Good HuCard RPGs?

[lukester]

the CD library gets talked about a lot, but are any of the HuCard ones good? Or playable at least.

There's Necromancer, Momotaro series, Benkei Gaiden, Shada, XSerd, Sindibad, and a bunch of other stuff.

Neutopia isn't bad.

Neutopia isn't bad.

I've beat Neutopia already, good game.

Not sure if that counts though.

[Black Tiger]

Necromancer, Momotaro and Benkei Gaiden are all great.

I like what I've played of others (that I can think of), but not enough to recommend them yet.

Neutopia isn't bad.

Same for Military Madness.

Benkei Gaiden, Necormancer, Susan-o those 3 are really great!

Black Tiger, have you played Outlive? It seems interesting, but I'm not sure what the different items are in the shops, and where the passwords are.

It's a very cool game and I enjoy it, but it is a dungeon crawler. So if you don't like clearing floors of mobs till the game is complete, then it's not for you.

[Necromancer]

Shada ain't all bad, especially with the translation patch.   There's also Order of the Griffon, which is quite good but Turbob only.

OotG is such a great game, but I really wish someone could fix the bgm bug.

Yes. Remind me: once you attack, the music stops? Or something like that?

What, precisely, triggers the error (in your estimation)?

That's pretty much it. Someone explained the code once and it sounded like a very simple thing, like changing one line might do the trick or something.

Shiryou Sensen: War of the Dead is a fairly fun and unique RPG on the HuCard that is undermined by arbitrary progression flags (ie, talking to someone on one side of the map to trigger a conversation on the other side) and a laughably bad password system, though this is mitigated by a helpful combo of Ootake and savestates. Though I don't know if the PC88 or MSX versions are better (I assume so in the case of the PC88).

While the game isn't great, and somewhat flawed, there is a horror-movie charm to the proceedings.

Now there's a game (and its PC88 sequel!) that needs a translation patch if ever there was one - particularly from a big horror-movie fan.

First Earthbound, now War of the Dead - what's the next piece of mediocre trash that will be "rediscovered" as a "gem"? Golden Axe III? Super Mario RPG? Marvel Land? Ogre Battle? The possibilities are endless!

Probably some sub-par PC-FX RPG, if I had to guess. A lot of people would probably eat that junk up.

Ogre Battle isn't trash.
