What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Isekai Rondo (Android)

October 5th, 2025

I went on a weekend trip after my post yesterday, which was really fun! I saw a beautiful greenhouse and ate a lot of delicious food, and, as is common nowadays, started playing Ys III: Wanderers From Ys in the AirBnB. I've been wanting to play another side-scrolling 2D RPG since finishing Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore, and Zelda II didn't hit for me. This does, though, and I had a really nice time starting it! I had to quit after about an hour and a half, since I'm a total lightweight and half a beer killed my reflexes, but I will absolutely be back to this. Perhaps I already have been!

I played a little bit of Isekai Rondo, too, since it seemed easy to play something on my phone. I scooted the story forward a little, which was nice, and feel like I'm making good progress. It's a breezy litle RPG.

Last night, I did end up with some time to play an RPG! I have 4 decently standard Kemco RPGs I've started and am interested in finishing, so I started with Isekai Rondo, which I'm playing on my phone. I'd only played about 50 minutes so far, so I more than doubled my playtime during last night's session. It's a cute game! It's nothing ground-breaking, but I've read enough "reincarnated in another world" novels that the jokes were landing for me. It's extremely stress free to play, too. I'm still trying to decide how to tackle this set of games, but for yesterday, Isekai Rondo was an okay choice.

I also played some Bomb Cat before bed, but mostly just got irritated at how quickly this game hands out a reversal of fortune. The bomb mechanic just isn't all that fun.

I am the most worn down I've been at the end of a work week for a while, but I'm looking forward to three days of little projects and Vampire Survivors. I might do a weekly craft round-up photo in Tuesday's post, to show everything off together.

Yesterday, I did mix things up a bit, playing a few minutes of Isekai Rondo while watching people make beautiful Italian food on Youtube. The two things are unrelated, but I was just going through early game cutscenes, so the food stuck in my mind better.

I did keep on with Vampire Survivors, too, but only did two runs. I was sleepy, so that was fine.

I got mega burned out during work today, both because of work and some errands I was absolutely failing at, so this will not be my most in depth post.

Yesterday, while I was in the backseat of a car zipping around Chicago, I started Isekai Rondo, a simple RPG lovingly poking fun at anime and light novel tropes. It's cute so far, but I only played for half an hour or so. I haven't even really battled yet.

I played some Vampire Survivors before going to sleep, too. It was fun!
