I knew it as Dark Chronicle (much cooler name, thank you Europe), but this was THE game of my childhood; it never felt like I needed anything else, and frankly it damaged my perception of other games by raising my expectations too much. It just seemed in a class of its own in terms of creativity, mechanics, and diversity.
I feel like this title practically redefines the term 'hidden gem'.
This thing has 3+ minigames each with their own set of in-depth rules and mechanics, each with a supporting game system. It has weapon creation and upgrades that were ridiculously in-depth for the time, and still surpass a lot of modern games. It has an unusual roguelite-style dungeon system with surprisingly dynamic combat and level variety, with heaps of underlying mechanics and little unique gameplay tricks. It is centered around a regional crafting and building system that interacts with contextual and story-defined character recruitment. It has unique and challenging bosses - even when it indulges in a bit of backtracking. It's got a relatively simple but effective (and occasionally very surprising) storyline on par with games like the Final Fantasies.
I may sound a bit obsessed, but I was just never able to get over the sheer amount of STUFF that was in this game - nothing else on the platform ever seemed to get close. And all along it was encapsulated in a really intriguing and unusual world, bonkers concepts, with music that still sticks in my head, endearing characters, and vibrant and beautiful graphics that hold up startlingly well, considering its age.
I went so far as to set it up on an emulator, but that always seemed to get bogged down in PC-side performance issues and glitches. Having this ported properly to PC would be a dream come true.
ok......let's get into it.
Dark Cloud 2 is one of the greatest games I've ever played. I've never played anything like it. it was way before it's time and have had many copycats to follow in it's footsteps. I have waited YEARS for another Dark Cloud and it seems like it will never happen.
So please, for the fans that have been fans of Level 5 ever since the original Dark Cloud came out....
release Dark Cloud 2 on GOG. please!!

Parasite EveParasite Eve is a survival horror role-playing video game developed and published by SquareSoft (now Square Enix) for the Sony PlayStation console. The game follows the story of Aya Brea, a rookie NYPD officer who becomes embroiled in a series of bizarre and deadly events related to a genetic mutation known as mitochondria. The game combines elements of horror, science fiction, and RPG gameplay, featuring real-time battles, exploration, puzzle-solving, and character development. The game's plot is inspired by the novel of the same name by Hideaki Sena, and its gameplay mechanics were influenced by the Final Fantasy series. Parasite Eve was critically acclaimed upon its release in 1998, and is widely regarded as a classic of the survival horror genre.Trending Action Fantasy Historical Horror Science fiction Stealth Survival
Parasite Eve IIParasite Eve II is an action role-playing survival horror video game released exclusively for the PlayStation. The game was developed by Square and published in Japan in 1999 and in both North America and, unlike the previous game, in PAL regions in 2000. It is the sequel to Parasite Eve and the second game in the series of the same name.
Parasite Eve II is set several years after the events in the original game. The protagonist from the first game, Aya Brea, also features in this game as the playable character. She becomes involved with another outbreak of Mitochondrial creatures. Gameplay diverges from the previous game: battles take place in real time and the area of action is less restrictive. The approach is more typical of traditional survival horror games, although some role-playing elements are retained.Trending Action Horror Science fiction Survival

Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VIIDirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII is an action role-playing third-person shooter. As the first shooter game in the Final Fantasy series, the action is viewed from an over-the-shoulder perspective similar to Resident Evil 4, although players can switch to a first-person perspective if they wish. Defeating enemies yields EXP, and at the end of each stage, the player can either use that EXP to level up, increasing Vincent's stats, or convert it to Gil (the in-game currency), which can then be used to purchase items and equipment upgrades.Action Fantasy Science fiction
