Global Domination was (for a while) an obsession of mine. I quite liked the setting as a teenager (managing global conflicts to avoid greater escalations on my Playstation was certainly novel to me), and the difficulty made me stubborn (I HAD to beat the game). I have vague yet distinctly strong memories of me patiently juggling attack and defense to exhaust the enemies and ultimately saving the day.
This one is a weird game, and honestly it's not THAT great. It's, however, a pretty unique mix. The story is driven by FMV of surprisingly decent quality (especially for the time), the high APM + tactical "Missile Commander" gameplay style on a global scale is frustrating, but can also be addictive if you get into it, and the arcane extra layer of managing your bases contributed to my fascination with the game. Almost nobody played it back in the day (I don't think there is a full playthrough of it anywhere online, for example), and I think that's a shame, since it's kind of worthwhile, if not as a hidden gem, at least as a curiosity.
Phantom Brave: The Hermuda TrianglePhantom Brave is a strategy RPG which takes place in the world of Ivoire. Ivoire consists of vast seas and numerous islands; it used to be a peaceful place, but an ancient (and powerful) force is now threatening life in the various lands. The character you control in the game is Marona, a 13 year old orphaned girl. Marona has the ability to communicate with phantoms, an ability that brings a lot of resentment from other people but will help her to head out into the world and solve the problems that are occurring. A phantom known as Ash acts as Marona's guardian; as the game progresses, other phantoms will join your party, each of which have different capabilities.
The game features a turn based combat system. During battles, Marona is able to attack enemies by herself, and she can also summon phantoms in her party to help out. To summon phantoms, you will need to confine them to an object on the screen (such as a rock or tree). Once confined to an object, you will then be able to control the phantom in battle, though phantoms only remain controllable for a limited number of turns. The object you confine a phantom to will affect it's abilities; for example, a rock may make a phantom stronger but move slower. By defeating enemies in battle you earn experience points allowing to level up and become more powerful.Fantasy
Persona 3Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 is a role-playing video game developed by Atlus. In the game, the player takes the role of a male high-school student who joins the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad (SEES), a group of students investigating the Dark Hour, a time period between one day and the next that few people are aware of. During the Dark Hour, the player enters Tartarus, a large tower containing Shadows, creatures that feed on the minds of humans. To fight the Shadows, each member of SEES is able to summon a Persona, a manifestation of a person's inner self. In addition to the standard elements of role-playing games, Persona 3 includes elements of simulation games, as the game's protagonist progresses day by day through a school year, making friends and forming relationships that improve the strength of his Personas in battle.Action Fantasy Science fiction Drama
