10 free PlayStation RPGs you may have missed

We already know that PlayStation Plus members receive a handful of brand-new titles each month which are already added to a large selection of games in the Sony library.

However, with PS Plus members focused more on new monthly offerings and day one releases, it is easy to forget some underrated gems that regularly go unnoticed.

So if you are a member who feels like they have nothing decent to play, these ten RPGs are bound to change your mind by combining compelling stories, enjoyable gameplay and most importantly, offering hours of fun.

Better yet, they are completely free for PS Plus members.

First up is For the King, a strategic RPG “that blends tabletop and roguelike elements in a challenging adventure”.

After the death of the king by an unknown assailant, the kingdom is in chaos and the queen needs help. Do you have what it takes to rise up against the impending doom?

Magicka 2 is the “world’s most irreverent co-op action adventure” which takes place in the land of Midgård where, following the Wizard Wars, the Wizards themselves have almost been wiped out.

If you are looking for more of an action-based RPG then The Ascent is the one for you.

Available in either solo or co-op play, this cyberpunk-inspired top-down shooter is set in a world where the megacorporations own just about everything, including you.

Fans of psychological horror of the Lovecraftian variety can check out Call of Cthulhu which will see you take on the role of Private Investigator Pierce who is sent to look into the tragic deaths of the Hawkins family.

Classic RPG lovers should not miss out on Thymesia.

This gruelling action-RPG features fast-paced combat and an intricate weapon system in a land where death spreads.

You will take on the role of the mysterious Corvus (think an even cooler Plague Doctor) who must take advantage of the creeping disease in order to find the truth in their own memories.

With the ability to shift into a raven during combat, wield plague weapons and build your very own playstyle, Thymesia is the ultimate RPG experience.

Battle Chasers: Nightwar is an RPG inspired by the greats by offering dungeon diving, turn-based combat and a classic JRPG format.

Based on the Battle Chasers comic book series from the 90s, this RPG features randomly-generated dungeons filled with traps, bosses and loot which you can overcome alongside your adventuring party.

With friends alongside you, each with their own unique skills and abilities, you will be unstoppable as you take on extensive crafting and an overcharged mana system.

If you are a fan of the circus or the steampunk aesthetic then Circus Electrique will be perfect for you.

Part story-driven RPG, part tactics, part circus management, this RPG spins the genre on its head.

When London is driven to chaos when residents suddenly turn into blood-thirsty killers, it is up to the circus entertainers to save the day.

Using turn-based combat, each circus performer will offer their own unique abilities as they stand against killer police, sailors and even the occasional aggressive posh girl.

However, with Strongmen, Fire Blowers, Escape Artists, and Clowns at your disposal, these killers are going to get a lot more than they were hoping for.

Last but certainly not least is Death end re;Quest which may have a confusing name but is another epic JRPG.

Taking the classic turn-based formula and flipping it on its head, this action-adventure title will see you flick from real-world RPG elements to visual novel segments.

However, when the line between reality and fiction begin to blur, will you have what it takes to continue your fight?
