@@misamisaa4547 I guess it depends how you wanna look at it. Passing by and enjoying part of the journey, yeah it is cool and all, but trying to 100% it, was just a "nope bad idea", if that is the case, then yup, I did not like that part of the game, reason why I stay away from mobile gaming XD

@@nintendonerdjoseph I get you, some did not like the field skills, the kind of active system that it has to press bottoms, gacha mechanics etc, combination between "action" turn base.

@@petit-pedestre2334 this is something quite subjective, if I check level of composition, yeh I would give it a 10, they did an extraordinary job, but once I start checking it's soundtrack as a whole, the number of tracks that became memorable for me and details like that, it is when I reduce or add some points, in this case I was not that big big of a fan, but I loved it. As for the other question, Castlevania symphony of the night, the first Xenoblade, I enjoyed it a bit more, Ya origin, metaphor (worth mentioning that they are short tracks but in the end I loved to hear them) etrian odyssey 2.

opinions exist LOL

@@gamingodyssey5633 Okay, thank you for your answer! I appreciate you taking the time to write this. Xeno 2 was my first Xenoblade, so maybe that's why I prefer this soundtrack to Xeno 1's, but really, Xenoblade games always have phenomenal music anyway

@@RizzyGyatt The quality of a composition is not subjective. In Xeno 2, the composition is a 10/10. Whether you like the soundtrack or not is indeed subjective though, so I could understand the 9.5

@@petit-pedestre2334 no worries, I try to be as "objective" as possible, but at the end of the day there is no precise and specific way to check a game (comment from a mechanical engineer here). So I would say, a review has to be taken always with a grain of salt. I've been on your shoes when people review DRPGs, more often than not reviewers say the same, "dated, tedious, generic etc".

@@734ch3r Thanks a lot, really appreciated, and also happy new year!! So far I would say really recommended, the thing with Xenoblade 2 is that, it was more like an odd ball, as they added more fan service and silly moments, plus some annoying things with field skills, so, this one sits kinda lower than the previous entries, but aside from that, really enjoyable.

@@734ch3r hey happy new year, and saludos desde el más acá XD I know the backlog can be quite heavy. And yeh, expedition 33 looks extraordinary.

Top left - Operation abyss Top right - demon gaze 2 Bottom left - labyrinth of Zangetsu Bottom right - Mary skelter 2. I don't entirely recommend, operation abyss, there are multiple things in its gameplay that feel awkward tbh. There is a review in the channel if you are interested, plus other DRPGs. Cheers 👍

@@deadNdivine12 hey!! Glad you found it useful, cheers and happy new year 🎊

@@gamingodyssey5633 Happy new year to you too! Haha

@@VeryLargeDuck thanks a lot for the comment and suggestion. Cheers and happy new year 🎊!!!

@@sandwhale1862 don't worry, I get you. And yeh, I'll check next year how to add something in between to avoid confusions.

Same the accent is pretty hard to understand sometimes

@@soratheorangejuicemascot5809 this a quite tricky question, most first person dungeon crawlers/drpgs on PSP have already been ported, so I would only say. Operation Babel Unchained blades - (just because of the extra screen size to play, otherwise 3ds for easy map) Aside from that, most can be found on PS4/switch with story continuation and stuff like that, or even rebalanced for better experience XD If I am missing names I have not played them (like 2-3 if memory works well), and this is considering questionable titles like Moero crystal and stuff like that :'P The ds/3ds have way more stuck drpgs as far as I know. But also "most" of them are quite famous.

@@734ch3r Hey, glad you enjoyed it! And yeah, it was quite cheap and you can update it to ps 5 if you get the PS4 versión. Happy new year, best of lucks 👍

@@kyprosfox7840 Agree, often times I enjoy JRPGs a lot, so with one run often times I am happy, but I gotta say that I have played games like estarían odyssey like 3 times each :'p The more tools you have since the beginning to shift the "regular" experience, the better, also a bit more complex but better for its replay value.

@@redbeard3946 no worries. I believe the auto sub text from YT often times does a good job. You can try with that if you wanna check the vid.

