You should just play them all and see, there's only like 2000 or something

 

[LiberoVulpesLiberoVulpes's icon]

can u tell me some stuff about it ?

Its a gameplay first rpg, more of a dungeon crawler with some twists added to the gameplay, the story isn't its strong point, the 7th Dragon series is all about having fun experimenting with team compositions, the game is difficult, but its meant for the player to find ways to break it by using party members effectively, the 2020 and 2020-II ones resemble SMT in some things, and, for the artstyle, locations and dragons are pretty cool.

 

[middler]

Something Good: .Hack//Link
Something Bad: Star Wars: Lethal Alliance
Something Different: Bounty Hounds

One never left Japan, one is as good as you let it be, and one I never would have known about if I hadn't jailbroke my PSP in the long long ago.

Enjoy!

I think these are unknow enough:

Persuit Force
Snoopy vs the red baron
Chili con carne
Fate unlimited codes
Gurumin a monstrous adventure
Nayuta no kiseki
Kenka bancho

Thexder Neo

And my favorite PSP game of all time:

 

[Badseed Badseed]

Forget ALL the games, just use that PSP ONLY for watching UMD movies

 

[Muftie2809]

Do you like racing games? Try WipEout Pure/WipEout Pulse. Or get the WipEout Portable Collection (this contains both mentioned games) in any case you also want to save some storage (someone have uploaded it to repository).

Or do you want to taste a bit of Role-Playing Games instead? Try Phantasy Star Portable 1 & 2. I recommended to get Phantasy Star 2i (infinity) as it contains additional story.

 

[fourmonty]

grand knights history,
soul caliber broken destiny,
armored core last raven(may want ps2 version, or true analog),
rengoku II stairway to heaven

 

[RX78GP02A]

Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan - Kansei​

Also known as Samurai X...
Really underrated game with amazing combat and all the important characters.
Only bad thing is that its only in Japanese, but i dont think its a big deal for a fighting game, and if you know the real story from the manga or the anime then its enough to understand what its happening since it follows the manga events (and the canon stuff from the anime)

 

[VidiyaGaemer]

Megaman Maverick Hunter X is right up there with Megaman X4 as one of the best Megaman games in the series imo

 

[Lg42inchtv]

Megaman Maverick Hunter X is right up there with Megaman X4 as one of the best Megaman games in the series imo

I'll also add megaman powered up to the conversation it's a remake of the first megaman game that adds two new robot masters Time Man and Oil Man it allows you to re play stages as the robot masters and also play as roll and protoman and also adds challenge stages and has a level creation tool

 

[csanjuro]

R-Type Command/Tactics 1 and 2

 

[Lg42inchtv]

In terms of my own recommendation I would recommend K-On Houkago Live if you're a fan of rhythm games and luckily it has a translation patch

 

[polter99]

Here's my personal recommendation that are actually obscure enough to miss the radar for most article.

First is 7th Dragon 2020 and 7th Dragon 2020-II, this is actually the game that kickstart my "New World Project", which is playing random games that I never heard of before, and finish it whether I love or hate it. And I ended up LOVING the experience, to a point actually getting myself physical copy of 7th Dragon Code: VFD (3DS Game).

7th Dragon is a game about humanity getting wrecked by dragon and flower that could incap you just by the scent of it, and uncover the mystery behind it in turn-based dungeon crawler with a twist that all Dragon enemies can act twice in a row making the gameplay can be very challenging. It's not as hard as something like Nocturne, but hard nonetheless.

Next up is Last Ranker. Do you love Valkyrie Profile? Then you came to the right place, buddy. Last Ranker have similar gameplay to VP in addition to being able to block (and I think parry too), and you need to spend your action point to workaround enemies defense than breaking it.

The story revolve around Zig, the man who decide to leave his village and travels before series of event that makes him joining a ranking system to reach Rank 1 as the strongest fighter. I actually dumbed down the sypnosis since I don't want to spoiler the major plot point too much.

Then here we are with the most frustrating entry, Carnage Heart EXA is a game about programming your robot to move, attack, defend, move diagonally, attack while moving, attack while moving diagonally, defend while moving, defend while moving diagonally, and every action you could think of. But that's not it friend, because your puny human reaction is slower than the almighty fully automated programmed robot.

