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 In essence it's an RPG set in a late industrial era where the development of the automobile was superseded by the development of Trotmobiles (the titular steambot), large mechanized walkers that are used for everything from transport, to combat, to mining, to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
The Lord of the Rings: The Third AgeThe Lord of the Rings:The Third Age introduces entirely new characters which aren't mentioned in the books or movies. The game does relate to the movies by including scenes from all three movies, with new background speech by Ian McKellen (Gandalf).
There are seven playable characters in the game which have been created specifically for it, as well a small appearances by characters such as Gandalf, Aragorn, Eowyn, Faramir, and Gothmog.
The game covers events in all three movies/books, mostly with references to major events shown through cut scenes, or the scenes from the movies with Ian McKellan's narration.
A classic RPG game, The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age has gameplay elements similar to Final Fantasy, where you have a party of characters, each with a different set of skills and attributes, who gain levels, making them stronger as the game progresses. Battles are turn-based, and let the gamer make different decisions on what they want to do to change the outcome of the battle. The game travels through many areas throughout Tolkien's Middle Earth, including The Pelennor Fields and Moria.Action Fantasy

Abandoning the post-apocalyptic themes of the original series, the story takes place in modern Japan. The player character is an unnamed college student who is attacked by demons along with his girlfriend; they are saved by the timely appearance of a suave demon-hunter named Kyouji. Shortly thereafter, Kyouji is found dead under suspicious circumstances. The protagonist is then trapped inside of a warehouse and murdered by a deranged killer named Sid. Rather than stay dead, the player finds himself in the reanimated body of the slain Kyouji, and escapes from the morgue. With the help of Kyouji's voice, which guides the player from inside his head, the main character joins up with Kyouji's female partner Rei in order to save the life of his girlfriend, who is still in danger.Action Horror Science fiction
