Terra Memoria is a cosy RPG with a gorgeous pixel art style and crunchy turn-based combat, and it's "coming soon" to PS5. We got a new gameplay trailer teasing the kind of adventure interested players can look forward to, one filled with anthropomorphic animal people like a bearded rhino, or a lute-playing sloth.
Developed by Dear Villagers, purveyors of fine video games like The Forgotten City, The Dungeon Of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet Of Chaos, and the upcoming Fort Solis, Terra Memoria looks similarly high quality, and a game we'll be keeping an eye on. With a focus on exploration and puzzle solving, a cast of colourful characters, and turn-based battles to engage in, this one might appeal to those after something a bit lighter than the usual AAA fare.

Is that pixel art? I like pixel art. Get the checkbook.
Interesting direction to go in after Forgotten City. That was a great game so will check this out at some point.
Imagine spending 500$ in a ps5 to play a gameboy colour game lmao
looks pleasant enough to me and the art style is interesting enough to add it to a watch list.
@Neptunes imagine $500 just play COD (which is generic every iteration and is over in less time than a family dinner). Some people like this sort of game.
Horses for courses and all that.
The UI is a real mess of visuals. Some pixel icons, some vector. Some textured backplates some flat colour. No pixel fonts. Modern, clean vector shapes in a fantasy themed world.
Honestly, the UI is a big part of this genre, it's disappointing to see it not get more thought and attention. The rest looks nice enough though.
@PSme Pretty sure that gameboy colour cant run COD. Also what a dumb comparison as with COD you dont pay for a game with graphics from 2008.
@Neptunes I think you're missing the point here. People will buy whatever console they want, to play the games they want, irrespective of what you think.
Yes, you may feel that it's ludicrous to have purchased a high-value console just to play pixel art or graphically 'aged' games, but other people do not.
Your analogy about this game looking like a GBC game is also inaccurate; it looks better than that, but I also understand your attempt, which was to say that the game doesn't look advanced or sufficiently "4k enough" to be worthy of being on a PS5.
Or words to that effect.
I really enjoyed Dungeon of Naheulbeuk, & this looks delightful as well!! Looking forward to it! 😸
@michaelf Brother, you must buy COD every year xD. If you think that this gameboy game is worth 50£ for a ps5 port
I note your tongue in cheek reply
I choose to get my COD fix whenever they are included on PS+ Essential tier and only if they have a single player version and have an 8bit computer filter option applied to the graphics.
All supplied on a C90 tape (both sides used).
Whether Terra Memoria is worth £50 is yet to be determined. How it plays is more important than how it looks for me. But a pretty and playable game is clearly the first choice.
@Neptunes That's like saying why would anyone go to the cinema and watch a B&W film nowadays? When there is colour or why watch a hand drawn animated feature when there is CGI everywhere? We shouldn't forget the original techniques even though technology has advanced. They are now another option of art form!
This looks really cozy especially with base building, and the music just feels right. And yes, the 2D & 3D graphics mix are gorgeous
This gives me Breath of Fire 4 fibes man I would to see that be updated with a higher resolution and some simple polish.
@Neptunes Never had a Gameboy Color I guess? I have had a lot of fantastic games on the PS4 and PS5 that where fantastic fun.
Graphics are fun but there are tons of older games that have a more special feeling in my heart then a lot of the best looking games on PS5.
Demon Souls on PS5 looked fantastic but the nostalgia and gameplay is what made it special to me.
oooh that visual style is very reminiscent of Xenogears.
well, the game graphics. im interested
This looks fantastic. The visual style is very reminiscent of Breath of Fire 4.
