/vr/ - Retro Games

Are you fucking autistic or something?
It’s LandStalker, jackass.
Yes, it is an enjoyable adventure game.

>>10726597
light crusader
arcus odyssey

Still unmatched in terms of artstyle

>>10726667
I don';t think it's isometric

>>10726673
The camera perspective changes slightly in degrees but you can still argue it's isometric. Just as BG1 or Divinity are.

>>10726597
Knight Lore of course!

>>10726597
There is no bad isometric game. They’re guaranteed to be at least okay.

>>10726597
It is the only one just for me.

>>10726735
Based.
I think head over heels is the greatest though.

>>10726597
Looks nice... however LUDO Runner 2 is still at the top for me.

>>10726739
Riviera for GBA is exceedingly boring, thought it was a cool RPG but it's just a shitty dating sim masquerading as one.

>>10726769
Lmao, the dating sim part is only a sidenote for fanservice.
It's RPG and semi-CYOA elements are more solid than the railroad number grindfests posing as RPGs.

Landstalker was fantastic.

Everyone here always have to be such a contrarian, claiming some obscure ass game as your favorite. Just admit that it's either Diablo 2, Fallout 2 or The Sims already. Geez...

>>10727085
shut the fuck up, hylic.

>>10726793
>the dating sim part is only a sidenote for fanservice
It wasn't, because the girl that likes you most determines your ending. Still a good game though.

>>10726735
what the bloody hell is that smear filter messing up me beloved speccy classic?

>>10727095
You'll always go for default ending with your pet familiar if you dunk on girls advances via dialogue options and it's very easy to miss bath scenes.
Monster battles are much more prominent than romance scenes due to items exp system.

Sudden Strike and Blitzkrieg.

Too bad infantry is pretty damn hard to spot in these games.

Cossacks/American Conquest too, those hohols sure make some pretty buildings.

>>10727085
>YOUR FAVORITE HAS TO BE ONE OF THE ONE THE MAJORITY LIKES
Faggot

>>10726761
Didn't know this game looked so good.

last city builder with SOVL

Monster Max. Simple, but very soulful.

>>10727238
It's even better in motion. When I first played the demo version I was so impressed that I didn't even mind getting curbstomped by enemies.

>>10726597

>>10727237
I just find it a tad bit ridiculous how everyone's FAVORITE isometric game just so happens to be some obscure game that nobody has ever heard off. Everyone's just trying to be special by claiming to like the most crappy obscure game ever.

My FAVORITE isometric game is Firo and Klawd. In fact as soon as I saw this thread I got a strong urge to replay it for the 28th time, haha. Nothing quite scratches my isometric game itch like Firo and Klawd.

>isometric game
>up on the dpad moves northeast
trash

>>10727095
I digged the CYOA format and the battle system. Also had fun bullying Lina with my girl Serene.
>>10726769
If you want boring, try Monstania (SNES)

OT, in terms of aesthetics, Anno 1603 is my fav.

Marble Madness

>>10727343
Faggot.

>>10727094
Makai Kingdom was better

>>10727407
I tried it after PB but couldn't get into it, maybe I should give it another go.

>>10727390
What she said

>>10727351
>isometric game on a controller

>>10727390
>>10727480
I couldn't agree more. You guys should try Super Monkey Ball for the PS2.

>>10726667
Yuck

>>10727506
>game uses button inputs
holy crap

>>10726597

>>10727343
>Firo and Klawd
I remember seeing this game in a magazine and loved how it looked. I've always liked the looks of isometric games, regardless of gameplay (Crusader: No Regret/Remorse and Little Big Adventure come to mind).
Anyways, turns out the game was eurojank that was either hard as fuck to find in the USA or maybe wasn't even released there. But hey I was able to play it 20 years later.

>>10726597
ff tactics

>>10726597
XCOM or Sims 2. It's hard to pick

For me it was Majesty. Spent a lot of hours as a kid fucking around.

>>10726667
What game is this?

>>10728080
Planescape Torment

>>10726597
I would say this, Shadowrun on SNES, or Super Mario RPG

>>10726815
Based.

>>10727216
This looks fun.

>>10726815
>>10728278

Had the gold box version of this with the America expansion. Great game.

>z-levels
>voxels
>cool-ass pre-rendered animations
>physics and weird interactions
yep, it's based

did anyone else play little big adventure as a kid?
the game was so confusing to me but i ended up beating it somehow one summer

>>10728962
I tried playing it, but it had some of the floatiest controls I've ever seen in an adventure game.

>>10726667
Artstyle is one of the only things about that game that has been easily matched and surpassed countless times.

>>10727343
It's not that everyone has a special unique favorite game, it's that everyone who's favorite is obvious shit like Diablo won't feel compelled to post about it. What's the point?

>>10728962
Is the PSX version any good?

>>10727573
I bought this when it came out, I remember being disappointed.

>>10728976
How so?

>>10726761
man, that's really nice
why can't we have this kind of soulful art style anymore

max payne gba port

My vote is Jagged Alliance 2 with 1.13 mod

>>10727216
I remember playing SS2 + Real Warfare Mod with my friend in high-school. So many good battles.

>>10727292
Amazing soundtrack

>>10729482
>we never get to win the game by using the SAM sites to shoot down Deidranna's personal helicopter
missed opportunity

>>10728965
the controls were so bad lol
>>10728983
i played only on the PC. i never even played the sequel cause we bought it and it required a 4x CD-ROM and ours was only 2x

>>10726735
speccy is mint innit

>>10726597
Sonic 3D Blast/Flickies' Island
It's a competent 3D/Isometric platformer that followed the Collect-A-Thon style so common from the 5th console generation and added a little of Sonic's speed and elements to it... it's really not the "3D" Sonic fans wanted, mostly when we talk about the Saturn, but I find it so fun to play, and the level design's excellent to explore, it's a stellar Collect-A-Thon to me still.