@@deadNdivine12 XD Happy to help I guess hahahah

@@NeoLotex I get you, something similar happened to me XD. And yeh, since PS, many games were developed to be unnecessarily long with over 300 random sub quests and so on. Often times I focus on the main story, do some side quests to check the overall package and once I finish it, I place it away XD otherwise I start to have that "complete the game" feeling hahaha :'p

@@gamingodyssey5633 True, I often do what's necessary to get the good stuff and/or the platinum and leave the rest. Witcher 3 is a different beast for me though as most things are quick and easy to finish and it's incredibly easy to lose an hour or two to simple collect "quests"

@@734ch3r sometimes I am tempted to replay them for the trophies, but then i look at the backlog, and I prefer to play some other things. I still find them really entertaining in many ways, but my main issue is the time.

Good point, but I also shifted my focus on games that I can at some point be done with. Back when I WoW was released I tried it, didn't like it, left for a year, then came back and stayed for 10 years or so, but I don't play that kind of game anymore these days, so it's also gotten a lot easier to move on.

@@NeoLotex that is another way to do it XD, I have forced myself to play some games :'p but that is like 05% of every single game I have ever played XD. Few are the ones I have thrown out of the window, and never looked back hahahah

@@artyomloukashov636 underail reminds me a lot to xcom/xenonauts. And yeah darkest dungeon is a mess on its own, it is a good entry too.

@@ay9lx it began with that "role play" or at least that was the idea with old TRPGs, of course with added things like dices, levels skills, progression. And actually those are the things I consider as role playing elements. On that front monster hunter is an RPG, while it does not have proper direct levels, you increase armor and weapons levels. You have to manage skills, items, forge. And all of those things work based on numbers. On its own the term RPG is quite open, but people start to throw different categories, depending from certain elements, so there you have Crpg, drpg, jrpgs, wrpg, Trpg, but it has become quite thin because now you have Chinese games imitating japanese games or corean games also imitating japanese games. Or western games imitating jrpgs. Or confusing mixes like... fighting-dungeon-rpg - Madou monogatari Rogue-like, survival, tactical, Rpg Yeh it is quite confusing. But yeh it would be a good idea to work and document some of those ideas and try to explain them, at the end of the day this is just my opinion of course.

@@notfreakgamer7540 you have some months for the installation, and it is a bit pricey going for free in some places (it depends from the server in which you spawn) or up to 10k usd as far as I remember XD And it depends which activity you wanna perform, there is a dude that sells cars that ask you for specific support, otherwise it gets locked, so, you gotta pay a small fee every time you have an inconvenience, aside from that there are some leechy enemies using "Tax" as curse to drain you. But if you wanna train other skills, time and dedication are key elements, as a fellow hooman I believe you can do it. XD

@@sontohartono comes from a Mod And the background is when you wanna go for a hunt disguised as a ninja

@@akiradkcn it is definitely enjoyable, but it required an extra dash of love in some ideas. If there is a second part in the future, I would be exited to see how they improve.

It was a really good game, it surprised me a lot when I played it. in generations I used to play with the Greatsword but i am not that patience with that weapon XD so I learnt the lance and I just know 3 combos with the SNS hahaha

@@zabuism currently nope. But I already ordered the game so yeh, will play it next year XD

@@NotVersace hey, thanks a lot for the comment!! And glad you found it interesting :D

@@ZOBENGRAUZIS hehehe don't spoil the surprises :'p

@@gamingodyssey5633 oooh, mi scusi^^

Hahahah no worries, next video comes with some nerve wracking games XD

@@Ioshuag Agree, I enjoy these kind of entries a lot, but they require some commitment, several weeks on the easy side, up to years, in the most convoluted ones XD Glad you found it interesting :D

@@734ch3r Eve can be quite relaxed. But that is just in battleships doing high sec lv 4 missions, or mining. But yeh pvp in small ships requires a lot of micro management, kiters are so nerve wrecking the moment you mess up. But yeh in general that was the idea hahaha XD

@@734ch3r yeah, they've been pulling some amazing games!!! This year has been filled with surprises. And not sure about persona XD I have never played one of those games, I am still a bit hesitant about them, (I am not part of the dumb fight between smt and persona) perhaps later I'll check 3, that is the one that has attracted my attention the most.

