Gaming Looking for something to play

[Tikker]

I've run into a wall of boredom, and need to find something to scratch the itch

I've got 100's of RPG's in the queue, and there's not any solid sports games for the Vita that I don't already have

I'd love to find something along the lines of S.P.A.Z, or FTL, or Space Commander. I've got a couple SHMUP's that I like, so I want something a bit more...RPGish, but with a bit more action, if that makes sense

Seriously? Why not play the 100s of rpgs in your queue?

 

[Tikker]

Need a break from them sometimes. Grinding levels gets old sometimes

 

[Tikker]

no suggestions?

Maybe try Chasm or Iconoclasts.

it's almost like people don't read posts, then just randomly suggest stuff. good gravy.

I dunno if that comment was directed at me or not...
Anyway, Chasm and Iconoclasts are Metroidvanias with light RPG elements. Thought they'd fit your RPGish suggestion.
The only shmups I can think of that you might consider to have RPG elements might be Skyforce Anniversary, Soldner X-2, or Project Root.
There's also Neon Chrome, which is a twin stick shooter/roguelike with RPG elements to it.

Stick some PSX games on there? PSX is pretty much the king of RPGs.

man, there's no reading comprehension in this thread at all, lol

let's try this again
I have 75317489157389 RPG's, I'm not looking for another RPG. I played all the PS1 RPG's that count 20 years ago

I want to find a space exploration type game, something like SPAZ, or FTL (but more RPGish than FTL, not a rogue like)

To be honest, this is a genre that has next to no entries on Vita that I've ever heard of. If you have access to PSP games you might want to do something like Phantasy Star, just for the space theme and strong gameplay. But in terms of exploration in a ship... Starlight Inception might be your only bet. The only problem is that the game isn't... very polished. Just look up some videos and see if it's worth it to you.