>>10727085
It's this, but I can't fault people for liking other ones. If the game is isometrical, chances are it's kino

Escape from the planet of the robot monsters

For me? It's bad eurojank with amazing visuals

>>10726815
Decades later and I can still feel the filter from this game.
Cool game but it owned me

>>10728732
This. You can't go wrong with any of the Command & Conquer games.

>>10726597
buck rogers countdown to doomsday. the ip is retarded but its the best 16bit srpg

when amiger eurojank and sovlful charm collide

lol

Every time Head Over Heels is played an abandoned dog gets a new home somewhere in the world

>>10726667
P:T is probably my favorite game, but its art style is horrendous.

>>10730554
lol

back when rare was clever british rather than slapdash british

>>10730860
What's that

>>10731873
snake rattle and roll
fun and unique but frustrating
you never get the whole view on the nes obviously but it still looks really good imho

>>10726597
Django's game

>>10726597

>>10731927

>>10726597
I remember thinking the Commandos game slooked quite nice back in the day.

The mushroom forest in this game was peak fearie ludo

Get on my level.

Beyond Oasis and Links Awakening are the very very best I've played.

>>10732239
Wouldn't consider Link's Awakening isometric, it got a top-down view.

>>10732336
>Beyond Oasis
Same goes for Beyond Oasis. Not isometric.

I gotta add Vandal Hearts. Loved that game!

>>10726632
Crazy how Diablo straight up ripped treasure off

>>10726597
The Sims 1.

>>10732212
Cecil, you madman...playing Amiga. It really does have nice graphics.

I would kill for a XCOM styled game with the environment physics of Silent Storm.

>>10732674
>Vandal Hearts
Awful example. I dropped that especially because it looked like shit.

>>10726597
Crusader: No Remorse

So can someone tell me why nobody has made an isometric minecraft yet?

>>10726597
same

>>10727519
>>10728976
>>10730554
it's a shitty blurry upscaled screenshot niggers

>>10727343
I never heard of this but I heard of every game named before your post lol

>>10733669
Thanks buddeh, love me Amiga. Simple as.

>>10734528
I played the game, dum-dum.

>>10734037
>Boku no Red Boba Fett
Came to post this.

Soldiers At War was epic.

>>10732336
I didn't really realize the distinction. I don't think I've really played any isometric games I've liked. Does Diablo 2 count? I'm not big into those tactics games like xcom and jagged alliance because they were way too brutally difficult for me. Oh wait I guess fallout 1 is the best I've played.

>>10727094
what's this gay anime slop garbage

>>10735235
>I didn't really realize the distinction
it's pretty interesting geometry
connects directly to how crystals form in rock btw, since they have to tile in 3d irl

Isoniggers

shadowrun snes

Sick of pretending it isn't based. IT IS.

I love isometric games SO MUCH that I am creating one right now.

>>10727094
name of game?

>>10738310
Phantom Brave.

where my WHIZZ bros at?

>>10736962
Good luck!

>>10726632
Arcus Odyssey is so fucking good. I love the colors on Genesis like nothing else.

>>10727343

Rayman Hoodlums Revenge

The art style in Shadow Sorcerer is pure kino but the game is hot garbage

Dunno why, but I had a thing for Rings of Power. I even finished it, with the help of the guide included in the game.

>>10739994
>Those portraits.
Are they the characters from Heroes of the Lance?
Also a shitty game, but at least yours look cute.

>>10726632
>>10739374
MATL when?

>>10740930
Same character portraits from HoTL.

>>10741772
Been hoping for over a decade that Arcus I II III gets some kind of English translation.

>>10739584
does abandonware count?
>casualty
>Casualties

>>10729802
It's a legitimately good game, probably one of my favorites on Saturn next to NiGHTS and Sonic R. I grew up with the Genesis version, but the enhanced visuals and Richard Jacques soundtrack add a lot to the game. And of course the new Special Spages.

>>10726769
Try dark half. No grinding and kino monster command system. That said, puzzles are AIDS
>>10726793
Kek. What cyoa elements? Shit is literally a wannabe skinnerbox with SLOW as fuck everything and shit artstyle
>>10733978
There's a slient storm spinoff that almost does that, but it's j2me only.

>all of this soul
I am so sad that there is hardly an audience for these kinds of games anymore

>>10743086
>dark half
Is that the one where you control the hero and the villain at the same time? Very interesting concept, I remember reading about it back in the day.

Any light crusader chads in here.

>>10743075
I really wish I could give the Saturn version a full playthrough, but all of the hardware I have isn't enough to properly run Saturn emulation... well, maybe one day when I buy something that isn't comparable to a potato in performance I guess.

>>10743075
Saturn version doesn't have director's cut patch. I think that makes in inferior to Genesis.

>>10744635
Indeed, the DX version was a huge upgrade, full of QoL improvements, I just can't recommend it enough to those that didn't love Sonic 3D Blast at first, since it's something that can genuinely change their minds on it, I love that ROM hack.

Jon Burton simply rocks.
Also love his YouTube channel and stuff.

>>10726623
No, it's KINOStalker.

I will always hate how little of the map we will see

For me? Pac-Mania

>>10727343
Games that YOU have never heard of, tourist.

>>10726597
megaman battle network 2

>>10744635
I know, but it looks and sounds nicer.
