After starting life as an offshoot of the Shin Megami Tensei series, Persona has metamorphosed into a gaming behemoth. The past decade has seen a bevy of spin-offs, from dancing games to beat-em-ups, but the undisputed king of the offshoots is the Persona Q duology.
As well as offering tighter level design and massively improved sidequests, Q2 had Persona 5's iconic Phantom Thieves rub shoulders with their P3 and P4 counterparts. Watching all 23 party members from Personas interact with each other was peak fan-service, and hugely entertaining for long-time Persona fans.
That meant that sales for the Q series were disappointingly low, to the point that Q2 never received an English dub as ATLUS didn't think it would sell enough copies to cover the costs of the voice actors.
The main characters are two bunnies in a cartoon world, and the graphics are only average, but they blend well with the artistic direction of the game. The Puyo Puyo franchise some sequels went by other names in the US has been around since the NES days and not much happened in the innovation department until the late Japanese release of Puyo Puyo Fever on the Dreamcast. While Fever offered the orignal gameplay that puzzle fans came to love, it also brought a Fever Mode that brought more strategy and combo-blitzing without adding too much chaos.
Puzzle sequels like Bust-A-Move 4 promoted heavy combos, but in doing so, it made them a little too easy and made the game crazy and unpredictable. Puyo Pop Fever has the perfect balance of strategy and simplicity which makes it a title that both hardcore and casual gamers can enjoy. Full Review of Puyo Pop Fever. I think the game fell short in popularity partly because of the length of levels some battles could last an hour easily , and partly because of its small original retail release.
The game comes highly recommended because of the near flawless game balancing and design. Game developers these days tend to stick to a single genre, rather than combining elements from several. Full Review of Herzog Zwei. Because of this, it seemed to stay under the radar of mainstream console gamers.
Instead of using experience points that you find in most RPGs, which allow you to move up levels, Shadowrun uses karma points, which you earn one at a time. These Karma points are used to make your character more powerful. And like Guardian Heroes, the game allows you to choose what aspects of your character you wish to improve. Propeller Arena — Dreamcast I am sure that nobody bought this game in stores — basically because it was never sold.
Propeller Arena was slated to be a big release with great online capabilities. However, the game kept getting delayed until it was getting close to the point where Sega ceased Dreamcast production. The game was finished by Sega and a limited number of final test copies were floating around.
Finally, a couple years ago, one of those test copies was sold for a great deal of cash, ripped, and released on the Net. Yes, I have a copy myself, and the game is incredible. Full Review of Propeller Arena. The original source material was the Shadowrun pen and paper RPG. Rocket Knight Adventures did have some replayability into it. Depending on the difficulty, the end boss was longer or shorter. After playing Shadowrun at a friends house, I was lucky enough to find it in a bargain bin at KB Toys for 15 bucks.
And Ogre Battle was an interesting and unique experience. Great times playing these games. No TG games? How about Military Madness or Beyond Shadowgate? Hogs of War is also underrated, my little boy has caught that fever also. Part 2 is underway thanks to your suggestions. Especially the Stunt Track. I literally wasted months on that track just trying to get the highest stunt score possible.
Oh my god.. I totally forgot about Rocket Night Adventures. THat game kicked so much ass. I remember getting that on genesis, and addictively playing and loving that game!!. IT was so much fun to just charge up your rocket boosts and blast away! Anyone else remember that game? It was sweet as hell. Weathers, in particular, has a substantial role as Lightman, the iconic guitarist who's touring of the Cosmic Extraordinary needs a new support act.
Guess who that might be? Lightman and Violetta have wonderful dialogue, and the latter's scepticism of Francis' presence makes for some of the game's most amusing moments, as the former childishly extinguishes her concerns.
Alongside Francis, they're the most significant characters in the story, and each have a small, but charming development arc that always keep the story fresh. Narratively, it's easy to see that The Artful Escape draws more inspiration from a turntable than any book, movie or game.
