Little Known Games Thread

Post games that you like that are not very well known. They can be flash games, indie or done by professional developers for any platform. As long as it's fun and not very well known.

My List:

Secrets of Grindea (Pre-Alpha, PC) -

"Secrets of Grindea is an old-school RPG with co-op support for up to 4 players. It is a tribute to and sometimes a parody of the old SNES games so many of us grew up with and loved!

'In the world of Grindea everything is determined by one thing–how big your collection of stuff is. You take on the role as a young hero (or heroine) taking his or her first steps to become a famed Collector and help collect the most valuable rares in the entire kingdom. But is everything really as it seems? The hunt for rares soon turns into something bigger, a scenario where family, friendship and possibly the fate of the world rests in your hands.'

The game should be ready for release early 2013 or late 2012 for the PC. Stay tuned!"

Custom Robo (Gamecube, DS) -

"Get ready to enter a world of hypertech weapons, holosseums, and heavy-barrel battles. Custom Robo puts you in the pilot's seat of a state-of-the-art war machine in the not-too-distant future where crime and justice duke it out in virtual battlegrounds. With the game's powerful, innovative customization, you can construct your robot from the ground up using an arsenal of more than 200 parts and weapons, from guns and bombs to robo models and homing pods. Many weapons are freely available on the market, but some--deadly and highly illegal--can only be acquired in secret robo gambling rooms and from the hands of crime syndicates."

Sumotori Dreams (PC)

"A little but very serious (hilarious) ragdoll game in small size. This is the game where beginners can beat hardcore players"

Recettear (PC)

"Recettear is the story of an item shop, the girl who lives in it, and the fairy who turned her life upside down. Recette Lemongrass finds herself in charge of an item shop built into her house, in order to pay back a loan her father took and then skipped out on - and Tear, her newfound fairy "companion", won't take no for an answer! As Recette, you have to decide how you'll get your stock - either through playing the markets in town or going out into the wild with an adventuring friend and thrashing beasts until they give up the goodies - how much to sell things for, what the shop should look like, and how to best go about getting the money Tear needs to pay off the loan. If you can't come up with the money... well, hope you like living in a cardboard box."

One Chance (PC)

"One Chance is an interactive narrative adventure game where you literally only get once chance to save the day, and seems to be developer AwkwardSilenceGames's attempt to live up to his name. You play a scientist who is part of a team who discovers a revolutionary cure for cancer, but the celebration is short lived when you realise the cure is actually a death sentence for the entire planet... a gas-based drug that rampages through all living things. You have six days before life as everyone knows it ends, and it's up to you to figure out how you want to spend them. There is no replay button. If you fail, you fail for good."

Lame. D: (If I wouldn't get lolwarned for it I'd post that quote here.)

But yeah, that Secrets of Grindea game looks fun.

Here's a somewhat fun flash game: http://www.notdoppler.com/spaceiskey.php

Press space to jump, it gets pretty challenging.

I've played Summon Night and it is really fun. :D

Thus why I hate that the only ones that were ever brought to America were 2 of the 4 Swordcraft Story games, and Twin Age for DS. So many good (I imagine) games I'll never get to experience properly. T_T

I used to play the hell out of Custom Robo back in the day. It was way too short though =/

The Amazing Adventures of Slime

A game sort of like Maplestory expect more anime-ish I guess. The only bad thing about it is that you grind in it alot (if you don't really like grinding I don't recommend this game) and that job advance is at level 80.

Will I get warned for this? :o

[USABxGUNSLINGER]

A game called Metal Arms: Glitch In The System. It was a really good game, but it suffered being released amongst big titles during the holiday season.

Guatefac? That is a very well known game, and a very fun one too.

Grand Chase North America

Grand Chase is a 2d, sidescroling, dungeon based, action mmo game.
Since i played the game since when North America version of the game came out(well not directly after the game came out, a few moths after the game got out of the beta phase) i saw the games up rises and down falls. First 2 seasons the game was quite fun to play. It had a big player base and it was fun. Every dungeon had three dificulties. After you left the Bermisiah continent you had to have a big amout of potions to survive since the game was hard. But after the season 2 ended the game became crap.
Back then it took you alot of time to get to lvl 30 or 40. Now you can do that in a single day. The game became ultra easy. Back then getting a new char or a job was a blessing. Now it is super easy. Back in the day you had to enter the second server because the first one was full. Now the main server(Gaikoz) is barely yellow(green low population, yellow medium population, red high population). Expecialy since Game Rage took over the game has been going down hill alot faster. Most of new events are about somethign getting added to the shop, but you can buy that only with Rage Points/Cash(you need real money to get Rage Points).
If you read the comments of a new event you will se how people dislike the new Grand Chase.

Now I(and many other players) can't even sit down and play the game for 5 minutes.
