I can make an argument for Return of the Joker. I thought CastleVania legends would be too well known. Don’t expect a great story or intense challenges from Klonoa 2, but you will be treated to some great visuals and lots of fun. Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen The original Kloana was also a hidden gem on the PS1, and while the sequel maintains its 2D platformer feel, it’s now using 3D graphics to give it a more modern look. I'm surprised a few of these are on the list. Then again it's been like 30 years since I went through it.Īccording to Google. Grandia is also really good, and Grandia 2 is one if my favorite games ever but I dont think there is a way to play it on PSP. Im not a huge RPG guy but 2 and 4 were enjoyable (only ones I played).

A space combat sim focused heavily on ship-to-ship dog-fighting, Colony Wars features an outstanding branching story structure featuring multiple outcomes that. Pretty tough game at times and it's kinda long. They arent exactly hidden gems, but the Wild Arms games are good. Another PlayStation title from Psygnosis, the same studio behind G-Police, Colony Wars may not pack the same visual punch as the former but it is arguably the superior game and one of the PS1’s finest hidden gems. It's such a good game and I wish more people would give it a shot. While most people's favorite NES game of all time is usually Super Mario Bros 3 or Legend of Zelda, my personal favorite NES game of all time is The Guardian Legend which apparently not many people know about. If I remember, I'll edit this post tomorrow, but honestly, if you want a long, good quality RPG with a captivating storyline, go grab this! Also this has one of the most memorable OSTs of any game I've ever played. I would write more but I just noticed how late it is. Googling for the below artwork made me find out that a rematser is coming to the Switch & Steam. My other 'gem' is another PS1 RPG, which was also released on PS1.

Example, take a dog-like creature with armour plating and a huge horn, and merge it with a flying creature to create a horned, armoured flying beast! You can combine anything to create your very own creatures. Take two different beasts, and combine them into a single one with traits of both. It's main selling point is the ability to catch, battle, sell, and MERGE wild creatures. I grew up on the original PlayStation and have many great memories of the system playing Crash Bandicoot and Pandemonium for the first time after playing Sonic, as well as being. The story line is good, but not intrusive with hour long cutscenes as per other RPG's of the time. Some hidden gems for the classic console that defined the 90's Hello and welcome to a blog post about a system that I've been wanting to write about for a long time. An absolutely brilliant PS1 era RPG game which takes the classic turn based combat and puts an interesting spin on it - I'd call it "Pokemon for adults", or something more to that effect.
