hey man i swear i'm a jrpg junkie through and through but i always find new gems when i watch your vids, thanks!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

I'm so happy to hear! Thanks for letting me know!

[@Miko-Onna-musha]

I Know Right!! 😆

[@Brandon667x1]

Ys Origin is one that’s been long overdue for me to pick up. I have it digitally, but have been wanting to pick it up physically for a while. Time to get on it. Great list btw, as usual. Appreciate what you do! 👍

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thanks so much! And great one to pick up!

[@Hugh_Jainus]

The timing is gold on this one, thanks man! Would love to see more switch jrpgs going into the holiday season!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thank you and more to come!

Glad you like them! Appreciate it!

Ys orgin baby. Great Video man.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thanks dude! We keep the Ys love going here haha

[@ddkixk]

I might give Astria ascending a try and nice job on the Vid

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thanks! Hope you enjoy it!

[@kirindas4691]

Thanks for the video! I would say Harvestella is a good game and a hidden gem if you were curious about easing into a life sim games. It's more of an RPG where you do some light life sim farming to equip yourself up for dungeon diving. (Making crops to earn money and create food/juices for healing in combat). It has a good story with lots of interesting twists and simple combat that is easy to learn. Rune Factory would be a deeper dive since it's more life sim and the combat is less focused. Story of Seasons would be the full-on life sim since it has no combat.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Oh rock on that's great to know and thanks for letting everyone know! Thanks also for watching!

[@DanofWar101]

Awesome list of games and even better when they're all at a discount! This made me realize how many games I own that I've either started but never finished or not played at all yet! The only games in the list that I don't own yet are MH Rise and Undernauts (which I've added in my wishlist last time you've talked about it). I have both Dusk Diver games, and I even pre-ordered the 2nd one based on your recommendation back then, so you did your job as the Unofficial Ambassador to the West of the Dusk Diver franchise lol! Great video and keep up the good work!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

This makes my heart, as the Unoffical Dusk Diver Ambassador to the West, good to hear! Haha thanks for letting me know and I really do love those games. I hope you have as much fun with them as I have. Thanks for watching and hope you have a flippin awesome week of gaming!

[@baseddeck]

I love this kind of video, so many hidden gems to put on my wishlist and play them on my Steam Deck that I didn't know before, please bring more!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thanks! Will do

[@Aster_Logos]

I'll always shill for Harvestella. The game was such a surprise. The story is amazing and very deep and surprisingly adult, the characters are loveable and well-written, the music is top notch, and the art style is super cozy. I usually hate life-sims and farm-sims, but this game made me love it all.

[@tylorian5168]

Trials of Mana and Rune Factory 4 are two excellent pickups. ToM is a great, quick RPG (~20 hours a playthrough), and RF4 just passes the time so easily. Maglam Lord is still one I’ve been looking out for, but is always just a bit above the price I wanna pay. Now, though, it might be a good time to try to get it 🤔.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Couldn't agree more!

[@louvella-sama]

💯 THIS. Such underrated gems.

[@kingtimmy88]

I just looked up Maglam Lord on Amazon and it's below $20 right now.

[@FrappMocha]

Was on the fence of buying Cristales, but this video gave me the little 'push' I need to grab it. Nice to see Sakuna being mentioned here. That was a great game and one of the earlier titles I beat on the Switch. Cool video Hallowed! More power to 30 K subs!!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thanks so much! Hope ya have a blast with it!

[@erikalexander3085]

Trails of Mana was a blast, did multiple playthroughs for that perfect end game party in my book. Monster Hunter Stories 2 is one of my favorites on the switch and I never feel like it gets the love it deserves. Goes on sale down to 20-25USD for a physical. Finishing up DQ11 now and Cyberslueth Complete Edition is probably upnext after scoring it for 15USD (physical). Love these vidoes by the way, I love physical and I love gaming on a budget, looking at Deku deals, my collection has an average discount of ~66%. That does include a handful of digital titles that has had banger sale prices, but I always priorites physical. Never be ashamed to stick to a budget!

[@cirmothe9]

This has reminded me to check out some games in my backlog. Have had dusk diver for years but never got around to it. It's actually a really charming action game.

