Hellgate london was ahead of it's time. I missed it dearly. The customization, the classes all feel good to play

Enclave and Blades of Darkness were PEAK combat games waaaay back. Good times

I really hope we get a Champions of Norrath re-release, like we did with Dark Alliance 1&2.

hey bro, good to have a roundup of all the games but would be cool to have a final conclusion with your favourites or sth

I expected a list of game with just a lazy description narrating it before clicking the video. What a I got is a greatly opinionated reviews with bunch of hidden gem. You just gave me a decent collection to check out on steam deck. didn't even notice that it was 5hrs video till I was in 1hr mark.

Awesome. Some 2nd monitor action while I build my son’s Christmas PC.

Just incase i wasn't understanding it correctly, in Champions of Norrath, you get exactly what Diablo has for returning to the HUB that you were asking for. You use your gate scroll (or whatever it's called), and then use it again from the menu to teleport back to where you were in the dungeon. Granted this is 20 years worth of memory I'm depending on but I'm fairly certain that's how it worked. They're very rare drops but you can pick them up in the stores and again, you use it from the pause menu. I'm glad you enjoyed your time with it, it's truly a fantastic game lost to time. The closest we have to a "remake" is the Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 Dark Alliance games that were made in the same engine at roughly the same time.

Real OGs know how back in the late 2000s and early 2010s how Viking Battle For Asgard was the ONLY viking game available if you wanted a viking game.

I actually played Dungeon Lords in my childhood. I got it from a Disk from a gaming magazine. Our old weak ass PC back then couldn't quite handle the scenes in the woods haha, but I still played it and loved it, even played it in Multiplayer once with my brother I think. The atmosphere for some reason just had something that sucked you in.. and I remember that real sense of discovery, probably also due to the no-questmarkers-thing. I think I will get it on steam and replay it sometime this year. Thanks for reminding me of this gem, man!

I recently stumbled onto this channel and subscribed after seeing some of your other vids and I’ve been binging it for the past 3 days. Thank you for a great channel and your hard work. 👍🏾

5 hours of c4g feels like mere minutes ❤

I played Venetica and Drakensang: The Dark Eye. I've heard of about 8 other games, most were completly new to me.

There needs to be more vids like this. Most channels just talk about the standard games we all know.

This was a epic run through, it also showed how many games had tried so many stuff

Finally , this is a great list. Thanks for your hard work. All in one place.

Glad to see Spartan: Total Warrior get some love, it was like the proto-god of war.

I will be watching this 5h video dude, great job!!!

I rediscovered Blades of time cause of that video. I do vaguely remember playing that game at a friends house almost 10 years ago. Added it to my wishlist, gonna get it as soon as it's on sale.

Any game that scores 60 percent or above is always worth a try in my experience because some games lose points due to peoples personal bias or the fact that they are comparing it to something much better. My entire game collection starts at 60 percent and occasionally I will go a little lower if the game is something that I like.

1st Rune game was so strange, unique and out of place game but it was still awesome.

I completely forgot about Blade of Darkness, definitely gonna play that again

I was looking for Summoner 2 on this list but was doubtful it would be listed since every KZfaqr seems to have forgotten about it. IT WAS ON HERE! You have no idea how happy that makes me. It’s in my top 25 of all time list. It would be amazing to see what today’s tech could do with this franchise.

i remember champions of norrath.. i was playing it in local coop back in the days with my friend on the ps2 .. it was so much fun :)

OMG all the time stamp - QUALITY WORK!!!

Summoner (1) is available on steam and it is still absolutely worth a playthrough. Wish they made a remake of that one.

Fantastic that you stitched these vids together. Some I’ve seen and some are new to me. Great games and information on the forgotten titles. I actually have only five of these already between Xbox 360 and PC. Silver fall is an excellent game. I found another version, Silver Fall Earth Awakening that came out in 2019 as well. Almost the same game but runs better, a whole bunch of game fixes and tweaks, like they undated the original or other version.

