It's actually a great dungeon crawler game. Would be cool to see this game playable again with multiplayer support. The characters are cool, the dungeons may have different loot to be found on it when doing new runs, even more because of the rare loots. And the game has its share of difficulty, aswell as an satisfying character growth per levels. I only managed to get to play this game on singleplayer, so maybe on multiplayer will be awesome, even more since some characters are made with skills that can be used on other characters, like the healer elf.
Those games also need your vote!

Boktai 3: Sabata's Counterattack
Boktai 3: Sabata's CounterattackThe legend goes that the Warriors were betrayed by their friend and never even fought the Eternal Beast. Django has to climb the Ancient Tree. At the top is Wings of Death, Hresvelgr, the second Immortal, who has captured Trinity and uses him as a bait to lure Django, as well as sucking power away from the tree. While keeping Trinity out of harm's way, Django defeats Hresvelgr, taking the coffin back to the Piledriver and successfully purifies him. However, as Django tries to return to San Miguel, The Count reappears, and challenges Django. Trinity freaks out and runs. Clouds cover the sky, and Dark Matter starts to rain down on Django. Trinity realizes that The Legend of The Warriors of Light is a true story: about Django. He believes that Django dies and the world ends because he "betrayed" Django. Django journeys to Pirate Island, where he learns more about Carmilla, and about what happened. Django defeats Machine King Nidhoggr, the Immortal charged with preventing Django from making it into space, and Piledrives him. Having a usable ship, Django heads back to the place where they fought. The Solar Boy enters a cannon and is fired into space, landing at the Dark Castle. Django finds Carmilla before the last level and after talking, he decides to do all he can to save the world, even if that means losing his brother. Making it to the core, Django fights against Vanargand (and Sabata). After a long, arduous battle, Django defeats the creature. A pseudo bike battle then occurs. As Django makes it out into the sunlight, Otenko or Sabata (on his own bike) is freed from Vanargand. As they reach the end of the road, Django and Otenko or Sabata combine their powers and finish Vanargand.
