Fun title. A mix of strategy and fighting game elements. I remember it being pretty challenging. Voice work by the legendary Japanese actor Mako. Would be cool to play it again.
Been looking for this game on PC for years and years, I can't believe they haven't ported this over yet. We used to love to play this game head to head, it is inspired by the old C-64/NES game Archon which has the exact same mechanics.
Preservation Proposal: Wrath Unleashed on GOG
In the ever-evolving landscape of digital entertainment, it is crucial to preserve unique and genre-blending titles that risk fading into obscurity due to hardware limitations and lack of digital availability. One such title deserving a revival is Wrath Unleashed—a strategic action-fantasy hybrid developed by The Collective and published by LucasArts in 2004 for PlayStation 2 and Xbox.
Wrath Unleashed is a rare gem that combined turn-based strategy with real-time arena combat, all set against a mythologically rich world divided between Order and Chaos, Light and Dark. Featuring god-like demigods commanding armies across a board-game-style map, the game demanded tactical thinking, unit synergy, and individual combat prowess. It blended the cerebral depth of Risk or Heroes of Might and Magic with the visceral thrill of Power Stone-style duels. Few titles before or since have married these mechanics so fluidly.
What makes Wrath Unleashed an essential candidate for digital preservation on GOG is its uniqueness and untapped potential for rediscovery. Despite mixed reviews at launch—largely due to its unconventional design—it has cultivated a modest but vocal cult following. In a gaming world increasingly embracing remasters, reimaginings, and indie revivals of niche classics, Wrath Unleashed deserves a second life, especially on a platform like GOG that champions DRM-free access and archival efforts.
Additionally, the game’s creative DNA is a time capsule of early 2000s experimentation from a now-defunct developer (The Collective) and a pre-Disney LucasArts. With original Xbox and PS2 hardware aging and physical media degrading, GOG represents one of the few platforms that could ensure Wrath Unleashed remains playable and accessible to future generations.
Releasing Wrath Unleashed on GOG would not only preserve a distinctive piece of interactive art—it would offer players a window into a bold, imaginative title that dare

Onimusha 3: Demon SiegeOnimusha 3 is the third game of the Onimusha series. The game retains elements from previous games in the franchise including the use of multiple special weapons in order to fight enemies and absorb their energy to enhance the weaponry. This time the player primarily controls both Samanosuke and Jacques in separate scenarios. The two are able to exchange items in order to solve puzzles. The development from this game started after the release of the PlayStation 2 which allowed the team to work on a 3D engine to design 3D backgrounds. In order to appeal to the Western market, the team set this game in Paris and chose French actor Jean Reno to portray Jacques.
Onimusha 3 has been generally well received by publications for video games. Most of the writer's praise focused on the improved controls and the use of a 3D engine that allowed better combat and visuals, respectively. The game also generated good sales with over 1.5 million copies sold as of May 2008.Action Historical

Jet Set Radio HDJet Set Radio HD is the latest remaster in a string of Dreamcast "hits" to see new life on download platforms, but Sega has been insistent that they've learned its lessons. The publisher has emphasized how hard it's trying to get things right this time, and for many, it couldn't have chosen a better game.
Jet Set Radio was part of Sega's onslaught of new properties with an emphasis on flash and style during the second wave of Dreamcast software, but it might be one of the more obscure. It's a game that almost everyone has heard of, but I think few have actually played. This was remedied somewhat with 2002's Xbox sequel Jet Set Radio Future. Unlike Sonic Adventure or the arcade hit Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio HD is the chance for many to finally play a game they've only heard about.
Nostalgia has the side effect of high expectations though, and Jet Set Radio HD just can't meet them. While the flash and style of Jet Set Radio HD remains untouched and unvarnished by a dozen years of progress, the rest of it can't stand up to scrutiny. Squirrely controls, camera catastrophes, and nonsensical level design make Jet Set Radio HD a better memory than game.Action
Fatal FrameFatal Frame is the first game of the Fatal Frame series, introducing the franchise's unique premise of fighting ghosts with a special camera.
Fatal Frame was the first to introduce the innovative use of an old-style camera as the primary weapon. In addition to navigating the main characters around the mansion grounds, players are able to enter Viewfinder Mode, where the camera is raised and the view changes to that of the camera's frame. In viewfinder mode the player is able to snap photographs of ghosts, both violent and benign, which is the main method of progressing through the game. Items are also available, some being consumable and most being key items needed to unlock doors, complete tasks or solve puzzles. Puzzles are encountered frequently in the game, some being based on the same concept but becoming progressively more difficult. The varying difficulty settings of the game (Easy, Normal, Hard, Nightmare, or Fatal (Xbox only)) determine the amount of consumable items scattered throughout the mansion and how formidable the enemies are.
The main horror aspect of the game is, undoubtedly, the ghosts. The mechanics programmed for the ghosts allow them to float ethereally through the air, walls and floors, and even teleport, allowing them many ways to attack the player. The ghosts' appearances are usually inspired by their deaths or by Japanese stigmas of horror, which, some argue, are particularily chilling.
The game, depending on which console it is played on, offers two endings. Upon completion of the game, a ranking is given based on total time taken, points accumulated and other categories. The player is also given rewards and unlockables, such as alternate costumes and camera functions, depending on what difficulty was beaten, how much of the Ghost List was completed and other criteria. Beating the game also unlocks Battle Mode, where the player is faced with fighting specific ghosts, and is rewarded with points towards purchasing unlockables. An option is also given where the game can be replayed with all equipment, upgrades and unlockables carried over.Horror Survival
