Simply ONE OF BEST GAME EVER MADE ON CONSOLE. Hundreds of soldier of 2 opposing forces. Generals with special powers. Conquer and raise castles and domination. Gestional kingdom. Stunning story and anime illustration and FMV.
I've played so many games. Almost everything from the Pong Console to present day. Dragon Force is one of those games that I keep thinking about, along with Snatcher for Sega CD but that will be for another vote. I own this for my Saturn but would love a PC port, and willing to pay for it again. For many who never played this game, it is easily one of the best Saturn releases. Dragon Force for the Sega Saturn stands out as a special title due to its ambitious blend of strategy, role-playing, and real-time tactical combat, a combination that was rare for its time. Released in 1996 by Working Designs, the game offered an expansive world with eight distinct kingdoms, each led by a unique monarch with their own motivations and storylines, giving players an unprecedented level of choice and replayability. Its innovative battle system, featuring massive clashes with up to 100 units per side, brought a thrilling sense of scale and chaos that set it apart from typical RPGs. Coupled with vibrant 2D sprite art and a sweeping soundtrack, Dragon Force delivered a rich, immersive experience that earned it a cult following. For Saturn owners, it was a showcase of the console's potential, pushing technical and creative boundaries in an era dominated by simpler narratives and gameplay mechanics. Do your thing GOG. Make this happen please!

Still have the old Saturn game with manual, They used to make beautiful manuals back then. This game is fairly unique and detailed. The characters are interesting, well drawn and each faction you play as has a different storyline. Really miss playing this one.

This is probably my favorite game ever made. I used to play this after school in Jr high and always ended up spending too much time with it. It was too easy to play for what felt like an hour but was often more like 3-4 hours. Its amazing that so few games even inspired by this one have released over the years. I'm surprised Sega hasn't done more with re-releasing it. If the opportunity ever comes up, GOG should work with them on bringing this game to PC.

The anime storyline set in a grand fantasy and the armies you could make with your defeated opponents made this one an awesome game. An updated version for PC would be awesome.

Such an under rated game. Amazing for its time and would be very welcomed if you could bring it to pc. After beating the game once you can play two other factions. I overplayed this in my childhood, stayed up late playing this. Awesome music, good story, lots of easter eggs and hidden characters you can find. You can even command dragons! Although that is later in the game or certain generals have them. Again such an under rated game.

I loved playing this game in my parent's basement as teenager. Beating the game on all characters, seeing all the endings. Rudger is my favorite character. What a fun game.
This game is when I discover that video games was more than a entertainment. I discover you can really get attached to character. This game only made me not looking having a Saturn at the time where everyone get the PlayStation. So much memories of talking about this game in school yard with my friends. It would be great to have it on GOG

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
