well as its sequel, Octopath Traveller 2. The game also follows a similar playing style to these games, making them a good comparison for those who’ve played them before.
Experience a tale of love
The story of Rhapsody III: Memories of Marl Kingdom is one largely concerned with love. The player takes control of a party of characters that include star-crossed lovers, a character with an impending marriage, and lots of narratives for the player to explore these themes. The game takes the player on a journey through the fictional setting.
JRPG gameplay style
The gameplay style of Rhapsody III: Memories of Marl Kingdom is largely standard JRPG fare. The player can explore the world with their party of characters, occasionally encountering hostile entities.

A good game for fans, but nothing new
Rhapsody III: Memories of Marl Kingdom is a solid JRPG that should entertain both fans of the genre and fans of this franchise itself. It doesn’t do much in terms of new and interesting mechanics, but players just looking for a JRPG with an engaging story may want to consider this game.