@@Queenofthesevenseas yep the second game hits completely different, personally I stopped feeling that around the 8-10 hr, (half of the game XD) but before that.... Yeh it is what it is.

@ Oh yes the second game was so not what I was expecting that’s for bloody sure😱 I have actually played the first game through 2 times. Where as the second game…. I’m a bit ashamed to say I have yet to finish😓 I just can’t seem to get past the halfway mark for some reason 🤔 maybe it’s just not for me? I am intrigued with the death end request code Z game that’s coming out next year however… so I’m oddly looking forward to seeing more on why the story and characters are like.

@@Queenofthesevenseas Also waiting for Z XD but the story between the 1st and 2nd game has some details, because it means Arata "got the true ending" ergo Shina is with us, then here, in the second round you get to see that other world, and a "side character" from the first game. And how some events happened there, and reached "this world" The ending on its own is pretty much a we are ready for what is coming :'p and a new "antagonist?" But yeah, reading through all the school thing, fights... It starts quite strong and it does not get that tone back till later. So I completely get you, it is not only you hahaha 😂

@@OmegaMusicYT I consider Bloodborne as an RPG, and I am almost sure Sekiro is similar XD (I don't have that complex to define exactly what is or not rpg) Those are good points, yeah I get the idea, actually that is another thing I don't like at all, the kind of progression with weapons, you get into a new town and you need to prepare the wallet for new gear, it becomes trivial (this happens in many many RPGs)

@@valletas haven't played newer FF since I left the series in 7 but I get the idea with Mario an Luigi. That is interesting, I liked those games because of those dynamics, I found them interesting going through the bottoms like when you use a copy flower in "partners in time" But yeah I get that they can be frustrating at moments.

@gamingodyssey5633 its not that i find them frustrating its just that bro... I dont want any action I love action games and i am actually developing an action platformer myself i just dont think turn based combat and action is a good mixture at all Thats like putting cereal into your coffe you either end with a bad turn based combat system or a bad action combat system few games have managed to find an in between

@@valletas 😯 now I get you, that is a new. Seems like a enjoy my cereal with coffee 😋. No, in all seriousness I never felt that while playing those games. Best of luck with your game o7

@@Adrian-xn3ss hahaha this reminds me a lot to the first donkey Kong and MegaMan X games, there were a couple of items literally to your lefts side while starting some stages XD

@@commissarsteele5852 yeh they are annoying, you are running against the clock all the time, I hate those moments when you cannot really enjoy every aspect of the game. It feels like they are forcing their way, so players dive into a second or more rounds playing those 100hr+ games XD

oh the classic RNG, i am in something like a middle point there, because for example if you play with dices and stuff like that, that is pure RNG, but there has been many discussions and the ways it works in games to encourage players to enjoy the system. There are some vids about that within Fire Emblem executions, old ones being true percentage, and newer games like a whased down version of RNG. But Yeh, i Get it, it is frustraiting when that 99% fails XD been there

Yeah BD2 is an odd ball, I liked the game, but I have heard it turns worse as time pass (did not see that but oh well), what i can say, is that some late bosses are a bit random, tough and weak, but what takes places the cherry on top are the Ba'als, be prepared, those bosses are pure hell (side story ones) Glad you enjoyed the vid, thanks a lot for the comment :D

Legend of Grimrock 2

@@GooseYASH Thank you for the recommendation, I have actually played LoG2. Would you have any to recommend in the turn based style?

@@TenguXD hey glad you liked the video. It depends, within this "sub-sub" genre, undernauts has a really good story and it is a good beginning. If you wanna have something much more "childish" but brutal, etrian odyssey V A kind of modern approach, between wizardry/Isekai - stranger of sword city, and saviors of sapphire wings I would ask more about the kind of setting you want, if you are into western ideas, star crawlers. A bit more old school, legends of amberland, or even much more old school labyrinth of zangetsu (around 20 hrs, and same ideas as the original wizardry) I have a video named five reason why you should and shouldn't play drpgs, there is a small section where I just share different ideas, plus the whole description is filled with entries

Demon Gaze Extra is a good entry point until you want to try other Wizardy-like titles like Mary Skelter.

true, true, both demon gaze are good options if you don't mind anime and some fan service here and there. You can also set the difficulty, if you are having issues. And the second entry is way friendlier, but you can't make your characters, so they have defined tasks, unless you start to farm some skills, but it is better to save them till the very end of the game.

