The Skyrim of the Super Nintendo
>>
>>12848757
I just started this last night. I just walked to the first town and saved. What am I in for?
>>
>>12848765
you're gonna want to explore the mountain on the far north of the starting zone, there's a cool item inside

This is a bizarre game:

1. Drakkhen is a European developed game.
2. Dragon View didn't release in Europe.
3. A Japanese team handled the SFC port, and then decided to make a sequel to THAT version.
4. They decided to ditch the rpg combat for a belt scrolling style combat.
5. Japanese title is Super Drakkhen

I think it's totally unique. Not necessarily the best game ever, but nothing else like it.

Given how the sequel ended up, Kemco must have been given a lot of creative control. They basically gutted all the obtuse western RPG mechanics and made it their own. The end result feels very much like a Japanese-designed game.
>>
Did they keep the constellations coming to life and attacking you if you looked at them in this one? That's such a unique concept, I'm surprised it hasn't been recycled into some kind of creepypasta thing about never looking at the night sky.

Zoomers when they say they love retro games.

They might have just created a new series under a new brand at that point. I can see it becoming more popular.

That was the first/original.
Drakkhen is peek euro jank crpg. Its got so much weird shit going on in it, and much of it was faithfully done in the SNES version surprisingly enough.

>Jank
Fuck off with this nonesense

never heard of it, can I climb mountains by riding a horse?

Got it last night.
>>12848986
I'm an old head. I was playing something else before booting up DragonVeiw.
>>
>>12849436
I beat the fire boss. Got the fire ring and took it to the Fire Wizard. Tomorrow night I melt the demon ice and go to the temple, I think.
>>
is it open world?
>>

>>12851418
Drakkhen yes. J Action RPG edition? i dunno. i never herd of it until now.

also you can just play the DOS version of Drak in higher res?
>>
>>12851418
it's like zelda 2, there's an overworld you move around in first person that has random enemy encounters, then when you go into locations or do battle in the overworld it switches to a 2d golden axe type of gameplay.
>>
>>12848757
Was really enjoying it but hit a total deadlock on progress. Eventually gave in and looked up the solution of letting myself lose and be eaten by some enemy and hated it so much I quit. I admit I overreacted and do want to go back at some point but eh.
>>
>>12849436
Such a great game. I can't stand the english localization though.
