Is there any cool game where i can just pick up a sword and run into enemies? I don't want jrpgs nor old rpgs in "ultima" style; something more arcade like the first legacy of kain would be good. Bonus points if the animation is well done; not clunky.

You know, it's not retro, but you should check out The Last Story on Wii. Its battle system is exactly as you describe.

well visually it's pretty simple, but it has an arcade style: Fatal Labyrinth for the genesis/md is straight forward kill monsters in randomly generated dungeons without all the story and bullshit in order to collect gold that is only used on a bigger and better funeral when you eventually die.

Crusader of Centy is okay. Nothing spectacular though.

I think Beyond Oasis is really good. Slow to start but pretty neat.

Zelda is more about exploring dungeons and solving puzzles and using various items more than "pick up a sword and run into enemies".

Xak: The Art of Visual Stage for the MSX2. Any game with bump combat will do this for you.

I'm trying to think of melee action/arcade games with an overhead view and not coming up with a single thing

Diablo, kinda, but even then not quite

They're all adventure or rpg hybrids

Shame on you all


Gauntlet Legends was my favorite and N64 is best version. It should be noted it emulates quite poorly.

This hidden gem on the NES.

It's like a mix between the first Zelda and ALTTP, with an overworld with towns, and different kinds of dungeons, probably what Zelda 2 would have been if they kept the original formula.

Also, the music, sweet Jesus, listen to that music:

Ys Origins, Dragon Valor, or Knights of the Round is probably what you're looking for.

A lot of these are either more or less jRPG or incorporate a bunch of different kinds of gameplay elements but:

Soul Blazer
Threads of Fate
Brave Fencer Musashi
Landstalker
Alundra / Alundra 2
Tenchu
Beyond Oasis as somebody said
Castlevania: SotN
Brain Lord
Way of the Samurai
Dicing Knight
Strider
Evergrace
Devil May Cry
Kingdom Hearts
Summon Night 2: Swordcraft Story
Tales of Destiny
