Diablo Dungeons What's a good DUNGEON CRAWLER game for the PSP without cutesy characters?
I am looking for something in the D&D/Ultima vein to play on my PSP. I like the turn-based dungeon crawlers the best, but it's not required. The problem is that the ones I have seen have these Saturday morning cartoon characters with giant eyes. And it's just not appealing to me.
I have never played the Final Fantasy games because the ones I have only seen have these cutesy Disney characters running around in the screen shots. And it just spoils the mood for me. Maybe there are FF-type titles for the PSP with something more "dangerous" flavor to the characters you play (and I don't mean the interstitial animations)?
If the FF series is really *that* great, and everyone who answers here recommends them, I guess could get over it. But I'd rather play something that looks cool like Diablo II or Castlevania.
In short, gameplay and addiction factor really is more important to me. But I just don't like the look of the games I have seen.
Would love some suggestions!
The PSP has it's own D&D game. Look that up, since you really like those games. You can also try Untold Legends: The Warrior's Code, Dungeon Explorer, or Dungeon Maker.
Final Fantasy has never really had "Disney-like" characters, the only ones close enough are the mascots. With your way of thinking on the series, I don't think I can recommend you with any titles for that. FF1 and 2 stick with 2D Graphics. Final Fantasy Tactics is obviously a Tactics game, and the story is much darker than most others in it's franchise (political and religious controversy in the game). Crisis Core is a pretty good action-RPG game, though made through milking the FFVII name. If the "Disney" characters alone put you off, you're missing some worthwhile games that you could like.
Yeah I think I answered this one a while earlier. Also noticed the people answering here gave basically the same answers, lol… Baldur's Gate / NWN series. Just goes to show that there really isn't much choice.
The one I love most is more of a dungeon crawler a la SSI's "Eye of the Beholder" games, "Demise: Rise of the Ku'Tan". It's plagued with some game-breaking bugs though. Most RPGs also tend to be single-player experiences.
There haven't been too many which support coop multiplay, especially since you rule out MMOs and action RPGs. Personally I love the kind of game you're looking for too, I'm tired of MMOs. Gonna keep a watch on this question
No, I disagree firmly. I think that games nowadays are generally quite easy, with the exception of online play eg Gears 2, but that's against other people so doesn't really count. I haven't played those games you mention, except FFXIII which, while I find parts of it challenging I don't think it's particularly hard. When I was younger I used to find games were tough even on 'easy' settings, now I have no real problem getting through them on 'hard', examples being RE5, Halo 3, Gears 2… Of course when I say 'when I was younger' I'm talking about 15-20 years ago, and trust me if you ever played games like Dizzy, Shadow of the Beast, King's Quest, Ghosts 'n' Goblins or Xenon then you'd know what it's like to really – and I mean really – lose it with a game.

Baldurs gate 1..and Baldurs Gate 2: Dark Alliance…have co-operative capabilites and are 2 truly outstnading games to play co-op
