Na Hong-jin's The Chaser was good stuff.

I was a bit apprehensive since The Wailing didn't click for me, but I'm glad I gave this director a second chance.

DR2A starts tougher than DR1 or even DR2.

But then you gain a few levels, learn a few skills, storm through the dungeon, and keep the boss paralyzed while kicking his ass into oblivion.

I think a certain sense of risk vs reward was necessary to keep the concept interesting.

The game taught me to resist the urge to Alt-Tab by crashing. I decided to roll a new party to see what kind of shenanigans I can get away with.

Say hi to Kazundo, Itsuhito, Hitori, and Masato.

I figured out how to add cursed items to DR2A.

I'm going to regret this decision.

I feel like adding meme weapons like a full-blown ballista and watching players deal 5x the amount of damage at the expense of having to deal with slow-ass attack speed.

I revamped the battle system, which allowed me to develop attack patterns instead of the old "strike once when the hidden ATB bar is filled".

Fast weapons now usually perform 2 weak attacks, while heavy weapons hit once for massive damage.

Still tweaking the overall flow.

Also unrelated to DRPGs, but Metro Quester should be right up your alley.

I had fun with Wizardry Variants Daphne.

Also, MonoRogue doesn't quite fit the bill, but it's a nice distraction while commuting.

I was curious to see why Wangan Trial on the PS1 has two discs, and now I know - it has a story mode with FMVs!

So it was you. I'm going to travel back in time and place banana peels around your computer.

Wizardry Variants Daphne introduced a new type of trap to the series: opening a chest causes the game to crash.

Hardcore!

Fun fact: To my knowledge, 1995 and 1996 was the Peak of Japan's FPS development era.

To my knowledge, Japan made a whopping 14 First Person Shooters during period

Here’s what I ended up putting my hand on this #RandomGameSaturday! After Devil Force is a PC exclusive strategy game by Compile, and the final game in their Devil Force series!

A photo showing the box for After Devil Force (PC). It’s a large plastic rectangle with a paper insert underneath a clear cover. The front has the games title at the top in English, with an ensemble illustration of the fantasy cast below.
