While Isekai Villain manages to be an interesting take on the isekai genre by contradicting all of its most annoying power fantasy tropes, it instead stumbles on its F2P roots. It is easy to see that there exists a competent JRPG behind the battle passes and gacha systems. However, more so than in other KEMCO JRPGs, this heavily skews the experience towards something completely unenjoyable. The main game becomes too easy, and the post-game requires some of the most tedious grinding seen in any JRPG. It is a shame, as both the story and the core gameplay are enjoyable in their own right for a JRPG that capitalises on 16-bit-era nostalgia.

Isekai Villain is an incredibly enjoyable old-school RPG that's filled with awesome humour, strategic combat, and tons of growth systems. 💀