To answer your question about Sword Coast Legends, given the game was competing with the legacy of Baldur's Gate, Dark Alliance and Neverwinter Nights, it's not surprising it fell to the wayside.

I love long videos like this. Really kills time at work while giving me ideas for what to stream next. Edit: Also I LOVED Game of Thrones. Hidden gem for sure. Has multiple endings and a good twist.

u have the very best niche in all of gaming, thanks for what you do ❤

Playing the majority of these games even though bad at times, during my playthroughs I actually had fun and happy to get a chance to actually experience them in my lifetime. Thanks for this list mate.

great video, managed to get through it.. really soft spot for some of these older janky rpgs btw, 200-oti komentar, samo jako ;)

Thank you for mentioning Drakensang! It was one of my favorite games as a kid and it's kinda sad how forgotten it is

Mate, you have no clue how many of them will go straight on my steam wishlist to be played on the Steam Deck :D

Inquisitor from Cinemax is an obscure and hidden gem of an RPG, you should defo try it out.

Anyone remember Soulbringer? It came packaged with Planescape: Torment. Soulbringer was the first RPG i ever completed, and was so happy to see it on GOG. Going to replay it very soon!

Enclave was really something. I've finished it multiple times, that is... finishing each level with multiple characters, in both Light and Dark campaigns

Highly recommend Shadowflare an episodic ARPG that's no longer sold anywhere but the internet archive should have a copy, the first episode was originally free.

You missed Darkstone (1999) my friend. One of the best RPG game ever

Thanks for putting this all together.

Thank you for the time stamps.

Its a real struggle finding any rpg's with decent or even adequate itemization, loot and character progression. Most of these fall well short in those categories. Surprised that Two Worlds wasn't listed here. Quite an obscure rpg with a very unique and satisfying loot and character building system.

for champions of norrath you can use gate scrolls to go to town and back exactly where you use it and only costs 1 scroll, it has a sequel return to arms, I also suggest baldur's gate dark alliance 1 and 2, I go through all 4 of these games once a year since I have physical copies

I'm sure you already played them, but if not give Binary Domain and Elex a look! Elex II is ok too, but the first one is so much better imho.All three games feature branching narratives too.

"Hard to be a God" is based on book with the same name. It was written by cult Soviet writers Arkadiy and Boris Strugatski. It's very famous book and one of their best work, so no wonder you liked the writing in the game.

4:05:15 thats golden, Btw, if i may recommend some better RPGs made by Dimitry: - Rise of Mages 1-2 : Visually outdated, but some unique mechanics and good artstyle in general - Konung 1-2 ( you may skip 1, i guess, its more like beta version of whats to come) : Party based hack and slash game with village development mechanic - Space Rangers 1-2: Its pretty popular *here* but i think western players might find it interesting. Its a space rpg with *space ship* as your character. Many game modes and literally a living world ( game can even win itself on easier difficulties ) - Etherlords 2 - you may say its a Kings Bounty clone, but with fights mechainc similar to Magic: The Gathering

thank you for the good work giving smaller studios a chance even if the games are garbage. as a german i am a huge gothic fan and discovered your channel for your reviews of said games. keep up the amazing work you do for us RPG lovers

I can explain the line "they rain arrows on us like pissing cows" in the Cursed Crusade. As i suspected, the devs of this game are French. In french we have an expression that goes "raining like a pissing cow" (il pleut comme vache qui pisse). If you ever seen a cow piss you know why the saying. Of course you're not supposed to translate expressions that don't exist in another language word for word...

"i've met the gods. The gods made me. He's no god." This is peak writing over here

Saving this video to watch it at work 😁

Everyone keeps saying how hard it is to make games, yet there are so many of them.

