Extremely Weird And Obscure Games

[UnDubious]

Ancient Roman has a full English patch, though. I've played maybe an hour and a half of it, it really does suck. Ear piercing music too.

I yearn for the day when this gets an english translation. This isn't exactly obscure but its an absolute classic shitfest of a game.

Just scroll through the old Japanese computers

Does booby games count as kusoge? if so, the only ones I played according to my Gamefaqs list(how I keep track of games I finished) are these.

They All have pretty Solid Combat tbh. Charming in their own way too!
And I know some other ones from watching GuileWinQuote...

As for exclusives I dunno if these are kusoge but.

 

[UnDubious]

If they have solid combat they aren't kusoge, unless you're a hater.
I like the Simple 2000 series of budget games for the PS2, but only a few are actually good, objectively speaking. So if you're looking for bad games, do NOT play Splatter Master, Yakuza Fury, The Adventures of Darwin, or All Star Fighters. Even that Sailor Uniform Maid with a gun game is kind of decent. Zombie Virus is a bit dull but it has its moments. But you've got upwards of 100 other games to try in the Simple line. And honestly, even the good ones can be rough/janky initially.

I only know very lewd and potentially questionable kusoge eroge games..damn!
Bahamut Lagoon? It has THAT infamous ending
Escape from Bug island on the Wii, i thought it was made in the west but its actually made by Spike

Hoshi wo Miru Hito for the Famicom. A car crash from the second you hit Start.

Bahamut Lagoon is pretty good, what do you mean?

Simple 2000 might be simple or weird or janky but i think they are mostly fun.

There is a ton of good boobie games lmao, not really a criteria to define a game being a kusoge, but thanks for the recommendations.

Ohohoho Escape From Bug Island is a thing, i remember watching someone playing this game once, i think it was in Vinesauce. It looks like a game that would be very fucked to play on emulator with a generic third-party controller.

i was JUST thinking of this too lol beaten me to the punch!

but i do know of one that'll frustrate you to no end

Capcom produced too (why), awful and confusing ass combat system... rage quitted so hard and never bothered with it since.

 

[snackcannon]

Pangya: an MMORPG focused on playing Golf. I found it boring personally but it looks interesting. Although servers are down there are still some private ones

The PSP Version is also a weird little golf game. I picked it up at a retro game store for cheap because of how strange the title was. Sunk about 20 hours into it to beat the story mode and unlock some of the extras.

Crunk Games reminds you there were three untranslated vacation themed games, all on the PS2. The first was Toro no Kyujitsu, which I haven't seen referenced elsewhere. The second was Boku no Natsuyasumi, which got a fan translation a couple years ago. The third was Inaka Kurashi, a girl-in-Okinawa game I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere.

The article was written in 2003. There were already some relaxing games on consoles in English. However, it took until maybe 2018 before more than a handful were available.

Toribash isn't really cryptic but was my absolute Jam for a long ass time, and i don't see anyone remembering it(outside of an user here on RGT), or at least playing for more than a few minutes, maybe because the skill ceiling was too absurd. Matches would take a long time so in order to grind and improve i would spend all day long playing in servers. One of the contributors to me learning english too.

Saw many people talking about this in the past along with many other Ray K games, but only because of the initial shock value of looking at the themes and the characters, but in the reality no one really plays it or talk about it online(and barely even know what the game is about really). I wasn't able to find any real guides for any stuff in the game and that kinda added to my experience because i was learning new things through experimentation, but i still wish there would be more actual discussion about the game and not just "look at how messed up this game looks lol" in a post and that's it. I was stuck many times because of simple stuff, but i enjoyed it.

I played thousands of hours of Toribash in my teens.

I really want to play some weird ass obscure games.
I love games with weird, trippy and original art styles, or weird stories, and I personally enjoy rpgs, but I kinda don't care about the genre.
If you have any recommendations, pls let me know, ty!!!!!
