RPGs with almost unplayable design

[Anonymous No.4663942]

What is the worst retro RPG one might have the misfortune of loading? Whether it be shithead mechanics, uninspired plot and dialogue, or terrible maps, what do you think absolutely does not even deserve a second in your console or PC?

Ninjara Hoi was writed by Akira Sakuma who has done some great stuff before, but not even him can save this game from doing everything wrong that JRPGs from the era (1990) did. First of all is the game play that is a carbon copy from Dragon Quest, including the grinding, but in this game is worst because the enemies are pretty strong and there is not a Slime style creature that you can beat until you are strong to keep going and of course the random battles happen way to often, the music is generic as sin and the graphics are awful for a 1990 game.
The only redeeming factors that the game has is Sakuma writing, the fact that the game is set in a feudal Japan style and some mini games here and there, the game could be great but those flaws are to big.

It had a remake years ago.

Forgot to mention that if you brought the game you couldn't save without having the Family Computer Turbo File, so if you where a Jap kid who saved his money to buy this game you would be fucked.

Not retro but the worst RPG I've ever played is Xenosaga II. It has the single worst battle system I've ever experienced.

I miss the Wikipedia page to that game (it's been long since deleted).

It was mainly google translated into garbled English from Japanese. And then there was some development section about how the creator was some Japanese ultra-nationalist who also orchestrated the Pokemon Green Lavender Town suicides.

Lagoon.

Lagoon is remarkably bad for having a sequel that's actually pretty decent

Suikoden 2 is particularly bad.
-Music is awful
-Full of glitches and bugs
-Translation is unfinished and entire text boxes are left with garbage code instead of text
-Level design is terrible
-Writing that wouldn't even be considered good in a shounen anime series.
I'm sure there are worse out there but out of dozens i've played it's easily the worst. But hey it has nice sprites so lets all give it a 10/10 :^)

Wait, Lagoon had a sequel?

Nope I was thinking of Lufia my bad. Lagoon is actually a port/adaptation from X68k and a super early snes title that's why it's so weird (bad)
