oh god I tried to play this game twice, and I can’t get past the gameplay which is staring at a radar screen the entire time. The plot and characters are really interesting though. and the art. but the gameplay??? sheeshhh

exactly! such a waste, to pair all that great everything else with such a garbage game
this and Biomotor Unitron are like inpenatrable for me. They’re so weird and dense, but I don’t really have time for an 80 hour Neo Geo Color JRPG
Card Fighters Clash would be my first rec for a NGPC rpg. Faselei! is perennially on my to-play list

new post time~! an ancient fighting game that even had a sequel, but seems to have made no cultural impact

iirc, the fantranslated sequel has a more interesting plot and definitely has much better graphics, both of which might make it more palatable to a 2024 audience. they’re both very “turn of the century japan” in their mood
Yeah and I think the mechanics are a bit more complicated (or seem so at first blush). The second game doesn’t have you walking around à la pokemon, so people should weigh that into consideration.
look at these msx games

one of those japan-exclusive games based on a western property

this one feels like they had part of an idea for a game, but failed to come up with a way for it to actually be a game

two days late, i remember to make this post public. appropriate, since it’s about a game that never got released at all?

this should have been a classic, but ruined it with an ill-guided design decision
