Recommend Me Some Short Games Played on PS2, PSX, NDS, or PSP
I’ll be playing on my phone so the controls are a bit hard so action games are out of the question.
I was thinking along the lines of Turn-Based RPGs like Persona 4 but these are too long to play, I just want something short.
Here’s a short list of Games I’ve liked so far:
- Suikoden Series
- Final Fantasy VII, Crisis Core, and Tactics
- Persona 3 and 4
- Bully
Upon reflection, maybe something similar to JRPGs but without the grind.
I’ve really enjoyed Danganronpa on PSP - it’s a murder mystery visual novel, so it may not be something you’re interested in, but I enjoyed it even though I’m not really that much of a VN fan.
Hello fellow Tactics fan!
If you’re looking for a much lighter version of it, both in gameplay and story, I’d recommend Battle Hunter (PS1).
And now that I’ve been reminded of it, I’m gonna entertain the idea of porting it over to a tabletop board game, cause that’s how mechanics-lite it is.
Chrono Trigger and Terranigma (emulate the SNES versions on the PSP or PS2)
OMORI (PC game, but it will run on a potato)
All three are some of the best games I have ever played, all for different reasons.
Try the Mario & Luigi RPG series on GBA/NDS.
Also the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series (specifically Explorers of Sky)
Pokemon is a good choice, especially if you use an emulator that allows cheats so you can customize the grind you want to do. There’s also tons of romhack versions if you want a difficult challenge.
Zelda games are good choices, they are action, but don’t generally need that tight of control. The Mario and Luigi series should also be good, Bowers inside story was fun. They are somewhat action like, but combat is mostly turn based.
There’s also Fire Emblem, Bravely default, more final fantasy.
pokemon shouldn’t be too long, I think black/white and black/white 2 have the best story amongst all pokemon game
