Message: [QUOTE="Evaccaneer Doom, post: 201524, member: 41573"] Hybrid RPGs? No problem Horror RPGs: -Koudelka (PS1) + Shadow Hearts 1 and 2 (PS2): Shadow Hearts in particular has a weird clock like mechanic for it's turn based battles -Baroque (Saturn/PS1/PS2/Wii): Horror RPG + Roguelike, a lot of items with different effects to help you traverse the giant nerve tower -World of Horror (PC and newer consoles) -Off (PC, soon to get a remake for modern consoles) Arena Fighter RPG: -Custom Robo franchise (N64-DS): It's like RPG Armored Core, its insane this never took off SHMUP RPGs: -Undertale: not surprising that Undertale and Deltarune are kind of the only ones to do this type of combination -Star Trader (X68000): The first of it's kind, but the combination of being JP only, releasing on an unpopular computer (X68000), being from a developer that's only now starting to take off from Ys (Nihon Falcom), and being crazy unknown means that this was never localized and it will be a while before it's fan translated Gallery shooter RPG: -Black Rock Shooter (PSP): Self explanatory, gallery shooter RPG mix Beat em up RPG: -literally every Yakuza game -Sleeping Dogs Dungeon Crawlers with a bit of freedom in movesets and classes: -Etrian Odyssey franchise (DS/3DS/PC/Switch): Many different options to choose from (typically 7 classes). Can pick their portrait, name, which moves they'll start out with with the 3 skill points they get for free, the team name, a team of up to 5 (slot 6 doesn't actually exist, it's just there for a few moves and maneuvers to move the party around in the fight), and Etrian Odyssey V, the 1-3 HD remasters and possibly Nexus, the ability to change skin/hair/eye/etc color plus the voice. It's biggest downside is that the games are rough when it comes to getting EXP for benched members because of the 5 slot limitation, so it's recommended to go for Etrian Odyssey III (where there's a skill to address that very thing), Etrian Odyssey V (there's an item that also addresses that thing, but it's not obtained until floor 5 of Stratum 1), or the HD Remasters (adds a new difficulty called Picnic that can be used for easier grinding) -The Dark Spire (DS): Etrian Odyssey minus the portraits. You don't see your characters at all, you gotta imagine them like you would in a D&D round. -7th Dragon franchise (DS/PSP): Was Etrian Odyssey's sister series for a while so there's a lot of similarities. Most weren't localized, but fans translated them. -Class of Heroes duology (PSP): I know nothing about these games -Mary Skelter franchise (PS Vita/PS4/PC): I will not spoil myself on these games Horror themed Monster Catcher: -MegaTen franchise: Come on, this wasn't a surprise either. Type affinity, buffs, debuffs, items and smart strategy will get you through many boss fights, especially Nocturne onwards. Persona is a bit more lenient on you, but they're still SMT games, don't underestimate them either. Unique because good luck finding a non Atlus RPG focusing on normally insignificant shit like buffs and debuffs. Category of it's own: -Ore no Shikabane o Kete Yuke, or Oreshika (PS1/PSP): RPG all about sending your entire lineage into battle to eventually fell a demon who cursed the entire bloodline with a lifespan of like 3 years -Ihatovo Monogatari (SNES): Barely even an RPG, it's more a life sim/puzzle game -R Type Command (PSP): An SRPG spinoff of a SHMUP? IDK this game is weird -Madou Monogatari 1-2-3 (MSX/PC-98/Genesis/SNES/PC Engine/Game Gear/Saturn): Dungeon crawlers with the distinct selling point of not having a centralised combat system, instead relying on combos like Street Fighter to execute different attacks. I don't know anything about what's in the most recent entry though, no one's really talked about it on Youtube either. Whatever the fuck is going on with Mother: -Earthbound (SNES): rolling HP bar that guarantees your survival against fatal attacks if you're quick enough -Mother 3 (GBA): unique Nintendo patented rhythm game like system where hitting enemies to the music will net you an up to 16 hit combo Mother 1 is a typical RPG, ignore [/QUOTE]
