Xanadu Next is a Top Down Action RPG with an adjustable camera. I just recently discovered the game myself but it's already on the market since 2005 (according youtube, and is on steam since 2016).
The graphic style reminds me a little about Grandia, the Action RPG is more similar to Baldures Gate Dark Alliance. My only complaint is, that the controller support is awful. You can move around and use your attacks and skills pretty well, but when you open the Inventory and Skill Menu, you can't move around on it. It only reacts to the mouse inputs.
The weird part about this is, that the game gives you and actual controller controlled mouse cursor. This is slow, but still works (and the speed can be adjusted in the Option Menu).
So i'm more comfortable to play this game with Mouse and Keyboard, but mostly the mouse. If you click and hold Mouse 1, your character moves into the direction of the Mouse cursor, Mouse 2 uses the Skill you have active in your Quickslot Menu (changing with F1 - F4) and the Number Keys 1 - 4 uses the items, you have in your item quickslot menu.
So it is a bit awkard, but it works fine.

The Music is great and also feels like from the PS1 Era, where you already got orchestrated music, but also MUSIC and not just a bunch of ambient noises. Ambient sounds sure work fine, but music makes these Locations more memorable.
