I had this game as a teenager. I hated the hp drain effect but tried to soldier through it. Then I got to the part where you do a fetch quest for the professor...only to be rewarded by being sent to backtrack across the entire game world to get something else for him. Dropped the game then and there. Never looked back.

I remember this game, I was really excited about it, because I was big fan of the new lunar series. I played it for about 30-45 minutes until I ejected it out of my ds while it was running and tossing it across the room as hard as I could. I believe that's the first instance in my life, where I got actually gotten mad enough at a game so much that I wanted to destroy it. I never went looking for it after I did that, It would be years later until I found it by Accident while cleaning. When I did, I toss it again across the room out of rage of my memories of it. They had a vote for the name of the game on their sites. I did that vote, but don't remember which one I voted for. Only if i could read the future, I would have voted it to be call "Avoid This", What a disappointing game...

I wish this review went a little more in depth. Great video though. What a bum mechanic lmao

Yes, it will.

Honestly the sprinting isnt a problem now the exp/items and random attacks is trash

idk what is hard about this game, you shouldnt run if your Gear aint busted and you aint blowing your gold when you can accumulate it. yes you'll be grinding with the cheapest gear, but honestly Hoshi wo Miro Hito is far worse. No Inn save from the First Village, Villages are hidden in the Overworld and there's no Healing Magic, meaning you'll be spending money on Heals throughout the game. oh yeah, and your HP meter is partially hidden, only showing how many Tens of HP you have. meaning if you have 100HP, it'll display as 10 in Battle.

I saw the title for this video in my recommendations and thought surely whatever game he's playing can't be worse than Lunar Dragon Song! This I have to see. And there it was in all It's traumatizing glory.

Wait I actually loved this game when I was little. Back when I was like, seven! Holy frick, I never thought I’d see it again. Yeah the whole running thing did suck though. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure if I played it again I’d find everything horrible, but dang did I have fun playing it.

"Running Hurts You" Minecraft: Bedrock Edition finally has an opponent

The soundtrack is pretty good though. Whoever made it deserved much better than this.

To date, this is the only game so bad that i returned to the store after buying it. I never even made it to the second town.

I'm baffled by all these comments of people that actually finished playing this dumpster fire. You guys had the patience of a saint sitting through countless of those slow ass battles watching the RNG being hopelessly stupid.

Wait so u didnt use common blades?

Another really bad game is Unlimited Saga. The Romancing Saga series was always known for it's diffuculty curve and need for grinding to complete, that game was just torture. It was more about luck and random chance then anything else. As usual, it had multiple characters. Every single one had a moment where you needed luck to move forward. Traveling across the map like a board game, some missions were given a set number of moves before reset, usually just enough to find the exit. Missed one move? Restart (while shuffling the board, of course). Battle? Can't run, it's you or them. Every character has hit points and life points. Your chatacters lose all their hp, they take lp until zero (out of the fight for the rest of the mission). Enemies need to lose lp to be defeated, but only take lp damage randomly (zero hp only increases the chance of lp damage). You could waste an hour on the simplest enemy, or defeat a major boss in one round (however unlikely). Attacks use a roulette wheel to determine attack and damage (high "level" characters do get more chances, but still random), and it spins fast. Lastly, your weapons can break (like when you're forced to hit the same enemy 50 times to end a fight). Every character had a moment were I either got lucky, or lost hours of playtime to reloading after i was soft-locked due to lack of resources.

I can relate to running hurting.

Lunar 2 eternal blue is one of the best games I’ve ever played. Hadn’t heard of this and im glad I haven’t. smh

A game is worse than Fragrant Story!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!

The game that killed the series, well done assholes

I mean the game is bad theres no denying that...but like wtf was that story? You were mad because your dad baught you a cheap game when he was just trying to give you a surpirse gift....shitty game or not thats just ungrateful ASF

I'm curious but the animations look decent. It's possible that the company blew its budget on animating each action. As for the mechanics, yeah, I HATE it when games introduce random survival aspects such as breakable weapons. People don't seem to realize how hard it would actually be to break something that isn't cheap iron or wood.

I actually really like Lunar Dragon Song lol

"after nia gets friendzoned" lol!!

After seeing what you've put up with in monster hunter, if you tell me a game is bad I'm gonna believe you.

this channel could’ve been huge if you just kept the let’s play stuff and random commentary vids to a 2nd channel. Theres no real reason you haven’t hit at least 100k besides that.

Worst rpg ever made ? Im gonna play it.

is the rest of this playthrough uploaded anywhere? the vods channel link in the description doesn't work

Another RPG that you won't even get past the begining (most likely) is Unlimited Saga.. This Lunar game has really bad systems all mooshed together. Unlimited Saga takes very obtuse systems and mooshes them together, to the point you can't really understand the game and any game that requires this much dedication to understanding its mechanics just isn't worth playing.

You could use the nintendo DS microphone to escape from random battles for some reason so my mouthbreathing 14 year old ass would always accidentally blow into it and escape multiple turns in.

Wow! Its like they were intentionally trying to make this game bad!!

Just because the mechanics are revolutionary doesn’t mean they’re good. It’s a Revolution, not a parade.

Oh man I remember picking this up after playing silver star on the gba and was so bewildered at this game's design that I dropped it. The memories.

This game still has a purpose... Send it to the person you hate.

>he has never heard of hoshi wo miru hito ngmi

Game doesn't sound too bad if you grind on turbo.

I love where the main character just loses the ability to fight properly for half the game cause he lost his shoes!

Skill issue

Worst RPG? This is like Witcher 3 compared to Arcane raise.

Lunar: Dragon Song, the worst RPG of all time? I concur.

that gen z brain

I think that you talk about Hoshi Wo Miru Hito (or Densetsu no Kusoge aka. Legenary shitty game) .... It's A NES game release in 1987 ... NES have lots of release that year Metal Gear, Contra, Goonies II, Zelda II, Mega Man, Castlevania II, Rygar, R-type and Big RPG like Dragon Quest II AND Final Fantasy Hoshi Wo Miru Hito release that year japan only. Legenary shitty game born that year... It's kind of un-finish RPG with lots of bugs that release next to Dragon Quest II AND Final Fantasy.

not a good game but there are far worse rpgs out there. Expected way more tbh

Flyann, "My dad gave me trauma for buying me this game." Me, "Yes, he did, Flyann. And tramua builds character. Based dad."

Have played this as a kid but didn't finish. Honestly don't really remember all of this. If its just mechanics are bad, maybe a QoL rom hack is needed to fix these issues. This game doesn't seem terrible at it's core, I've seen much much worse RPGs out there.

I’ve seen 3 different videos talking about three different worst rpgs.

So you wanna go the E.T. route with the game? That sounds good.

I played this shit...I'm still in the padded white room.

"His best friend and partner, Lucia, which he has a soft spot for (teehee) often joins him" Honestly this feels like a summary of 95% of all JRPG plots out there.

🤣🤣🤣🤣0;$% U Destroyed Racism Blackkk

One thing you forgot to mention is that when you level up, the enemies level up with you! So when you pick the exp option to try to grind, you quickly find out that the battles take just as long to complete and you're still doing and taking the same relative amount of damage. What's even better is that if you power level too hard, you invalidate what little the equipment gives you, meaning you're actively getting punished for leveling up. I made it to the second town and level 15 or something before I figured out what was happening and walked away from it.
