I played Zettai Hero Project and liked the mechanics and then I played Guided Fate Paradox. The hunger, in my opinion, was fixed either by losing less or having more enemies drop food more often. In addition the equipment degradation was replaced with the burst mechanic, which made them stronger as you go on the dungeons. Both of this changes made this game better and enjoyable for me. Although the story in Guided Fate Paradox was weaker than the one in Zettai Hero Proyect I still liked it. I was sad to see the sequel, Awakening Fate Ultimatum, simplify the mechanics a lot, especially by removing the equipment slots and only leaving the weapon-shield-relic that is usual in other mystery dungeon style games (the Shiren series, Touhou Genso Wanderer, etc.). Very few games have mechanics similar to ZHP or Guided Fate Paradox and wished that Guided Fate Paradox was available elsewhere. I know the game has its flaws (speed boosts are all but useless and finishing the game inmediately restarts the playthrough) but still had a very good time messing around with my equipment and looking for stronger versions in the extra dungeons. I would like to see it become availble and preserved in GOG because it is different than other roguelikes out there and fun on its own merits (in my opinion).

The final dungeon took me 13 Hours, cost a lot of blood, sweat and tears and I'd do it again, brother! I love the games story and the characters, i still listen to the soundtrack to this day. Haven't played many roguelikes, but this one is my favorite by far. The real challenge lies in the extra dungeons, it's nothin' but misery, in an ejoyable kind of way. I'd love to play through it all again 10/10

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
Metal Gear Solid: Peace WalkerMetal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is an action-adventure stealth video game and is the third action-based Metal Gear title made specifically for the PSP. The gameplay consists of two primary modes: Mission and Mother Base. Mission are the actual action sequences of the game where the player must infiltrate an enemy territory or fight a boss, whereas Mother Base is an army management. Some changes have been made to the standard Metal Gear formula: the player is now unable to move or shoot while laying down and while pinned to a wall, making Peace Walker the first game since Metal Gear to lack any crawling ability.

Mega Man Legends 3 Project
Mega Man Legends 3 ProjectMega Man Legends 3, known as Rockman DASH 3 in Japan, was a video game set to be the sequel to Mega Man Legends 2 and the fourth game in the Mega Man Legends series. It was announced for the Nintendo 3DS on September 29, 2010, during a Nintendo press conference for the 3DS. The game was to be directed by Masakuza Eguchi, with Tatsuya Kitabayashi acting as producer. Reo Uratani composed the game's music. Mega Man Legends 3: Prototype Version, known (roughly) as "Rockman DASH 3: The Prologue! Showing you the Game's Underbelly Version" in Japan, was an early version of the game that would be available for download in the Nintendo 3DS's eShop. The prototype would have feature playable segments as Barrett and ten missions. It was originally planned to be available upon the launch of the 3DS eShop on June 6, but it was delayed to be improved. Initially, it was said by Capcom that if the Mega Man Legends 3 Prototype Version does not do well upon its release in the eShop, Mega Man Legends 3 may be cancelled, but the Prototype Version was cancelled along with the main game. On July 18, 2011, a message was posted in the Devroom announcing the discontinuation of the project. The reason for the cancellation was that "it was not felt that the Mega Man Legends 3 project met the required criteria". No further explanation was given, and the Japanese Devroom was closed on August 19.