Anyone remember Beyond the Beyond 😂 It was so fun and of course Wild Arms and BoF4

It's amazing how game companies preserved the ps2 cartoon aesthetic all these years.

summoner 2 gets pretty wild at about the half way point

Hard to be a God is based on a 1964 science fiction novel of the same name, written by the Soviet writers Arkady and Boris Strugatsky

Is Nox on the future list? This is my childhood arpg. Love it.

Fun fact: i loved the original Rune game back then on PS2

The Cursed Crusade is back on Steam

Venetica definitely gets a lot better.

Fun fact: Requital is a game based on the movie "Volkodav" ( Wolfhound) which was adaptation of the book series with the same name. Book was pretty good actually ( unlike the movie ) and i really liked it in my childhood. Fun fact number two: there was 2 games based on the movie, and second one is closer to your typical diablo-clone. English voiceacting is terrible indeed, which is funny, because russian voieacting was made by pretty good actors.

One game to check out is Legend Hand of God is an obscure ARPG for '07. It is an "offensively average and by the numbers" Diablo clone.

Btw, love "The *Fist Templar"

In the first 5 games, there was only one that looked horrible and made me absolutely sure I will never play it, and you placed it as #1 :D Ok, continuing watching :P

got enclave and severance after watching this video, both seem awesome

There was a Summoner 2? I remember the first Summoner. I loved that game, it was my first CRPG.

I will gladly watch every second of this!

Champions was great. Being able to transfer your Champions to the second one was sweet and random dungeons kept it fresh, same with weapons. I kept finding stronger weapons after playing for years. If they ported dark alliance they need to do this. Best couch co op on the ps2 for my friend group at the time. Many all nighters with up to six to eight heads passing the sticks.

About Dawn of magic 1-2. It is basically same game. Originally in Russia it was called Blood Magic and "second game" was called Blood Magic: Time of shadows which was expansion with smaller campaign. I personally liked time of shadows more because it was less grindy.

Thank you so much for that video! If you decide to continue the series, you may want to try out older russian rpgs "Evil Islands" and "Golden Land", i remember them to be quite nice! There was also really good hack-and-slash on PSP "Undead knights" with zombie gimmik. PS: what is the music on the background in the last game?

Game of Thrones is amazing and George RR Martin wasn't just a consultant, he did writing work in there and he actually APPEARS in the game. It is a must play and a hidden gem.

Awesome video man

How did it not take 2 years at least to play all these games?

I've played 12 of the games and enjoyed them alot I recommend breakdown, advent rising and timespliter future perfect for xbox or dark cloud and time spliters for playstation also. King Arthur had a game that looked alot like vernetica and if you put the DVD disk in an original xbox it has a demo advent rising is also easily the weakest if the games I recommend and all are back compatible. One that didn't get that treatment was the reddick games loved those on xbox 360

Here it is, fellas: the legendary hidden gems hunter giving us more obscure unknown amazing new RPGs to test.

You forgot that Vikings: Wolves of Midgard existed before you played it, meanwhile I totally forgot I already played and finished it years ago and only realized that when I recently found it in my gog library with the intent to install only to see I already got all (or mostly all) achievements. At least it wasn't so bad I remembered it?!

maybe it will be interesting. "Blades of Time"(2012) is a reboot of another game from the same developer "X-Blades"(2007) aka "Oniblade". but "Blades of Time" received greater success through the transition to a different style

It's a shame that games take so long to make these days that studios would never risk the investment for something as obscure as some of these. This might be a dumb thing to say but I can't imagine a studio making a Jason and the Argonauts or Beowulf game today (or equivalent myths)

I played most of these "obscures" at release, damn I'm getting old (Bionic Commando, Dungeon Siege 3, but I also played dg2 at launch), Beowulf: The Game and Bloodrayne 1(and 2).

i love the fist templar lol

I took a shot every time he said mediocre at best and woke up a week later in a different country surrounded by chickens and cows

# 5 VENETICA: Back in 2009/ 2010 the game really had been hyped by many Video Game magazines like the GAMESTAR and PC GAMES in Germany THE FIRST TEMPLAR, I agree. Had both titles, thsi one and the follow up one. HUNTED: DEMON SPORES - even though a bit tidiously single handed it still was a lot of fun tome. DEMONICON AND 19:29 YES PLEASE !!! do more videos like this. They are fun watching to. OK we can´t agree on everything but in general you are offering a good overview to beloved and interesting bidopgames on PC and on Console, even though I prefer the PC games.

