A very quick blog:
I've just found out that two classic RPGs (both with
suitably silly names) are available to download on PC so I thought I'd let everyone
know!
First, which was released yesterday, is Ys: The Oath
Felghana. It's a remake of Ys III in 3D and looked amazing on the PSP version
released a couple of years ago. It's got a pretty standard plot but the gameplay
is brilliant. It's much more action packed then many JRPGs and involves much platforming
and button mashing. Great fun. I think that I'm going to wait for it either to
come down in price - as things tend to do on Steam - or buy it next month. I'm really
looking forward to replaying this game.
The second game, available on GOG, is the under-rated West
meets East turn-based RPG, Anachronox. The turn-based combat was an unlikely model
for an RPG developed by Ion Storm but it works perfectly well. The characters
and story are incredible, the setting
is bizarre and epic, and the dialogue is amazing! This is a game which I
actually kind of forgot about until today, but I'm really looking forward to
re-playing what I remember to be an incredibly fun RPG.