[@Jenergyyy]

I agree Undernauts is slept on and also feel the physical game will jump up in the future

[@shoked99]

Great list. Will check out some of them for sure. Thanks.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Awesome, thank you!

[@ferenckis7799]

Thanks for another great video. I especially like the hidden gem ones.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thanks for watching! I'm working on more hidden gem videos in the background!

[@TotalLevelYT]

I have many of these games, just have to play through them still. There were two on here though that I have to look into with Blacksmith and Undernauts so once again, thanks for adding more games to my buy list lol

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

That's awesome! Hope you enjoy them if you snag them up!

[@JeannieLove]

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin was a sleeper hit for me because I DON'T like farming sims. But the way harvesting rice fed back into the combat and exploration and the fact you can make it as easy or hard you want to made it really enjoyable. The Trials of Mana remake is my favorite mana game, I had played a fan translated version of the original. I just love the fact you have different paths for upgrading their classes. It also helps that Reisz is super cute. I had a lot of fun with Dusk Diver and Maglam Lord is on my wishlist on PSN.

[@marlowemichaelson1366]

Your comment just convinced me to try Sakuna :D I also tend to get bored (or overwhelmed) by farming sims. the CLOCK in Stardew Valley stressesd me out! but it seems like this is not the case in Sakuna

[@JeannieLove]

@@marlowemichaelson1366 I just find them boring. But Sakuna was very fun

[@belldrop7365]

@@marlowemichaelson1366 The trick to not getting stressed out by the clock in farming games is to throw efficiency out the window. Instead of farming, talking to npcs, mining and then fishing all in one day, just pick 1-2 activity and then sleep. You'll find that advancing the days quickly is more reliable and fun since things progress faster.

[@TrueLadyEvilChan]

I'm surprised Sea of Stars didn't make the cut here for being Affordable. That said, I'm definitely gonna try out Undernauts and Dusk Diver!

[@momomomongaa]

I want to get Sea of stars but I’m willing to wait till the end of the year to pick up the physical edition.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Oh rock on! Hope you have a blast with them!

[@Crazy_Gamer_OG]

I played it on Game Pass, was really great & saved me money for another game. I didn't like how the "True" ending is locked behind a shell collection, tho. I only got around half the shells & didn't want to go back through everything again.

[@NotsoFamousInc]

Geat video! Oh, and please I need your help, should I get both death end: re quest and Astlibra OR just maglam lord?

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

As much as I love Maglam Lord those 3 games are quality. I'm looking to pickup Astlibra soon as well.

[@femtrooper]

Happy to see Harvestella make your list! I can't recommend it enough! I also should probably get that Collection of Mana!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

I’m so happy to see it be really affordable too! Hope you enjoy Collection of Mana if you pick it up!

[@human22265]

Cris Tales is pretty neat :) I played the first few hours of it and it was nice

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

That’s awesome dude! Happy you enjoyed it!

[@Trenell83]

I will always vouch for Sakuna of Rice and Ruin. Game made by two people. Good soundtrack nice characters and i want a sequel to it. So please give it a try.

Combat is fun, but everything else is absolutely abysmal

Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth is such an underrated pair of games. I had so much fun sliding my monsters up and down the evolutions in every possible direction!

[@SargeWolf010]

8:14 This one I own on Switch and beatin a portion of it got my copy at a Local Walmart for 10-15$ I enjoyed it tho I was skeptical about it

[@Aftonista]

I played Harvestella and loved it!! I grew up on Harvest Moon 64 and was interested in branching out so grabbed it on sale. Ended up being my gateway drug into JRPGs! It’s not perfect but the environments are gorgeous and I enjoyed the story.

[@medstudentmama1422]

And my backlog list grows longer....thanks! Also, not surprised to see Dusk Diver on this list, from the unofficial Dusk Diver Ambassador to the West. 😎

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Haha ty ty, as the Unofficial Dusk Diver Ambassador to the West it was an honor!

[@Hero190909]

I've done my homework. I have all these games but one and this channel has definitely helped me out. I don't have Nier Automata on Switch, but I have it for ps4. Just wanted to see 2B in better quality.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Haha I can't fault you there

[@belldrop7365]

The dungeon crawler genre is a good starting point for budget jrpgs. If you're not into it already, most likely you have never touched any of them and you suddenly have a huge lineup of new games.

