RPG Backtrack 372 – Sidetracked by the Gold Saucer
2026/10/16
This week's RPG Backtrack features part two of Final Fantasy VII's extended remake extravaganza. Is it too big? Did they cram too much content into a single disc?

2026/08/23

RPG Backtrack 366 – Fantasy Binge
2026/07/23

RPG Backtrack 363 – What’s Your Lucky-Do?
2026/06/12
Is World of Warcraft's fourth expansion an out-of-season April Fool's day joke? Are they REALLY ripping off a certain Dreamworks movie? Or are they simply giving players the most requested race since launch?  Find out on this week's show! Featuring Guest: Robert (TheAnimeMan) The post RPG Backtrack 363 – What’s Your Lucky-Do? appeared first on RPGamer.

RPG Backtrack 358 – April 1st Brings the Worst
2026/04/03
On RPG Backtrack, we strive to bring a positive message about video games to the world.  There are times when we play a game so terrible, we just have to complain about it.  After all, sometimes you have to play a bad game to appreciate the good ones.  At least that's what we tell ourselves to lessen the suffering. Featuring Guests: Ryan C, Ryan R, Jahwon, and Wheels   The post RPG Backtrack 358 – April 1st Brings the Worst appeared first on RPGamer.