I actually played Drakensang when It first came out and plan replay it every couple of years but I always forget. Need to get to it.

Updating heavenly sword to 1.10 and increasing wakeup delay in RPCS3 solved _all_ my crashing issues. For some reason RPCS3 really hates the 1.0 version and keeps freezing in it. Maybe you'll like it better if you try this. EDIT: you also need to turn anti-aliasing off (I think, check RPCS3 wiki) to prevent it from freezing from suddenly filling up GPU VRAM. Don't raise resolution scale too high either.

My late wife always talked highly of venetica. I might play this if I can find it.

Keep Up the good Work Bro 🎉

There is another forgotten rpg called "Avencast: Rise of the Mage"

I'd very much like to recommend trying Kingdom Under Fire Circle of Doom.

Main reason I kept playing Demonica was the incest plot line. Shit was hilarious

You are a bless for rpg lovers. Very concrete opinions, and at the same time your love for games is felt in every video. Even when they are full trash. Best rpg reviewer 🥂

Of all the games in this video - I still can't believe we got Rune II lol I LOVE the original Rune, still play it today in fact once in awhile. There's even a community for the MP if you want to play that. But I never thought near 20 years later we'd get a sequel. And yeah, it's a fairly messy game to be fair, but Rune II still has that Rune feel (mostly) and the combat is quite good actually as you mention in the video. I just don't think people were interested in the building mechanics and the gathering stuff (though I didn't mind it much to be fair). And the game was just unfinished, and will obviously never be finished sadly.

Wowwwww. 5 HOURS OF C4G YES PLEASE

this vid took me back, i still remember playing 12 of these games. Did not know Ascend came back, that game was a decent time waster

Infernal crusade is underrated too. Part 2 is to way cartoon

At least Venetica seems to be finished, unlike Chronicles of Elyria.

If it’s not on the list, I think you should maybe check our Mark of Kri on the PS2! :D

I have played LOKI a long time ago and it was pretty decent, i liked it. 🙂

I really ended up liking Shadows Awakening and played it through with all three characters, the warrior gets much better down the line..

can you please add which ones of these are LAN supported?

Hey man ! Love the video ! Saw all of it because i am in search of a specific game i was playing when i was old, but i stayed because the video in general was well structured. I am going to post here the same post i wrote at r/tipofmyjoystick in hopes that someone knows it. (it is not Blades of Darkness, but pretty close in terms of presentation) Platform(s): PC Genre: Adventure/Action/3rd Person Estimated year of release: 2000-2007 Graphics/art style: It didn't have very clear textures, you could see some very small polygons. The first stage had a dark sky and a ruined gothic castle. The atmosphere/feel was dark. Notable characters: I was playing as barbarian with one sword in one had. I am not sure, but he wasn't wearing anything at his torso. Notable gameplay mechanics: One of the first things you could do in the first level was go in a underwater canal or you could go to other places in the castle. Also i remember it had red orbs to collect and monsters to kill. Edit: There was a room at some point which had two raised platforms on each side and atop of them where some orbs to collect. I believe there was some kind of trick to get up there. I was very young when i played it so i wasnt all that smart to figure it out. :P Other details: An adventure game i played at my godmother's house. It was a 3rd person game with a guy like a barbarian wielding a sword on one hand. The start of the game is in a gothic style castle and you had to traverse several underwater sections to get through it. I remember it having traps and there were orbs to collect.

I haven't watched the whole video yet, but if you haven't covered Fate yet then you should.
