AXE OF THE BLOOD GOD | Our RPG podcast dives into the excellent RPGs that didn't quite make the cut.

Podcast by Kat Bailey, Editor in Chief

Updated on 22 April 2019

With the Top 25 RPG countdown now complete, it's time to celebrate some of the amazing games that ultimately didn't make the cut, and to also talk about some of this week's massive RPG-related news [download link here].

Kotaku's big Anthem report dropped this week, providing a great deal of insight into what currently ails BioWare. Kat and Nadia discuss the news, then recap PAX East 2019, where they laud The Outer Worlds, SteamWorld Quest, and Dragon Quest Builders 2. Then it's on to the Top 25 RPG Countdown Honorable Mentions, in which Kat and Nadia talk about Ultima Underworld, Undertale, Final Fantasy Tactics, Dark Souls, and more!
