Extremely Weird And Obscure Games

[Duke_11037]

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.

I didn't say Yggdra because I thinks it's more known that Riviera, but I agree that the entire series is great!

on what platform? :)
PSP or GBA?

I've only play the one on GBA tbh, I prefer the look of that one more. :)

Hexplore is pretty obscure and it is pretty good if you like old computer arpgs
Wheel of Time is a great fps kind of like hexen but with magic and no 18 part switch puzzles.
Quest For Glory V is probably my favorite rpg/point and click hybrid that I never hear people talk about anymore.

An obscure game I know of from looking at art on pinterest is Volfoss.

Phantom Dust is a weird stage-based arena fighter with deck building, originally for Xbox. It had a remake announced, then canceled, and got put on the Microsoft Store for free. I never hear about it in general, but a handful of people still stream its multiplayer. I love its art style and combat system, recommend trying it.

Recommend some games that are obscure but very good.

How obscure are we talking here? It would really depend. Also, are you looking to buy or emulate? Do you play indie games? Fangames? Genres you wouldn’t play? Some specifics would help.

The most obscure games that nobody heard of/talks about.
And I'm gonna emulate them with what little storage in my phone I have left.
The genre doesn't matter, as long as it's good.

Try Exit on psp. It’s a puzzle game, and relatively light. Has a stylish artstyle.

2D or 3D.
What are some of your most underrated platformers that STILL haven’t gotten the attention they deserve, even in this YouTuber ridden era where tons of games are dredged up to be given a wider audience?

For me, it varies depending on what I know. But it would probably be Blinx 2, Astal, Ninpen Manmaru, and Klonoa: Empire of Dreams. That said, I can think of a few that are not necessarily unknown, but have a negative stigma around them THANKS to said YouTubers that they don’t really deserve. The main one being Jumping Flash!, a game I bought this week, and adore with all my heart.

Plok is unironically a great game, it's one of the better 2D platformers made on the West.

Evergate, it's such a fascinating looking game too

Never heard of it! Be sure, if I’ve never heard of a game mentioned in this thread, I’m going to be taking note of them all.

Demon Turf.

I should note: Ninpen Manmaru is actually a licensed game. This introduces a spaner into the works of if we should count licensed games. I say we should. As a result, I actually think Ratatouille is quite the impressive effort for what it was. Releasing across all consoles of the sixth and seventh generations, as well as PC and handhelds, the main version of the game is a fun platformer that has strong character gameplay and levels that make full use of the small size your character plays from. It’s quite good.

Sky Blazer on the SNES is very underrated and overlooked.

I expect many games on this list will be indie releases that haven’t yet had the time to grow a nostalgic attachment yet.

Now answering GRIS twice in a day to different questions makes me feel like I'm making an ad campaign for it LMAO.

Rockin Katz on NES, a fun little plataformer where you play as a cat with the biggest weapon in toonland: the retractable boxing glove

Seeing that Atlus logo at the Title Screen gave me a jumpscare.

Dynamite Headdy

It's a great game but good God it's a game that's on all kinds of drugs.

 

[Yousef Yousef]

No one agrees anymore what is and isn’t underrated so this is quite hard to narrow down but Momodora is my pick, and some other niche Metroidvanias. List too long. Idk if those count though since they’re more action games than pure platformers.

Pitfall the one in ps2 and GC

 

[DanCalibur]

Ducktales 2 on NES, everyone loves the first one but ignores the sequel.
