A surprisingly fun ARPG with guns. Absolutely does not work on modern systems though and had no success even with wrappers. Only ever got it to run on a Windows XP PC. And even then, the game can be pretty buggy at times. Would be great if the game could get the GOG treatment.
One of those few ARPGs that are not taking place in a fantasy setting. Instead it is a post-apocalpytic world with guns and some cyberpunk elements. In terms of story and characters it seems like a B-movie, though the different characters will experience the story slightly differently.
Aesthetically speaking the character design and guns are derivative and not exactly convincing and the environments are what you'd expect (industrial, sci-fi-elements, wasteland). But the environments are pleasing enough to look at for what they are and the soundtrack helps create some atmosphere as well.
There are four characters to choose from with a fairly standard skill systems and the best attribute system I have ever seen in an ARPG.
Like with many underappreciated games this may not be a great game, but it is certainly better than it often gets credit for.
WazHackTime moves forward only when you do in the dungeons of WazHack, so you can take your time to solve problems instead of just spamming 'attack' and 'drink healing potion'.
With over 300 unique items to be found, you will invent your own solutions to sticky situations. With over 150 different monsters, many with unusual attacks, you will find plenty of sticky situations!
The procedurally-generated dungeon and vast array of possible items gives immense replay value. Some games you'll find a good weapon early, other times you'll rely on wands or potions or spells.
You don't see it much in the all-action video above, but some of the most fun is had just standing still trying to work out how to get out of a sticky situation. Should you try that unknown potion? Maybe it's Healing? What about that wand? Maybe it's Magic Missile... or maybe it's a Wand of Create Monster, and it'll get even stickier!
You start with your choice from 16 character classes, each with different starting equipment, stats, belief system, and available talents. The game you play also depends very much on what interesting loot you find. Maybe you'll find a great spellbook and put all your efforts into turning your uneducated knight into a master battle mage!Action

Dragon Slayer Gaiden: Nemuri no OukanDragon Slayer Gaiden: Nemuri no Oukan is a spin-off from Dragon Slayer series, developed by Agenda and published by Epoch for the Game Boy platform. The game was only released in Japan.
Gameplay differs somewhat from the original Dragon Slayer in that there are now outdoors areas, as well as npcs that send you on specific quests. Combat is still real-time, but a new attack button brings the game closer to other action-rpgs like Zelda.Action
