Y'all ever play Drakkhen?

I played it, years ago, and I adored the feel and atmosphere of the game. It feels so eerie and alien.

Are there any other games that have a similar sort of eerie, alien, somehow lonely atmosphere?

I haven't played Drakkhen, but I remember not understanding how the game was played when I first tried it as a kid.

I did however play its supposed sequel which was Dragon View, I believe. It was amazing but the emulator glitched on me. It's definitely a game I'd buy if it was ever re-released.

Reading this thread makes me want to give Drakkhen another try.

I remember playing Dragon View after I got through Drakkhen. IIRC I was just disappointed by it.

I mean, don't get me wrong, Dragon View's not necessarily a bad game, but it just lacked all of the charm, the atmosphere, the feel of Drakkhen. It just felt like a generic JRPG that happened to have an overworld mode that mimicked Drakkhen.

I don't understand why this game gets the hate that it does. Sure I had to have my mom call the Nintendo Power hotline twice for me to beat it, but I've played much worse games.
