What are some games with the same feel as Mother? Tons of games play like it (DW/DQ, etc) but I can't think of any with the similar feel

Lisa: The Painful RPG feels like an M-rated Mother 2. I highly recommend it.

do you dig Shin Megami Tensei?

>>4966696
Honestly there's nothing exactly like it honestly. Though I suggest maybe looking into the Dragon Quest series, they were a major inspiration for the series.
>>4966738
>Hoshi wo Miru Hito
It's literally known as the worst jrpg ever made. I actually suggest researching it, it is actually amazing how fucking terrible it is.

Though just to give some points though.
>the first town in the game is invisible on the overworld, this is never explained in game
>some of the first enemies are so strong they take zero (0) damage from you
>you can NOT run from battles
>the first weapon you are given makes you WEAKER, and you can unequip it unless you buy another weapon
>every time you die your experience resets, meaning you are back to level 1 again
And this is just the beginning.

i liked chulip on the ps2 (not retro i know) for similar reasons. little kings story is similar and by the same director, and also a much more playable game. both have weird sentimental settings with odd characters and good dialogue. would recommend.

>>4966720
that game is a spiritual sequel to games that are retro, the boku no natsuyasumi series. those games are legitimately great, japan only though.

>>4966764
this game is also very good

Anonymous Fri Aug 10 07:38:18 2018 No.4967507

Tried playing Earthbound recently and didn't enjoy it very much. RPG elements are tedious to me now and the world it was set in seemed like something I would have enjoyed a lot as a kid, but as an adult it didn't really do anything for me. Too bad I guess.

>>4967507
I'll add a bit: the main thing that it felt like to me was going back and watching some old Nickelodeon cartoons that I liked 20 years ago or something. There's a definite charm to it and it has some things that adults can get a chuckle out of, but ultimately if you aren't a kid you're going to get bored after a while because its so shallow.
