Did you know there's a Lord of the Rings shooter? How about a Lord of the Rings Castlevania? Or a Lord of the Rings Metroidvania? That's right, today, we're going to play some weird and bizarre games based around Tolkien's books and the Peter Jackson movies.
Strap in, it's about to get weird.
00:00 - A Final Fantasy 10 clone of LOTR
01:09 - A LOTR MetroidVania
05:30 - THE WORST GAME EVER MADE!
08:11 - A LOTR Castlevania
11:43 - A LOTR Shooter?!
12:21 - A LOTR Anime
14:35 - Pocky & Rocky
16:04 - A LOTR Fighting Game
19:15 - Where you can find these games

It started with the forging of the great Films. The threads were given by Tolkien, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. The rights were granted to Jackson, the great mountain miner and craftsman of the mountain of lore .And nine, nine hours were given to the race of men, who above all else desire quality. But they were all of them deceived, for another show was made. In the Land of Amazon, in the fires of Mount Prime, the Dark Lord Bezos forged in secret a Master Flop. And in to this show he poured his money, his greed and his will to dominate every film. ONE SHOW TO RUIN THEM ALL ⚔️

I think the bootleg Metroidvania could use an improved remake: make it a little more puzzle oriented, encouraging you to use the abilities of the cast (kinda like lost vikings), no spawnable enemy, most of them being fodder easy to dispose of and a single type enemy which requires a little strategical reflection to defeat.

This was a pretty nice video! You know St1ka, I have a suggestion for you for a very interesting topic in a beloved series: The Elder Scrolls Ngage game. It is astonishingly impressive for a 2004 phone game, and pretty much like a miniature normal Elder scrolls game, like something you would expect to see on a much stronger handheld like the PSP. So i think it is very much worth talking about, and the fact that it is an elder scrolls game will mean lots of eyes on the video too! and as a bonus, you can talk about the 3 elder scroll games on normal phones. They are way less impressive, but they are also a pretty interesting topic that is pretty much never talked about, and they fit the video :) PS: The Bioshock and Resident Evil phone games are pretty interesting topic too :)
@st1ka
@st1ka Жыл бұрын
Oh yeah, Elder Scrolls: Shadowkey is pretty interesting. In fact, there's some interesting and forgotten Elder Scroll spin-offs out there including a point and click adventure game if I'm not mistaken. I never thought about making a video about this topic mostly because RPGs require a large time commitment, but it's definitely worth looking into.
@fayezfawzi3255
@fayezfawzi3255 Жыл бұрын
@@st1ka well, I don't think those require that much time and commitment because they were designed for mobile systems on the go after all, and with the phone technical limitations to boot. I know for a fact the 3 normal phone games are pretty quick to finish (especially the 3rd one called "Oblivion mobile" or something lol) so the only one that will require some time from you will be the Ngage one, and even it wouldn't require nearly as long as any of the mainline entries. So I don't think you need to worry much about that :) And the BioShock and Tomb Raider phone games arent long either ;).

The thing about VF going legit is, they kinda did. During the early 90s staff from VF (VF was not a thing until 1998) developed monochrome gameboy games that got published by a company called Gowin. Those games while unlicensed appear to be originals that did not borrow from other companies. VF was more of a developer than a publisher though. In works where they were self published (meaning explicitly credited) they seem to borrow a lot less from other companies. They only released games in a few not so strict regions, so maybe by those places standards they were legit

Funny you should mention the idea of Sintax doing another Castlevania game for LOTR. They kinda did. Yep, another reskin of Castlevania DX. Thankfully hitboxes line up a lot better in that reskin compared to the Rockman one. I think I can explain at least some of the jank in Sintax platformers. If you input left or right on the d-pad the same frame you jump, your jump will not come out. This can be tested by mapping jump and the d-pad to the same button on some emulators. This won't happen often in gameplay, but if you are playing for a while, then it is bound to happen here and there

Okay, all the character names in the LotR shmup are amazing but what the sweet, tasty, _hell_ is going on in those character descriptions?! What role does a "Rojins" have? How 'bout a "Jali?" A... Sherd? "Shield,," maybe? What exactly is a "punitive expedition?" I assume it's what they calling the journey to Judgement Day Mountain but... such a weird way to phrase it... "A coarseness man," "row or column of the evil boundary..." It's all _spelt_ right, somehow, but it feels like a direct assault on my Inner Grammar Inquisitor via tactical Engrish-nuke and I kinda love it.

Very interesting set of games. Kind of surprised that they latched onto LoTR of all franchises, but then again, I've never been a big LoTR fan. Also, never knew that EA made a FF10 clone set in LoTR, now that's definitely an interesting find. An official bootleg, go figure that.

​@@st1ka Well, that's not surprizing since it's incredibly insular to Russia :D Basically, in late 90-s -> early 2000's there was a popular translator under a nickname "Goblin" (Real name - Dmitry Puchkov) who, among other, more proper translations, has been making a "funny" Hoolywood movie dubbing. His classic humor was revolving around Adult Swim-like absurdism and wordplay. Eventually he got so big and beloved, that in 2006 Gaijin Entertainment (Mostly known today for War Thunder) made a game after the first Goblin(tm) rendition of the Lord of the Rings. Later, in 2009, came the sequel. The games have been launched only on PC, and were in essence an unsophisticated hack-and-slash, nothing to write home about. The local reviews were pretty bad, about 5 out of 10 or something. Not sure how possible it is to find these games online and how do they run on the modern systems.
