Guess The Game

#9 Is indeed Final Fantasy 7 as #10 is Darkest Dungeon

#1 - Blast your way through apartment blocks putting to death the undead (PC only game where you play as death himself in a suit killing all kinds of Undead Mafia groups)

#4 - Play as the bad guys in a bid to claim the last remaining free province of a continent for your Emperor (PC only game with isometric camera view where you control a party of 4)

#6 - Save the girl with a very unconventional weapon all in a fantasy medieval setting (2D sidescroller with pixel art)

#4 Magicka?

Tyranny?

YouSavedMyLife · 27-04-2017 5:51pm

Yep. Tyranny is number 4 and Shovel Knight is number 6. Rather than let this go on too long, Deadbolt is number 1. Highly recommend it. Tactical style action game with great soundtrack too

I don't see any in play right now so here's one,

A deposed royal has kidnapped a young woman and imprisoned her in his castle. Our lone hero must start in the basement and work his way up to the tower to rescue her but he'd better be quick
Clue, the game is set in the present (relative to the games original release date) and the hero uses only one (modern) weapon throughout the whole game.

SeantheMan · 28-04-2017 12:54am

Final Fantasy 9 ?

Ten of Swords · 28-04-2017 1:29am

No

Clue #2
This was the first in a series of games. A port of this game had a spin off story set in a hotel that was a front for some nefarious activities

That could definitely be the original Prince of Persia

Ten of Swords · 28-04-2017 7:29am

Not PoP.

In case it's not clear I should point out that clue #1 and clue #2 both relate to this game, they're not 2 different games

gizmo · 03-05-2017 2:33am

Think we're gona need another clue, Ten of Swords.

Ten of Swords · 03-05-2017 7:09pm

I'm glad this thread isn't dead, I actually really like it

OK given how much time has passed on this one it's going to be a complete anticlimax when the answer is guessed or revealed so I'll put up one more clue as requested and if nobody gets it I'll put up the answer later on so we can move the thread on.

To recap,

A deposed royal has kidnapped a young woman and imprisoned her in his castle. Our lone hero must start in the basement and work his way up to the tower to rescue her but he'd better be quick

Clue #1
The game is set in the present (per the games original release date) and the hero uses only one (modern) weapon throughout the whole game.

Clue #2
This was the first in a series of games. A port of this game had a spin off story set in a hotel that was a front for some nefarious activities.

Clue #3
The hero is called Richard and the girl is called Rachel

Yep, well done

YouSavedMyLife · 03-05-2017 10:39pm

Damn, Time Crisis with the lightgun was the first game i got on the PSX. A game that beforehand i actually went into Dublin city centre to play every week or so in Dr Quirkey. I played the hell out of it on the PSX and still don't recognize any of the storyline after reading your post :pac::pac::pac:

Listen to the storyline? Nah gotta shoot things

Mal-Adjusted · 03-05-2017 11:59pm

I used to play Time Crisis 3 in the arcade in Galway. last year i tracked down a CRT tv so i could play it on the PS2. great games.

I only had the demo but played it to death and got really good at it. Then my cousin got the full game and I was sh*t at every other level.
