This game is a real gem, which few people know about. I've finished it many times and never get tired of it. It's really a shame that few people know about it.. If it were revived today I'm sure that a lot of people would love it... Now the only way to play it is via an old console.. Really a shame, it's really worth it
This game did turn based strategy like no one else. Real time battles with infantry on the ground and as crew for your mech, each with different skills to use, and different stats depending on where you deploy them. Nothing like it has ever been released, and the gameplay holds up very well today. This was a defining title of my childhood that I continue to enjoy, but would be an instant buy if updated for modern machines.
I got this game along side Jak 3 when my parents bought me a PS2 for Hanukkah. I used to play this game a lot until I got stuck on one of the levels, and then I traded it with one of my friends in grade school for Tekken 4, and to this day I still regret this decision. I had such great memories playing this game and it’s a real shame this game is almost being forgotten and I have my doubts Konami is ever gonna do anything with the franchise, so please bring it back, it for games like this that wishlist was made for.
A legitimate forgotten gem. The game play mix between turn based and real time tactics is truly unique. I have waited and search for any game with similar mechanics, but have found none that can truly compare to how this game plays. This game needs to be playable in some form for old and new players to enjoy.
I still own this on PS2, wish they would either remake it or make a new series with a similar mechanics to it. Always felt great rescuing civilians and having them join as a new unit to snipe or launch airburst grenades at my enemies while I pilot a walking/spider tank during the awesome action parts mixed in with my strategy game.
This game taught my ADHD ass to be patient and get that percentage up to 80% for a hit. Game taught me a lot when I was younger with strategies and got me into alternative historical events. I wish I could find an easier way to play besides emulation now...
Vote it up!
Ring of Red is the most unique tactical RPG ever made and we will never see a game like it again. I used to reserve this game at the video store so I could rent it on the weekends and at the time it was right up there with Ogre Battle 64.
The setting is post WW2 Japan, but Soviet Russia also takes over the country along with the US and Cold War tensions escalate. Also someone decided to invent the AFW; Armoured Fighting Walker. Basically a tank on legs powered by diesel! There are different classes of AFW and they are supported by infantry squads on the battlefield, each with their own abilities and skills. Alongside the pilot, AFWs can also be crewed by infantry for even more options. Gameplay consists of a world map on which you move your units and engage with the enemy. When a fight happens you switch to a combat screen where you control the range of your mech and the position of your infantry. When you have loaded your guns an aiming reticle appears and the longer you focus your aim the higher your chance to hit, just don't take too long or the foe may fire first, disrupting your shot! A very unique battle system that you just have to try to fully appreciate. You can unlock special units and items and the combinations of infantry and mechs is pretty deep. The story had my attention at 15 but looking back I can see how some criticised it as sparse, though I did play an emulated version recently and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I think this game deserves preservation as one of Konami's hidden gems - I would even go so far as to say it's worthy of a remake! I would buy this game in a heartbeat if it came on GOG.
One of the most unique visually and game play wise mech games ever made. The inclusion of having troops fight side by side with yoru characters mechs is so cool and the story was acutally very unique and interesting as well.
As huge fan of Mechs and WWII games this was an amazing combo when I was young. It deserves love and most of all a remake!
P.T.P.T. (Playable Teaser) is a first-person interactive teaser directed by Hideo Kojima and developed by Kojima Productions under the alias of "7780s Studios". It is a psychological survival horror that combined simplicity with an anxiety-inducing environment. The player must investigate the gruesome backstory surrounding the house, and solve puzzles to get to the end game where a cut scene will initiate, and reveal the official teaser trailer for Silent Hills. P.T is widely accepted as a game in its own right, as not only is it considered deeply engaging, but also enjoys significant replay value thanks to its cryptic nature. Due to the cancellation on Silent Hills, it is no longer available for download.Horror Stealth Survival
JourneyIn Journey the player controls a robed figure in a vast desert, traveling towards a mountain in the distance. Other players on the same journey can be discovered, and two players can meet and assist each other, but they cannot communicate via speech or text and cannot see each other's names. The only form of communication between the two is a musical chime. This chime also transforms dull, stiff pieces of cloth found throughout the levels into vibrant red, affecting the game world and allowing the player to progress through the levels. The robed figure wears a trailing scarf, which when charged by approaching floating pieces of cloth, briefly allows the player to float through the air.
The developers sought to evoke in the player a sense of smallness and wonder, and to forge an emotional connection between them and the anonymous players they meet along the way. The music, composed by Austin Wintory, dynamically responds to the player's actions, building a single theme to represent the game's emotional arc throughout the story. Reviewers of the game praised the visual and auditory art as well as the sense of companionship created by playing with a stranger, calling it a moving and emotional experience. Journey won several "game of the year" awards and received several other awards and nominations, including a Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media nomination for the 2013 Grammy Awards.Fantasy Kids
