I decided to create this thread, because I realized the fact there is so little information about this niche genre (1st person, hand crafted dungeons), its history and evolution on the internet. Thread about Expierence really helps, but it covers only this developer.
I played relatively new games and it would be great if someone will be able to enlighten me and others about older or hidden gems.
Really enjoyed:
Etrian Odyssey series
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey
Persona Q
Demon Gaze
Lost Heroes
Dungeon Travelers 2
King's Field IV
Shadow Tower: Abyss
Bonus - Theresia (it's first person adventure without enemies and isn't typical DRPG, but still want to mention it, so maybe more people play this gem)
Just listen this (reminds me Parasite Eve's OST) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqaPo6edM1k
Trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDcD06IP91A
Average:
Unchained Blades
Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers
Sol Trigger
Saigo no Yakusoku no Monogatari
Tokyo Mono Harashi
Moero Chronicle
Disliked:
Mind Zero
Class of Heroes 1,2 (thinking about giving a second chance, dropped too early)
Plan to play in the future:
Operation Abyss
Beyond the Labyrinth
Dark Spire
Lost Heroes 2
Seisou no Amazones (know nothing about it though)
UnchainBlades EXXiV
Shining in the darkness
Phantasy star
Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls (waiting for english vita version)
Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land (waiting for ps4 classics since my ps2 is broken. Atlus, please)
Elminage Original (no Gothic for me since I don't want to turn on my PC outside working hours)
other King's Field and Shadow Tower games
and all upcoming vita DRPG of course
What else am I missing?
And let's discuss this interesting genre.
