Vagrant Story (2000) | action RPG | Sony PlayStation | Square Lea Monde's haunted depths hid many dangers that tested its sophisticated combat system. Players could swap gear in mid-combat to meet the most current challenge, target individual body parts, and even craft (and name) their own gear!

Promising "Myth, Magic and Mirth", Tangled Tales strove to deliver on those points with plenty of adventure, unserious NPCs to aid in puzzle solving, and less emphasis on combat and more on actually completing quests. An interesting side quest by Origin from their RPG archive!

BoF3 wasn't a direct sequel to any previous title but still shared familiar ties in other ways such as the main character's draconic abilities and the traditional, turn-based combat system. And like before, Capcom crammed in plenty of story and character along the way.

The game received a mixed batch of reviews with praise for its gameplay while noting rough edges like the awkward dialog. There was plenty to grind through, with tons of beasties (though not too much variety!) to blast into fleshy puddles and a skeleton of a story. You could also save anywhere!

It was the first game in their Legend of Heroes series but also the sixth game in Nihon Falcom's long-running Dragon Slayer series that began in 1984 on Japanese PCs like the PC-88 and the MSX with an innovative title that became an influential and iconic ancestor of the action RPG genre in Japan.

Working Designs' reputation for injecting pop culture references into their localizations turned certain moments into time capsules that didn't quite age well. "Unhacked" versions of this and other titles are even floating around today undoing their gameplay changes (but not the translation ones).

Small, compact areas filled with monsters and obstacles make up the quest, leveling helps to bump your stats (attack, armor, and health), and there are even NPCs, weapons, and health saving food to be found. You even have magic that improves with use. As you level, you also unlock additional spells.

Stardust Crusaders with aishsha created an unofficial English patch and released it in 2015. Originally titled Kininkou Maroku Oni, this portable adventure was a straightforward, bare bones RPG to scratch that dungeon crawling itch.

Encounters were more in your face in this chapter, but unlike the first game, it came with a text file filled with hints on how to solve it (if not how to survive some of the more crushing surprises!) continuing to stand out as a murder mystery series that also spoke RPG.

You were also the Guy Ritchie version of a medieval Sherlock Holmes. Word descriptions for stats replaced crunch, combat was turn-based text, and leveling toughened you up. Death was also pretty forgiving when you didn't die, just kind of broke away to go at it again (hopefully with better luck).

There will always be corruption, what is interesting though is how things like Polymarket betting around Trump announcements never seem to attract the same level of scrutiny or outrage. He was, the 2nd most powerful man in Ukraine 🇺🇦

Elissa Slotkin: "Trump has conducted military operations in 9 places in 15 months. That's more than any President in history. He's shown that he is willing to use force. You can have a debate on if that's a good thing or a bad thing."

🔥 85% of Greenlanders oppose joining the US. 🇺🇸 response: “I’ve met some who disagree. We lead from strength.” That’s not democracy or alliance. Its power deciding consent is optional. This is Brexit argument exported. Power over consent. Anecdote over evidence. Democracy when it agrees with you.
