Top 10 Best RPGs for the Nintendo 3DS

#8 Tales of the Abyss

Originally developed and released on the PlayStation 2, Tales of the Abyss is the eighth title in the "Tales of" series that's been remade for the Nintendo 3DS. Taking place in a fantasy world, the game's story focuses on Luke fon Fabre, a young swordsman whose life turns upside down when he unwittingly becomes the target of a military-religious organization known as the Order of Lorelei, who believe him key to an ancient prophecy. Together with his companions, Luke attempts to discover the truth and significance of his own birth, as well as unravel the mystery of The Score, the prophesy that has bound humanity's actions for thousands of years.

The ported version of the game on the 3DS retains the original game's real-time combat and makes use of the system's dual screen functionality, including the ability register combat skills on the bottom screen for quick access, which is replaced by a world map while outside battle.
