And it's like the former in that it's a decidedly unconventional RPG. It's like the latter in that both games' protagonists use their emotions to battle and even interact with enemies as well as alter their surroundings. My World, My Way-You might think of this DS title as being similar to both A Witch's Tale, mentioned earlier, and the much-maligned Super Princess Peach. It also offers them a fascinating cast of characters and some killer tunes. That's too bad, as Hotel Dusk offers players a lot more than an enjoyable whodunit. I guess the masses just weren't interested in solving novel-worthy mysteries after they were done running errands for furry villagers and training their gray matter. Hotel Dusk-This CiNG-developed point-and-click game should've become a break-out hit like chart-toppers Animal Crossing: Wild World and Brain Age. Don't worry, it's a lot more interesting and engaging-and difficult-than my pithy description here makes it sound. After all, your main task while playing it is to, in the simplest terms possible, quickly connect dots while time clicks away. Ghost Trick is more of a puzzler than an adventure game, if you ask me.
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective-Most folks call this Shu Takumi creation a visual novel, and while they're not wrong, I do think they're selling it a bit short with that description. If you're looking for a role-playing game that harkens back to the glory days of Final Fantasy IV or V, pick up a copy ASAP. Yes, it's got a few issues, which I briefly touched on in this old post, but it makes up for them with its overall appearance, its creative job system, and its ear-pleasing soundtrack. Plus, the writing is silly and the tank battles that end each stage are scintillating.įinal Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light-This Matrix Software-developed game has its detractors, but it's my favorite DS RPG. Why? You play as one of the Dragon Quest series' iconic slimes, for starters. I'm glad I did, too, as I now consider Rocket Slime to be an all-time fave.
This ARPG manages to hold its own anyway, though, thanks in large part to its intriguing, fourth-wall-breaking story and unique costume system.ĭragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime-This is another of those games that I long ignored simply because it annoyed me that everyone and their mother seemed to adore it. I quickly discovered that it plays nothing like Shigesato Itoi's classic. A bratty girl at the beginning, to be sure, but her attitude improves by leaps and bounds as A Witch's Tale progresses.Ĭontact-I finally played this Grasshopper Manufacture-made game (after keeping it at arm's length for ages) because I liked its EarthBound-esque aesthetic and its European cover art.
The cherry on top of this pixel-filled confection: the protagonist is a girl. It's also fairly short, especially as far as RPGs are concerned.

It's a role-playing game with turn- and touch-based battles plus a few other interesting twists. A Witch's Tale-Although the word of mouth on this game is pretty poor, I had an absolute blast with it last month.