[@Robzvideogamez]

Digimon games sometimes lose the license and games are removed from stores. It happened on the vita with the original Cyber Sleuth pick it ASAP.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Oh snap great point! Thanks for letting everyone know

Nice recommendations , I got 8 games from your list

Cybersleuth and hackers memory are amazing so is stella glow (the background music at that part but its 3ds)

[@JuliaSin]

Harestella was a sleeper hit for me! I cant get enough

[@CJ_IceCissalc]

Is Harvestella sort of like Rune Factory Frontier? I remember spending hundreds of hours into it. Managing the farm and the ARPG-like combat and nice story/characters interaction.

[@JuliaSin]

[@RwnEsper]

Great list Ren! Aside from the portability, any reason to get Nier Automata on Switch if I have it on PS4?

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thanks dude! As much as I love Nier and the Switch I'd say if you have it on ps4 then unless you want to replay it on the go then you'd be good to take a pass.

[@ivanbluecool]

Bought Valkyria Chronicles 4 and shining resonance I think it was called for less than 20 bucks. Great deal but I need a bigger SD card for my downloads. Tales of arise same. 20 bucks and I can say......yeah that price was exactly what I would have paid.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Fantastic prices, nice!

[@ivanbluecool]

@@HallowedBeThyGame yeah I was basically thinking "if the game is bad it wasn't that much money" and "if I can get just an hour of enjoyment it would be worth the money" Seeing the gameplay vids I can say I'll enjoy them when I do play them. Arise while the story can be lacking I can say I got my money worth of the game overall. Overall 35-40 dollars for 3 games is definitely better than a 40-60 dollar game

[@shirayukinobunaga9424]

As someone who played harvestella its an amazing and engaging game

[@bertnbirdgaming4315]

This was a great list. I know most of these games and they are all great I’m going to check out Maglam lord because I’ve never heard of it and it seems like a good time

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thank you and I hope you enjoy it!

[@saviordream]

They have a couple of copies of Astria Ascending at a local Mom & Pop discount store for $20, brand new. Was considering picking it up but then I read there are a lot of performance issues with the game so I've been hesitant. Does anyone know if they've patched it up so that it works okay?

[@ozloner8777]

I picked up 3 great Action RPGs on the Switch recently and it's kind of surprising that it's not part of those "3 for the price of a new game" or "3 for $60" kind of deals. I picked up NieR: Automata for $28, Ni No Kuni II $19, and Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet for $10.

[@medstudentmama1422]

Sword Art Online is awesome.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

woh! Jackpot! Fantastic pickups!

[@darthrevank9564]

I'm gonna say that I've never been into farm-sim games until I was gifted Harvestella and even though I've still not yet finished it I love taht game really much it's not farm-sim to the extreme kinda simple which is something I like (in the end of the day I want to play a game to relax, unwind, etc. so the rather simplimistic of the game is much appreciated for me) and I must say it is relaxing the game is beautiful and I still sunked 60 hours in and still not finished it yet I recommend it if it's on sale it's beautiful, it's got a really good soundtrack you can have up to 3 class and switch almost on the fly during combats, not too complicated, not too simple too I sunk at least 45 to 60 minutes for a in-game day I almost like more the farm-sim elements than the rest of the game, but it's got a beautiful story to it If you're looking for a game to unwind when you play a hardcore souls game or horror game and you can't go to sleep without alterning to something more colorful and calming I recommend to play this game on the side too

[@SEGAblocks]

Ys Origin deserves so much more love! Great pick for this list! Unfortunately I didn’t vibe with CrisTales. It’s not a bad game, just something about it that didn’t quite hit the mark for me. That being said, I have to agree it’s a great value for someone looking for a new different JRPG. I’ve heard nothing but great things about Sakuna. One I definitely wanna check out. Cybersleuth is another I’ve been wanting to check out! I see it at GameStop and my local gamestore everytime I go in but I keep passing it by. I gotta pull the trigger. DUSK DIVER!!! Yesss! 😍😍😍 One of the best games I have ever played and the price point just makes it even more if a must! Couldn’t agree more! Fantastic list my guy! Stay awesome brother! #HallowedBeThyGamers

I got Dusk Diver on PC not that long ago for super cheap, I think it might still be on in a bundle on Fanatical.

