Seconding the recommendation of Warship Gunner 2 and Warship Commander. Two great games.

Also, I actually wrote an article about this elsewhere - recently, the 'long lost' missing link between Dark Souls and King's Field was translated. Shadow Tower Abyss.



You'll either need a beefy enough PC to emulate it, or a modded PS2, but you can find it pretty easily. As it's so old and forgotten (it wasn't even big in Japan, and faded quickly into obscurity), I personally figure it falls under the heading of 'abandonware'. You can find a download link in this article/review over at Indie Game Magazine.

It's faster and more accessible than King's Field, but still tough and all about careful resource management. It also introduced the whole soul-devouring progression mechanic that we later saw in Dark Souls.

For those who don't want to go wade through a link to a link to a link to a link to finally get the drat thing, direct link to the patched iso

I didn't want to directly link that because, y'know, direct links to PS2 ISOs probably won't go down too well with the moderators.

All of those names pale in comparison to ROCKETBILLY REDCADILLAC from Gungrave. :kamina:

... Okay, yeah. I forgot about him. And that really is the best name - the character design lives up to it, too.

PLEASE tell me you have played Kessen 3!

Kessen 3 blows 1 and 2 away!

Been years since I've played anything in the series, but wasn't Kessen 3 a very different sorta game? I remember it being more of an action-tactics deal.