Yes, you hear that right. You know the basic of moving the robot by you? Throw that shit away and PROGRAM THE THING FULLY AUTOMATED! Not only all the aforementioned action, but also to scan enemies, swap weapon, jump, chasing, ammo preservation, and literally every action you can think of (as long it's within the game parameter)... you can program it to the way you wanted to be (as long you actually paying attention to the tutorial).

You need at least to have PhD, high IQ, and watch Rick and Morty to play this game.

Have you ever dream of interactive storytelling that actually good? Are you looking for story about time traveling and change the outcome of your future? And you looking for sexy hot homunculi? Then I have the right game for you, buddy, it's Shadow of Destiny/Shadow of Memories (also available on PC).

You plays as Eike in fictional German town Lebensbaum, as he died for seemingly unknown reason until a hot homunculi reveal to him that he was killed in the past timeline, and given Z-Pad to travels between specific timeline where you need to prevent your past-self getting killed without directly interacting with your past-self.

Genuinely one of the best interactive story-telling I've ever played that keep me on the edge of my seat.

 

[Mordovah]

Despite all being from the same developer, each game plays completely differently.
"Riviera" revolves around exploring and completing dungeons within a specific set of turns.
"Yggdra Union" is a strategy RPG with heavy focus on troop formations.
"Knights in the Nightmare" is the most non-traditional game by being a combination of puzzle and SHMUP. The player is a wisp that cannot attack directly, but instead places knights around the map before the battle and then possesses the stationary knights while also trying to dodge enemy attacks. Definitely play the tutorial first.
"Gungnir" is an isometric tactical RPG that I have not yet played. But it is on the PSP and from the same developers so I am including it.

Now, I know you specifically asked for no MG'S', but have you tried MG'A'?

Tactical Deck Building Espionage.
I prefered Ac!d 2.

 

[Galanthos]

Not exactly obscure, or unpopular, but:

Wild Arms XF:
A strategy RPG that has a class system that is a bit more Tactics Ogre than FFT. It's known to be pretty difficult, but really it's just that many missions have objectives other than just "Kill all the bad guys" and that grinding isn't very rewarding early on. Wild Arms is a long running series on the PS1 and PS2, but each game is set in its own version of the world. Knowledge of the other Wild Arms games is not needed here.

Valkyria Chronicles 2 (and 3!):
Valkyria Chronicles is a tactics game where you make decisions on a large map, and then take direct control of the unit in a semi-realtime 3rd person shooter during their turn. Your squad members have somewhat set classes, like in Fire Emblem, but different stats and strengths in those roles. The setting is an analogue to World War 2 in the European Theatre, but in a Shonen Anime world. VC2 takes place directly after the original Valkyria Chronicles (available on PS4, PC, PS4, Switch) and definitely has some spoilers for that game. VC3 is fan translated, and takes place during the events of the first game. Expect at least a few spoilers here too.

The Legend of Heroes: Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch, A Tear of Vermilion, and Cagesong of the Ocean:
Three separate RPGs in the Legend of Heroes lineage. If you've played any of the Trails games, their style pretty much starts here. That is kinda way overselling these three though. These are PSP ports of RPGs that came out on Japanese computers in the 90s. The strengths of the original games were their tactical combat systems (gutted in the PSP ports) and their in depth, personal stories (kinda ruined by a bad English translation.) The US release order is also weird, with Tear of Vermilion released first, despite being the second game. These games are part of the long running Legend of Heroes series (itself part of the longer running Dragon Slayer series) but this trilogy stands on its own apart from the previous LoH games, or the later Trails series. If you want to see what the Trails series was building on, or have the patience to sit through some Kemco style RPG design, you'll probably have fun with these.

