Steam sale deep cut alert: this ARPG originally developed for Nokia N-Gage is brilliant on Deck

Xanadu Next is a Diablo-esque JRPG originally developed by Nihon Falcom for Nokia N-Gage. Those bullet points were enough for me to grab it when Steam's algorithm surfaced it for me last week as part of the ongoing Autumn sale.

AI Summary

Xanadu Next is a Diablo‑style JRPG that Nihon Falcom originally developed for the Nokia N‑Gage. The game was released in 2005 as a Japan‑only title and is a late spin‑off of the 1985 PC‑88 game Xanadu: Dragon Slayer 2, which is sometimes cited as one of the first action RPGs. It appeared on Steam during the Autumn sale, where the platform’s algorithm highlighted it to a player who had not expected it to be good but was curious. The sale made the title available to a wider audience outside Japan.
