Videogames Heaven: Interesting Games You May Don't Know

SweetShark · Sep 28, 2015

I decided to create this Thread to post if I can daily, at least one Videogame which is not very well known to most of us [not necessary very unknown either]. Most of them will be indie games as you guested.
I will put them each time with a specific format I have to be more official.
If you have other suggestions to tell me to list here, please let me know.
Cheers!!!

UnderHero

Underhero is a 2D side-scroller RPG adventure with timing-based combat. It's a mysterious yet funny story, full of silly characters and quirky dialogue. A love letter to Paper Mario games and RPGs in general, it tells the story of a world where the chosen one is gone, and a minion takes his place as the new "hero".

You can filter them through http://tinypic.com/ to readjust their size.
To line an image on one side you just bracket it as LEFT, RIGHT or CENTER.
To line them horizontally, they have to be the same size and bracket them, in order, as LEFT, RIGHT and CENTER.

Quote me to look at the formula.

You could directly set it on the image, as well - here is the same image shown in the OP but limited to only 200 px horizontal size (if you specify only height or width, the aspect ratio is preserved)

these are using the following markup:

Code:

[[color=black]left[/color]][[color=black]img width=200px[/color]][color=black]https://[/color]c1.iggcdn.com/indiegogo-media-prod-cld/image/upload/c_limit,w_620/v1443211239/glg0zpwyhrfm8syifz8n.png[[color=black]/img[/color]][[color=black]/left[/color]]

Little King's Story: Wildly insane, yet filled with subtle themes and a story that fits together quite well. Very fun and exciting, with a variety of gameplay.
Gateway 1 and 2, Spellcasting 101 and 301, Superhero League of Hoboken: Legend's classic contributions to the adventure genre. Adventure games these days are mostly associated with Sierra, Lucasarts and Infocom, but these were great, hilarious games.
Necrovision: Critically hated, but a really fun game with a variety of weapons and settings.
Firepower 2000: Super Nintendo game that slipped through the cracks over time, a fun game where you can choose to fight from either the land or the sky.
Super Mario Brothers X: A full Mario game made by amateurs but feels like a professional work. Lots of levels, variety and references to other Nintendo games. Go left at one of the checkpoints in the Metroid stage for the best boss fight in the game. This is not the same as the ROM hack with a similar game as it is a full game not associated with a ROM.
Bucky O'Hare: The forgotten NES Konami game, and the perfect example of why I miss the company, as it may or may not have quit making games. Challenging and very fun platformer with plenty of characters and stages.
Twinbee and Parodius: Extremely strange parodies of scrolling shooters with unique styles and very fun gameplay. Twinbee 2 was ported as Stinger, but unfortunately most of the games were exclusive to Japan.
Bubble Bobble and Puzzle Bobble: Strange and fun series of platform games that were turned into puzzle games, yet never lost their excitement or fast pace.
Return to Zork: An updated version of the text adventures with F.M.V. and a graphical interfaces, yet it still has the same humor, complex puzzles, merciless difficulty and dead ends everywhere, and great characters.
Anachronox: Fun C.R.P.G. with a level of imagination and characterization closer to a Japanese game. Has a lot of humor, a different combat system and great characters. It has an abrupt ending that resolves nothing, but Square-Enix is shopping for developers for a sequel, so that may be changed.
Half-Minute Hero 1 and 2: Strange parody R.P.G.s with a small but clever change that makes them unique: You only have half a minute to complete each quest. You can buy more time, but prices rise quickly and you also have to pay for items and equipment, so time is very short.
Citizen of Earth: Another game that was forgotten due to poor and very unfair reviews. A hilarious tribute to the classic Mother series--not sure if that still qualifies as an obscure one after the Mother 3 debacle--with many jokes, great characters, colorful settings, strange enemies and a sense of fun and joy. Very buggy with a lot of design flaws, but so great that you will barely notice.
Randal's Monday: Another game buried under poor reviews, but a great adventure game with humor, characters and puzzles reminiscent of classic Lucasarts games.
Popful Mail: Most of the Sega CD's games were shitty F.M.V. games and ports of games available on the far superior Genesis, but this one was the diamond in the rough: A colorful action-R.P.G. with plenty of humor, challenge, amusing references and weird enemies. Almost worth getting a Sega CD if you do not want to emulate, despite the paucity of good games on the system.

Where They Cremate the Roadkill

Where They Cremate the Roadkill is treelike open world that branches gradually as the player progresses. Every decision carries with it a karmic pattern. A decision made in the early game shapes the later game in a butterfly effect. Overtime, the game spans three characters helplessly threaded together by a common crisis. Each segment is illustrated in a style exclusive to a character's perspective. A choice made in the world of one character may echo back and influence the world of another character.

Firepower 2000

is a top-down shoot 'em up released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1992. A secret "underground race" on an island in the mid-Atlantic ocean has stolen top military vehicles and equipment from around the world and have rebuilt powerful war machines from them. They are even piloted by robots with one mission: to destroy. Military and intelligence officials of major countries have detected them, but they are afraid that they will be unable to prepare against an assault by this underground race. Their plan is to send you in to infiltrate their base and destroy them before they have a chance to unleash the war upon the rest of the world.

Kind of hidden on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.camexgame.heroes

Base the previous games made by the same developers, I guess it will be a mix of JRPG and Adventure.
I will include later the other games he made.

I believe Chroma Squad is enough well-known to not be yet in the list. If many review sites and reviewers in general had a big interest in the past for a specific game, it don't need to be here yet.

OneShot

Oneshot is an RPG Maker 2003 Puzzle/Adventure game where you, as the player, must guide a lost child through a strange world, utilizing items, characters, and the environment to progress.

About the game OneShot I suggest strongly to avoid spoilers and play the game for yourself. It is very unique for a small game like this.
Also it is for free!!!
