I'm telling you this one's got it. It is hard as hell on Dread mode, but it is extremely satisfying and rewarding in a way most just refuse to engage with. I'm so glad the people who are trying it are absolutely picking up what it's putting down.

Qliphah in Providence’s Shadow is a modern example of a JRPG which challenges the preconceived notions of the genre, and there is no need to wait ten years to retroactively praise it as a good game if we can do so right now: ogrerun.com/2026/10/06/q...

Qliphah in Providence’s Shadow and the Weird New JRPG

What makes Qlipah bold is not strictly its combination of genres but how those genres are combined

That early chatter was defined by "oh this has Expedition 33 combat" is pretty telling of how little people were willing to dig into what this was actually doing, because it is so unlike that on every level (this piece correctly points to FFXIII and SaGa Emerald Beyond as games with similar ideas)

In fact, I think it's pretty damn instructive as to how radically different a similar idea can be from game to game. If I described the basics of this as an RPG about countering, yeah you might think it's like Expedition 33, but both games approach that so differently that there's no overlap.
