Can we have a thread about the best console roguelike of all time?
If you've only played the PS2/Wii version, you are still welcome for discussion since the story and gameplay are near identical.
Myself, I finished the PS2 game a while back, but I recently just started on the PS1 version (playing it on my vita alongside LSD: Dream Emulator -- great combination by the way), and boy is it incredible. The music and sound design are just so much better, and it's legitimately scary at times. The breathing of your character when you get down to 30HP sounds like somebody's sawing your character in half.
It's a proper survival horror roguelike, and it has the most in-depth gameplay of any console roguelike I've ever played to back it up.
And lastly, has anyone actually played Baroque Syndrome? Is there anything actually worthwhile about it, or should I try and find the manga instead? I'm really curious about this one.
I really wish Sting could return to making odd genre exercises like this or innovative stuff like Knights in the Nightmare. The Wii remake doesn't quite cut it for me, but OG Baroque is great.