[@SirBobbyDuncan]

Generally speaking I will do my research and if the game is greater than 15 GB I will attempt to get it on cartridge.... However I do live in the middle of the desert, so the closest Walmart/store is 50+miles away. Regardless of the cost, I pay $10 per 5gb, ATT prepaid

[@charlesedwinbooks]

As a self proclaimed Cozy JRPG Farmer, let me try to convince you more to dive into these hybrid genres. It sounds like you're big into just JRPGs like I was when I was younger. I'm talking specifically playing JRPG style games like Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Shadow Hearts, Legend of Legaia, Digimon 2 and 3, Radiata Stories, etc. If you're wanting to enjoy games that are HEAVY JRPG where you can get your toes wet for farm sim/romancing jump into: Rune Factory 3 or 4 Maybe even start with 5 if you've never really played. I personally think 5 is the weakest of that trio, but, if you've never touched it before it could be a good step 1! After that I'd recommend Harvestella. I know you said you didn't really try it, but Harvestella was advertised really weird. They heavily push the farm sim part of that game as it being a massive center point. But really its probably 87% JRPG and then farm sim. The Story is huge and well planned out. Characters are fantastic, the region stories and characters archs are well written and enjoyable. The part where I believe people get weirded out is that fact it simply takes the best of farm sim and best of jrpg and gives you simple systems for both. So no die hard fan is going to be satisfied as its job system isn't deep enough for the jrpg fan, but the lack of customization and romancing will bother the average farm sim fan too. But really it is a perfectly balanced dish of the jrpg/farm sim genres. I cannot recommend it enough. Just try it until at least the end of Chapter 2, but if you can, until the end of Chapter 3. Also if you prefer more story to farm try out "My Time at Portia". Their game is more craft sim than farm, but combat, dungeon diving, and unique original story telling and community building is really focused in this title.

[@Crazy_Gamer_OG]

*Trials of Mana* was such a good remake. I wanted an Xbox version but it never came out so I got it on Switch.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

That sucks I didn't know that. Happy you were able to get it tho!

Great selection of games, and I might pick up a few of these. I am surprised that SMT3 has stayed at a relatively inexpensive price for so long.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

Thanks! Yeah Nocturne has surprised me too

[@A.Hanson]

Had some of these, added others to my cart. Cris Tales was always off putting to me because the art style made it look like an indie game.

[@Calruxio]

Honestly the gameplay of Harvestella is really good. Theres just quite a few odd design choices here and there. I also dont care much for androgynous character designs but this MC was relatively good. As for Cyber Sleuth, me and a whole bunch of Digimon fans have been singing its praises since it came out on vita. We got a sequel with Hackers Memory but i still want more of that style of Digimon.

[@whitewolf3051]

Heard from a few KZbin reviews of Harvestella, apparently no matter which gender you pick, the feminine or effeminate looking one is the default model. *If* that's true, other than some mechanics, not my choice. Have been playing the Digimon Cybersleuth (physical two pack) and enjoying it. Kind of wish I had picked up Trials of Mana physically. Love Monster Hunter Rise. Enjoying Dusk Diver, picked it up after preordering it.

[@blkdragon326]

Have played harvestella its a great game 8/10 in my Opinion

[@JeannieLove]

Sorry for a2nd comment, but my other was long enough. I think we've gone past "JRPG" referring to just Japan made games because Chinese and South Korean developers have adopted that style as well. And they've been starting to release more games outside their countries and being recognized for it. Until the last few South Korea has been mostly known for MMOs and Magna Carta Tears of Blood on PS2 is the first time I am aware of one of those non mmo games being published in English. I miss the old Atlus.

[@justinrazon7200]

Astria Ascending is a great game. But one major thing that I wanted to point out that... lessened my experience for this game is the Skill Tree. You can't unlock the entire skill tree in the main game. It is only accessible post game and it sucks. I was constantly looking at my skill tree as I progress thinking when I can have access to that one part of the skill tree that is literally viewable right from the start. I beat the game and didn't have access to it. And no I didn't miss something, you really can only unlock it post-game. If it was hidden and after you got to post game then it showed up, then that would have been a great surprise. But being viewable and constantly taunting you throughout the entire game was a terrible decision by the dev. Still a good game, and it may end up as someone's favorite so as long as it doesn't affect you or you read this comment beforehand.

