Really Obscure RPGs

[Lord_Potato]

True that.

I completed Gorky 17 last year but did not even consider reviewing it for this thread. Not obscure enough IMO.

Anyone think Odium being obscure can just AGREE my post.

I'd argue that anything currently available on both Steam and GoG really can't be all that obscure. When I think obscure, I'd also usually disqualify anything that has its own Wikipedia page.

Did anybody mention Arcatera: The Dark Brotherhood? It's Ubisoft trying to make an updated Quest for Glory, as if they had only heard about the game and never played it. It's sometimes hilarious, but mostly just plain weird.

Yup, it's up there, page 1, post 1

GoG I'd agree. They have limited, curated catalog. But Steam has so much content, that I'm sure there are many obscure titles noone knows (or gives a fuck) about.

That's why I used the word "and". If it was just on Steam (possibly even just on GoG), I'd have to give it a second look.

 

[Lord_Potato]

Ok, both. Got it

Anyone have an opinion on Dr. Dungeon's Madman! ? Wondering if it's worth purchasing. I enjoyed playing his Ultizurk series of games when I was younger and he made an updated "remake" of Madman which he released to Steam, but I didn't know about it until recently.

You seem pretty upset. Here, this might help.

You're an utter retard. You should check out those awesome-colored beverages under your mommy's sink.

Holy shit, are you actually still over there raging about this? I already gave you the shampoo. I don't know how else to help you.

The reviews seem promising...

2017 suddenly feels so long ago.

Odium aka Gorky17

It's turnbased squadbased resource-management RPG. Very nice game. Shame it's so short.

Good game, but I'm not really sure it's all that obscure. It's on a whole lot of "Underrated RPG" lists, is sold on GOG and has about 1200 reviews on Steam.

I think it was quite obscure when it was released.

Yeah, but that's not really the point. It's not obscure *now*.

 

[ProphetSword]

Gorky 17 wasn't that obscure, I don't think. I own a copy of it on the original CD still that I bought when it was new.

If you want obscure, then you can talk about the two sequel/prequels the game: "Gorky Zero: Beyond Honor" (2003) and "Gorky Zero 2: Aurora Watching" (aka "Soldier Elite") (2005). Now, those are fucking obscure.

Well Obscure RPGs would be:
Drakensang.
Drakensang RotT.
Demonicon

Soul Nomad and World eaters.
Overlord. (wasn't obscure, but it's obscure now)
Golden Sun.
Golden Sun II.

Did anyone finish it?

I saw walkthough but never finished. Anyone on youtube?

 

[Lord_Potato]

Might be difficult.

I tried to install it on 4 different computers, with Windows xp, 7 and 10. No luck.

And when it does run, it's afflicted by numerous bugs, some of them gamebreaking.

 

[octavius]

How about Lords of Time?

 

[Whisper]

Guys, anyone finished Arcatera: The Dark Brotherhood?

Or knows any Lets Play for it?
