Extremely Weird And Obscure Games

[wilddogsdivorce]

totally agree about dementium, that and its sequel impressed me a ton back in the day. the cartridge got kind of pricey for a bit.

i think more people need to play baroque, i'm pretty into the ps2 version but i know most people prefer the ps1 or saturn version. respect either way, just play the game.

dark cloud 2 is considered a classic B game on the ps2, but i think the first one is a lot better, even though a lot of people pass it over. give it a shot.

Mary Kate and Ashley Sweet 16: Licensed to Drive on Gamecube. Far more competent than it has any right to be

Ichigeki Sacchu, its only in japanese but you can play the game even if you dont know, its like a armored core but with cute dolls.

Another quite obscure one is Despiria from Dreamcast, also in Japanese.

Top Tier Horror game.

Two very good and underrated RPGs.

"Armored Core but cute" GIMMIE!!!

Cold Fear is a really Cool Survival Horror.

The Chaos Rings Series by Square is a Hidden Gem.

Dunno abou it being obscure but Goemon New Generation is really solid!

 

[Octopus]

How about Disruptor, a PS1 Doom clone.

It's actually pretty good, and is Insomniac's (Ratchet and Clank, newer Spider-Man games) first game.

Samurai Kid on the gbc is genuinely one of the best designed puzzle platformers I've ever played, and u can find it on this very site's repo!

 

[Qbert]

Play Racing Lagoon or Boku no Natsuyasumi.

 

[Azazelivae]

I rest my case your honor

It also had a PC Release btw

Don't see alot of people talk about Riviera, top 5 favorite rpgs on the platform. Not sure if it's considered obscure

Not only "Riviera", but the whole "Dept Heaven Series" on PSP (Yggdra Union, Knights in the Nightmare, Gungnir), I played them all and found them beautiful in their different ways.

Here you go.

This Pangya on PSP: for me, best golf game EVER!!! I also tried the "Everybody Golf" series both on PSP and PSVita, but Pangya always remains at top place!!! A long campaign, a lot of challenges, wonderful free play, many courses, lots of costumes and customization for who cares, cute characters and nice story.

on what platform? :)
PSP or GBA?

The Chaos Rings Series by Square is a Hidden Gem.

Played at least two "Chaos Rings" titles on my phone, long ago, good turn-based games.
At today, I haven't still understood if they are in English for Vita (original or patched) or just in Japanese.

They all bundled in english for Vita CR3 being patched with the original EN script... CR Omega up to CR2 have an English toggle in the ingame options.

World Neverland series, there's five of them I believe but the only one to ever have an English version is World Neverland: Elnea Kingdom.

 

[destinyduelist]

Started playing this myself recently, it's a lot of fun especially if you love beat em ups

Literally the name of the game

This game is so damn stupid and funny you really can't help but love it

 

[RustySK]

So glad you asked!
I'll stick with approachable stuff, nothing too crazy.

For something recent-ish - Disillusion (I'm shocked I found a video on this game)

And for something more readily emulatable - Elemental Gimmick Gear (Dreamcast)

idk if its reallyyy obscure but Hylics, it has such amazing visuals