[@ChadOfStats]

Harvestella is great! My only problem with it was the full pricetag. But at that price I say go for it! Also I still need to try out Sakuna myself.

[@SoverineSR]

Rune Factory has been my favorite series since I bought the first game on a whim while it was new. I kind of just love those "grind up life skills" games that happen to be in a RPG setting, only games that hit the same vibes to me are the MMOs Runescape and Mabinogi. It's nice to just have a singleplayer experience for it, and I certainly wouldn't complain about the opportunity to slide in some romance. After 4, the team that made the games disbanded and we thought the series was gone forever, and nobody really wanted to fill in that niche in the same way RF did. Eventually, the team got back together under a new company or something, and we surprisingly got a 5th release... and everyone was disappointed by it. To this day, I think the first is the best game in the series. It's an unpopular opinion in the fandom, but I just think the dungeon design in every other game was worse, and every other main-line game leaned on a gimmick to stand out. Now that we've had a remaster of 4 and 3 (the fan favorites), I'd love to see 1 get done as well, with modernized controls, a more fleshed out equipment pool, and the conversation pool for NPCs being expanded to the levels we see in 4.

[@Giantslayer999]

Your really thrashing out all these jrpg video’s 😂😂

[@Aurelyn]

Highly recommend diving into harvestella even if the gameplay looks meh. The farming sim aspect is bad compared to other farm sims. The combat is bad compared to other action RPGs. But the story GOES SO HARD. It's hard to say how good the story is without spoiling it so just trust me bro. It's also cool that you can equip 3 classes at the same time and swap between any of them in combat to make your own playstyle and you unlock new classes all the time, there are a lot of them.

[@skyrius5568]

How well does Nier Automata actually run on switch? I saw that it was a lot cheaper than steam (minus sales periods) but games on the switch vary wildly for optimization (looking at you pokemon and rune factory 5) to the point where sometimes i actually hit sub 12fps. Not as much of a problem for turn based games, but action based ones become almost unbearable at that rate

[@Archetype_Angel]

Some notes to take into consideration: . -Y's series. As a story-driven player, I must say most Y's games are on the weaker side. But man the gameplay is fire and the music boost the experience pretty hard. Again my only complain is the story. . Nier Automata: is a must buy. . Rune Factory games: It has simple but enjoyable combat, farming and ranching are the main goal with a bit of dating sim, just like Harvest Moon. No cons except some characters may be a bit bland. . SMT Nocturne: again as a story-driven player, and a Persona enjoyer, Megaten titles are, in comparison, depressing. Nocturne was my first experience where as the story progress only makes me hope for things to get better. It does not. Heck, after many tries all endings felt like bad endings and made me search online if I was taking the wrong decisions somewhere but nope, that's all we get. . Monster Hunter: The 5 titles I've played have been weak on the story part. The mechanics are good but honestly, I enjoyed Toukiden more.

[@Synanova]

I'm a big story-driven player as well, and I was thinking about starting up Ys 8 since fans say it has the best story. If you played that one, in your opinion, is the story very weak as well? Also, since you are like me and if you haven't already, I would recommend 13 Sentinels or Final Fantasy Tactics/War of Lions. Since those games have been some of the top ten best story-driven games I have ever played.

[@Archetype_Angel]

@@Synanova Yes. The story felt a bit generic tbh. I remember the gameplay, but after many years since I last finished it, I can tell you that it left no impact on me since I really don't remember Y's 8 story at all. . 13 sentinels is on my list as a Vanillaware title, and on that note, I hope you have the chance to play both Muramasa and Odin Sphere, those are among my top 10 of all time. . and FFT is just**chef kiss**

[@Synanova]