Ys Seven:
The Seventh entry of the Ys series. No longer a PSP exclusive. It's an action RPG with multiple party members who have different strengths and fighting styles. Ys is pretty well known for its speedy action, and intense boss fights, and Ys Seven delivers pretty well. Each Ys game is a pretty much stand-alone adventure, except for the first two, which are pretty much always packaged together. You don't need to have played other Ys games to enjoy this one, but there are a few returning characters. If you do want to play other Ys games, YsI & II, Ys: The Oath in Felghana (a remake of Ys III), and Ys Origin are also available on PSP. The PSP port of Ark of Napishtim (Ys 6) is not great though. You'll need a Vita, or PC to play the remake of Ys 4, and you'll have to wait with the rest of us for a remake of Ys 5 though. (or bust out the SNES emulator)

Star Ocean First Departure:
A remake of the original Star Ocean on the SNES, using the engine of Star Ocean 2. It's an RPG with a real time combat system, similar to the Tales games. It also has an in depth character skill and crafting system. The Star Ocean games kinda sell themselves as sci-fi stories, but most of SO1 takes place entirely on a planet that looks very much like a generic fantasy RPG. This has been ported to the Switch as well, but not to PC, so the PSP version might be more accessible. The PSP port of Star Ocean 2 is inferior to the recent Second Story R remake in pretty much every way though.

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops:
I know you said no MGS, but, Portable Ops is definitely unpopular. Basically an MGS game made with very little oversight by Kojima. It takes place between MGS3, and MGS: Peacewalker. Peacewalker is a more traditional MGS experience, but Portable Ops really focuses on recruiting the right soldiers for the job, either by having the right skillset, or by previously being part of a unit that is prevalent on a map. Basically, if your guy has the same uniform as the enemies, he can walk around more or less uninterrupted. You also need to manage stamina between your units, so unlike Peacewalker, you can't really just use Snake for everything.

Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together (with the One Vision romhack)
I am personally more of a fan of Tactics Ogre Reborn. If you need an introduction to the game, it's basically the less appreciated older brother to Final Fantasy Tactics. You can't do as much class mixing shenanigans, but all of the strategy, the mature storytelling, and the war crimes are on full display. The One Vision romhack is a rebalancing of the game, and is really the only reason I would suggest the PSP version over Tactics Ogre: Reborn. If you want, you can even spin up an eBoot of the PS1 version of the game, and enjoy entirely different gameplay and a janky translation.

Brandish: The Dark Revenant:
Brandish is a kinda weird series. It's kinda a top-down action RPG, like Zelda, but with the logic of a first person dungeon crawler like Wizardry. Your character always faces forward, which means when you turn, the dungeon turns around your perspective, rather than the map staying static and your character moving. I have read that the PC versions of the Brandish games are snappier, and have a screen layout that makes this make sense. The SNES versions of Brandish and Brandish 2 really just induce motion sickness for me though. This is a port/remake of the original Brandish, and while it still has the odd movement, it feels better here than the SNES version. The game also has a second quest as an alternate character after beating the main game.

Final Fantasy IV Complete Collection:
Final Fantasy isn't unpopular, I know. This is one of the better versions of FF4 though. The main FF4 game here is based on the GBA port of FF4, which means it includes the bonus dungeons and the ability to switch your endgame party. The collection also includes all of the chapters of The After Years as they were originally released, as opposed to the WiiWare version which combined Ceodore and Kain's chapters. You also get a little interlude chapter between FF4 and TAY, but it's not exactly riveting.

Lunar: Silver Star Harmony
A remake of the PS1 version of Lunar. Lunar is a pretty traditional JRPG with anime cutscenes and voice acting. Each member of your party has a set list of skills and abilities, so there isn't really a party building element here. Lunar is the kind of game you play for the story. I personally prefer the PS1 version of Lunar, and there is a more recent set of remakes of Lunar and Lunar 2 available on modern systems. I don't think that Lunar remake is based on this one. That does mean this version has a unique Prologue section with the 4 heroes, which is neat.

Literally any PS1 game:
I know you came for PSP game recommendations, but the truth is that when I had a PSP, and had hacked it, I used it almost exclusively as an emulation device because of how well it could emulate PS1 games. If you have a physical PSP and aren't just emulating it, slap on some PS1 games. Some of my favorites to play on the go were Parasite Eve, Vanguard Bandits, Vagrant Story, Legend of Dragoon, Xenogears, Suikoden, Suikoden 2, Wild Arms, Wild Arms 2, Ogre Battle, Vandal Hearts, Legend of Mana, the PS1 Final Fantasy games, etc.

Shin Sangoku Musou 5 Empires(Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires)
the fact that they squeezed a PS3 game into PSP is amazing.
it's Japanese text heavy so you'll get lost if you're not familiar with the previous Empires games.
