Action rpgs for the dreamcast?

Post by costrou »

I recently decided to buy a dreamcast and start collecting some fun games for it. I really love action rpg type games like landstalker and legend of oasis, alundra for example. Can anyone recommend some like games for the dreamcast? Cheers

Timestalkers is a sequel to Landstalker though it was not great. There are a lot of action RPGs. Record of Lodoss War is a good one.I like Grandia 2 and Evolution even though they are not action RPGs. PSO plays like an action RPG, but it is considered to be an early form of MMO. I'm sure everyone else will recommend some of their favorites.

Record of Lodoss War: story driven Diabolo clone, but better than Diabolo. It's a HUGE game and hard as fuck too, be prepared to die a LOT...

Yes you can burn a boot disc. I use codebreaker, you can find it on the web for free. Burning Dreamcast games and other software can be a bit tricky though. the easiest method is to find .CDI images and to use discjuggler.