@AngelLozano447 I know what you mean. I had the same feeling about a game called Trails in the Sky, SC. Really nothing memorable, but still had dope dialogue and somewhat of an intriguing story, but overall very underwhelming compared to the first. I feel people who hype the Trails series are in the same vein as this generation and rave about all these mediocre story-driven games nowadays. A lot of these games just ain't it. I believe I've been spoiled after playing Nier Automata, 13 Sen, FFT, Xenosaga, Yakuza 0, and a few others. It may seem like a lot, but it's a dime a dozen when you take 20 years or more of gaming history. Also, I have never heard of Muramasa but will put it on my list to play since you recommended it. As far as Odin Sphere, I bought it for my PS5, but I just haven't gotten around to playing it. Lastly, I also recommend a game named Lisa; top ten for sure. 💯

@@Synanova well, I see you're a person of culture as well! After hearing those titles it's no wonder you're not easily impressed, they're not made like the rest. . In my case, besides the one you mentioned some staples were Metal Gear Solid 3, Persona 5 Royal, Final Fantasy X and Ar Tonelico 1 & 2 which it has some fanservice since it's from Gust, but if you can bear with it, the story is great. Undertale was quite the experience too if you go in blind. . Try Odin Sphere, the Leifthrasir version if possible. I guarantee you won't regret it.

@@Archetype_Angel Absolutely! And yes, you named a few that are on my list as well. MGS3, FF10, and P5 are all amazing games. However, P4 dropped the ball for me heavily once I got through that letdown. Such lost potential due to silly villain reasoning and nonsensical plot twists and plot connections that a grade schooler could do better. Also, I never heard of Ar Tonelico; where would you rank it from a top 20 list? And "fan service" is one of the banes of the media for me. I don't like it either in my games or anime since it almost always foreshadows the story. As if writers are more concerned with showing boobies than telling a great story. However, I'll take your word and update the list of games I have to play by putting that one there to check out. And yes, I keep forgetting to play Undertale with my laundry list of games. Lol And yes, Odin Sphere will soon be up next.

mhr rise is good despite it flaws and lack of faithfulness to it's predecessor series. lot of things is new which is made to accomodate a more casual new gen hunter even more than what world already did to the point it doesnt feel like being a 'hunter' anymore. no more seeking track, no moretracking monster with paintball, no more utilizing environment and choosing preferable battleground to fight, no more risks of being unable to runaway when got hit of monster. less tactical hunt, more frenzy fight, your hunter is superhuman so play the game like DMC. monster brawler rise is a more apt name for it. but still its the best monster hunter switch ever have

15:51 Not really. Despite of not being really popular, the game hasn't had any deep discount. Maybe in two years it'll be 50% off.

I wish people with clout or some measure of celebrity didn't say, "I am so humbled by your support" or some other bullshit. Like, dude, if you were actually by definition 'humble', you would not be in this business. It just rings so hollow and fake.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

I can confidently say I don't feel humbled by your support.

I would like to see more real gameplay in stead of in game videos, the first gives a much better idea that the game is something for you or not; just saying

[@tonyb7866]

Saying that the 2nd Dusk Diver is better than the first game is just a bad take. While I agree the game gets more hate than it deserves it is not better than the first game. They messed up the best part of the first game the beat ‘em up combat.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

? Legit they add so much combat diversity to the best em up combat. You play it for more than a hour?

[@tonyb7866]

@@HallowedBeThyGame I played until at least the 4th area. So yes I played more than an hour. Not sure if I was a potential exception but the game ran worse in the main city. Definitely like that they added a bit more variety/ options to the combat. That being said in my opinion the combat additions can only do so much when even basic enemies have too much health and seem to only have so much health so they don’t have to put in more enemies into the level. For me and most people I talked to this made the combat not fun to engage with compared to the first game. Would love to hear more on why you think the second game is better.

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

did multiple videos on why, you could start at my review. From a combat perspective its no comparison. More depth to beat em up action. Game slapped in combat. But I think we just have two wildly different views of what is fun in combat.

[@tonyb7866]

@@HallowedBeThyGame Fair enough. Will check out the videos.

Dunno, I consider Maglam Lord my 2nd worst gaming purchase ever. Would not recommend it even for free.

Dusk Diver is way too badass not to included Undernaunts has been on my radar for sometime (and my amazon wishlist ha) this makes me like it more now

Yah! Another Dusk Diver fan is watching!