@@KazeMemaryu hahaha that is a classic, in every effin etrian Odyssey those last bosses are just nerve wrecking. Probably the most unfair was EO 1 the 6th stratum was just a horrible experience, it is so slow. A lot of portals, really unfair normal enemies, plus FOEs that can blast your entire team, EO 5 with all the portals and annoying binds in every corner, let's not talk about the last boss XD The 3500 floors in galleria, yeh all the post content bosses here are just mental in one way or another hahaha

Ur-Child symbolizes my biggest defeat in a jrpg.

@@734ch3r there are plenty of drpgs where you can continue, and yeah, they have interesting creative ideas. But most of the time people simply abandon them as they are unforgiving and old school. XD

@@soratheorangejuicemascot5809 oh yeh, those marvelous estarían odyssey end game stages XD they are lovely, the imperial bridge, those hollows, the mazes from the 3rd entry, I despise them all the same hahahah

Hey Glad you found it interesting. Yeh, drpgs have acquired that popularity, In some cases it works fine, except when there is a cap or something like that.

I know the game, but tbh I haven't play the entry, all i know is that it is a good RPG with solid ideas, but yeh, it is not a DRPG on its own, nothing like Etrian odyssey or something like that. on that front it looks rather simple. I guess it depends, i have played Yggdra and Blaze Union, so I would chose Touhou to expand the horizons, and check if it is effectively that good. otherwise a safe choice is Yggdra Next year most likely I will talk about some of their RPGs XD

@gamingodyssey5633 I havent played Blaze Union since I I kinda doubt on how it takes the route choices. I also played Gloria Union on emu. The game is good and got a nice maps that made it very fun. Although it does have some stuff I am not a big fan of like everyone has a signature card.

Blaze Union tells a good story about Gulcasa, antagonist that you find in Yggdra, and if memory works well, there were 3 sides on the story, but yeh it is easier than Yggdra, with some mechanics that let you know if you things will work out or neh. Havent played gloria, so not sure about changes on that one XD. I would look for the touhou gameplay and check if it is what i am kinda expecting, otherwise look back at the backlog :'p

I can chime in for Labyrinth of Touhou. You're right, it's not first-person but I would still consider it DRPG-adjacent since there's exploration and mapping, puzzle solving, and an occasional F.O.E. Visually it's kind of meh, but the combat and party building is where LoT shines, which might have sparked the Etrian Odyssey comparisons (I wouldn't call them that similar). You have a party size of 12 and can recruit around 50 members each filling their own niche, such as Reimu being a healer/buffer or Wriggle specializing in poison. This coupled with the fact that KO'd party members are out for the rest of the battle makes for some truly interesting fights where regularly swapping out front-liners is critical. Technically you can still out-grind the challenge, but you can level down your party. It's a well thought out system but some info is esoteric, so having the Touhou Wiki on hand can be useful. HOWEVER, if you're looking for a true Touhou first-person DRPG then may I suggest Touhou: Artificial Dream in Arcadia? That game is a masterclass love letter to both Touhou and Shin Megami Tensei. Highly recommend, plus it has a demo if you wanna try before buying.

@Dreaxslar ohh I already tried Artificial Dreams Arcadia. The bullet hell hacking is just too slow for my taste. It felt like a euroshmup for some reason.

@@PrettyHappy7 haven't played re7. Ditched the series after 6 XD But I know his background a little

@@FredFunk-h1k hahahah sounds like it took a while to find them XD There is a funny comment down there saying that I have no idea what a first person dungeon crawler is :'p

@@soratheorangejuicemascot5809 nope, I didn't know that one, XD but reading about it sounds intriguing, it's rare to see those "many in one" these days.

@@soratheorangejuicemascot5809 Glad to see you here XD Yeh, Knights in the nightmare, is an amazing game, lots of little details, but that learning curve :'p

@@jeffcourty6321 hey there !!! Yeh IF/CH are niche in multiple ways. They have improved XD, compared to the oldest approaches And thanks a lot for the support, really appreciated :D
