"Does this game exist?" - The Thread
- Thread starter Larrikin
- Start date
As in, playing as giant ships on the top of the screen? There's a couple of shmups (for my limited knowledge of the genre) that allow that. I can only remember Rival Megagun atm though:
Geometry Wars also had a multiplayer mode where one player played as the ship and the other would play as a "game master" of sorts, spawning enemies.
Warframe?
Android game similar to PS2's "ATV Offroad: All Terrain Vehicle"? With the open world and free ride in particular. And not one of the hundreds horrible Unity template ones.
Is there a mecha game that actually feels like you're a Gundam pilot?
Like, first person, in a cockpit of a real robot style mech. The controls are arcadey like D.Va from Overwatch, and not simulation-lite and tankish? Where the combat is 100% mechs, and you can do ground, space, and air combat all in the same mech?
The answer is no, because the games industry is cowards

I'm into Roguelikes (ACTUAL Roguelikes, not Roguelites) that don't just take place inside a single dungeon. Ones that offer a world to explore with side quests and maybe even a story to uncover. So far that only ones that I know of are Elona, which isn't even in official Dev anymore, and T.O.M.E
Great idea, OP!
Is there a good oldskool RTS ala Command&Conquer, Starcraft on Android??
40 Winks on the PS1? Although, it is a 3d platformer, not 2d..

Gundam Senjo no Kizuna? =P
And if you see janky controls as tankish, Gundam Assault Survive? =P
Not exactly what you are asking for but

HOLY SHIT! After years! literally years! Someone actually managed to figure it out! I looked online and yeah, that is exactly what I remember.
Thank you!
I was hoping for this sort of thread.
I was looking for a City Building game which you start in the post cave man era. You start with simple huts made of sticks and straw, eventually newer eras open up which creates technological progression like your city making it's first settlement out of stone, and eventually the introduction of iron, steelwork, and electricity.
Something that focuses more aspects on the city building mechanics of a primitive village and over time become a modern mega metropolis.
I don't think Civilization does this as it's more strictly an RTS, so I'm not sure if a City Building game through ancient times into the modern era exists.

Is there a game with kickass Psychoytrance music? (Don't mention REZ because that's not psycho )
Try metro exodus. Its post apo Russia but it feels alien enough
SimCity Creator on the DS:
Dungeons of Dredmor is great Roguelike, but you want one that's not a single dungeon. How about Tangledeep?
Tangledeep on Steam
Enter the magical world of Tangledeep, a beautifully polished dungeon crawler inspired by classic 16-bit RPGs! Colorful characters, a unique job system, tons of skills, items, and diverse environments with deep, turn-based roguelike gameplay. A different adventure every time you play!
or the Shiren the Wanderer series of games. I know the Wii version has multiple dungeons and town to explore/story to learn about.

That game sucks, does it even have minigames? It's not really like Mario Party in any way except it's a board game
I was very wrong with my sugestion. I don't know this game, but this looks awesome!
Do you mean leaning left or right? It's fairly standard in games with a PC lineage, though I'm not sure there if are any on consoles besides Arkane's games and the original Deus Ex.
System Shock 1 & 2
Thief 1-3
Deus Ex
Stalker series
Arx Fatalis
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic
Dishonored series
Prey (2017)
Gunpoint and Heat Signature, I believe?
Universim. Not sure how far they are into the modern stuff yet.
Dwarf Fortress adventure mode, I believe.
If a Total Annihilation/Supreme Commander like game is okay there's Machines At War 3.
If you haven't checked it out yet, try Iron Marines by the guys who did Kingdom Rush.
Thanks, I think I will check it out. How's the shooting? Does it have a lot of jank?
I only played a demo of the original many years ago, but I didn't think much of the remake, Second Contact. Movement feels really bad, the enemy AI is idiotic and the game is nothing but fetch quests.
Has anyone ever made a game that's a mix between Zelda gameplay and turn-based JRPG? To better explain what I mean, just imagine a Zelda game where combat was turn-based but dungeons were still the usual "use items to solve puzzles, find keys to open doors" ones. I was thinking about making a game like this but it'd be great to know if it's a thing already, to see if the idea works or not =P
Alternatively, I'd love suggestions of 3D Zelda-likes that aren't Darksiders, Okami, Beyond Good and Evil or Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, if any of you guys know any.

Lufia 2 was like that to a degree. Dungeons feature puzzles that involve the use of a handful of special items like bombs, arrows, a hookshot etc, as well as stock elements like blocks and switches. Monsters are visible on the dungeon screen and only move when you do. Combat is standard JRPG. I recommend it, it's one of the better 16-bit JRPGs.
Thanks, that looks like a great sugestion!
And this one actually looks awesome, too! Thanks for tagging the very informative review; kuch apreciated sugestion of a game :)!
I'd say this. Really fun game actually. Definitely a metroidvania. You can rescue around 20 colonial Marines. They each have their own personality and dialogue. It doesn't change what they can do, so they don't play differently. But it's a really enjoyable romp where the meta includes rescuing as many Marines as you can.
Thanks for the replies! Those games all look interesting but aren't what I had in mind. Which is good, because it's specifically an idea that I'd like to create. :P
Aren't there a few first person Gundam games? Like on the Dreamcast? I don't think MS Sensen 0079 (Wii) shows any cockpit geometry but it's nice anyway, being one of the few FPS games with Wiimote IR aiming.
Lufia (not the DS one), Golden Sun, Wild Arms (except for XF). If you are okay with dungeon crawlers and dungeon puzzles in general (not exactly Zelda styled), also check out Legend of Grimrock, Bard's Tale IV and similar titles.
Oh, and while action based instead of turn based, I would highly recommend taking a look at CrossCode.
For 3D Zelda: Dual Hearts (PS2) and the recent-ish Oceanhorn.

I'll take a look, thanks!
I'll take a look at all of those, thanks!
@ bolded
I've never heard of Dual Hearts but it does seem to be exactly what I'm looking for, it's a shame it's stuck on PS2 though. We really don't get enough OoT-style games nowadays.
As for Oceanhorn, I always thought it felt more like 2D Zelda (and it always seemed kinda... generic, too), so not really what I want. With that said, I recently discovered that there's a sequel coming out, which looks much better artstyle-wise and is going full 3D, so I'm looking forward to it:
No, not really. Not leaning, but being able to look independently of your movent. So that you can walk forward but keep a look at the patrol of a guard at your right or left for example. But as soon as you release this "look mode" the camera centers again.
This sounds more like a VR thing would do properly.
Stealth in first person could be much better with this system. I suppose.
An adventure game that is not from Dontnot or Telltale set in a small town with a large cast of characters like in Twin Peaks that are very well fleshed out?
- Technical third-person action/RPG (Souls-like or something in that ballpark)
- Supports straightforward, full-time online coop (not messing around with phantoms)
- Persistent long-form campaign
Something like Necropolis, minus the roguelite aspect.

Not precisely what you want but maybe the Rusty Lake series, it even has the Swery seal of approval. IIRC, Virginia and Kentucky Route Zero are also openly inspired by Twin Peaks, though dunno how large the casts of either game are.
I just started Virginia ($0.99 on PSN) and it's been interesting so far.
Thanks. Having looked at some footage on YouTube I don't think the game is for me.
You've probably heard of it, but Ancient Domains of Mystery has what you are looking for.
