Steambots is the kind of game you might find at a dollar store, yet it has the power to change how you view RPGs. It’s a small game, but one that feels lived-in—filled with relatable nuances from everyday life. Your goal isn’t to be a hero; it’s to experience life as you see fit. No two playthroughs will ever be the same.
I know that in another universe, this game is well-loved and celebrated.
Steambot Chronicles, for its time, was an incredible RPG. It had your comfy aspects like furnishing apartments, doing labor with your mech to make money, and playing music from many musical instruments. You could be good or evil in the story. The characters are very likeable. Nadia Gifford did the singing for the songs and has a very beautiful voice. It's a game I'd love to see preserved but it's absolutely a lesser-known RPG from the PS2 era. I was sad when the sequel ended up getting cancelled.
i played this game off a demodisk from the playstation mag. I just had to have it and when I finally got it from gamestop it really opened my eyes to games being more then just about the gameplay it opened my eyes to care about the story.
A quaint little steampunk mecha adventure game that sadly never ran well on its original system, the PS2. I've never seen quite this mix of music, visuals, and gameplay. There's just nothing quite like it, and it's sad that it's been long forgotten by Atlus in favor of piles of Persona remasters.
Sei que e bem possivel dele não vir a esta luz porem e um jogo sublime para mim mesmo que eu nunca tenha terminado por alguma força do destino eu gostaria de telo em algum lugar seguro e velo brilhar de alguma forma espero muito um dia velo nas lojas novamente
A friend of mine absolutely loved this game after I loaned my copy to them. I feel that seeing it preserved on GOG, will in some small way also preserve their memory.
I don't think there's a game I'd like to see preserved more than this, as others have said here, it's not a huge game, but it more than makes up for that in sheer charm. In essence it's an RPG set in a late industrial era where the development of the automobile was superseded by the development of Trotmobiles (the titular steambot), large mechanized walkers that are used for everything from transport, to combat, to mining, to agricultural labor. It takes this premise and builds a genuinely unique take on an action rpg, whereby you drive around your Trotmobile using Katamari style controls, customize it with a large variety of parts including chassis, arms, and propulsion methods, and basically just kinda live in the world. There is a main story, but it's very easy to find yourself off the beaten track doing odd jobs for various people, vibing with the music minigame or any number of activities.
i got this game when i was in the army from the PX years ago and this game had it all mech building/customizing, arena fighting, dating sim, stock exchange, boss fights, home customizing, be part of a band, dungeon delving, pool, trading goods to buy/sell, and that is just what i can remember. and this is one of the few if only games i tried to find a ps2 emulator to try and run it on my pc after my ps2 died never could get it to run sadly and trying to find a working ps2 is just getting harder and getting more and more cost prohibitive. if gog was to have it for sale instant buy

Lost OdysseyLost Odyssey is set in a world in which a "Magic-Industrial Revolution" is taking place. While magic energy existed in all living creatures beforehand, it suddenly became far more powerful thirty years before the beginning of the game. Because of this, it has affected society greatly, with devices called "Magic Engines" harnessing this power for lighting, automobiles, communication, and robots, among other uses. While previously only a select few could wield magic, many magicians gained the ability. However, such progress has also caused two nations to develop new and more powerful weapons of mass destruction. The kingdom of Gohtza and the Republic of Uhra (which recently converted from a monarchy). Uhra is building Grand Staff, a gigantic magic engine, while the heavily industrialized Gohtza actively pursues magic research of their own. A third nation, the Free Ocean State of Numara, remains isolated and neutral, though it is falling into disarray due to a general attempting to stage a coup d'etat. Uhra, at war with Khent, a nation of beastmen, sends its forces to the Highlands of Wohl for a decisive battle at the start of the game.Trending Open world
Vandal Hearts: Flames of JudgmentA new entry in the Vandal Hearts series, Flames of Judgement follows the story of young orphan Tobias Martin as he bands together with his schoolmates to help defend his homeland against a rival kingdom. The story acts as a prequel to the original Vandal Hearts.
The series' trademark isometric combat returns, now presented in 3-D with 3-D character models. Players attempt to position themselves tactically to gain an advantage over stronger (or more numerous) foes. Combat takes place in turns, with each side moving one character per turn. Each party member can carry two weapons and switch between them without using up a "turn," allowing them to shift quickly from a sword to a long-range bow, for example. Characters gain levels through successful battles, and increase skills with a particular weapon or spell by using that weapon or spell in combat.
Many engagements expand beyond simple combat by introducing some sort of puzzle element, ranging from pushing boulders to protecting characters from attackers. Missions may also radically update their goals as progress is made. In addition to the standard game, there are also multiple endings and multiple "secret maps" unlocked across the regular levels.Fantasy Warfare
