Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

Well, if it was technically a *role playing game*, then it would count, no?

I don't play a ton of games and frankly my library is pretty sparse but I do have the following to say.

Most Boring RPG I've played: Glory of Heracles (DS)

This isn't really a terrible game, but it is absolutely as bare bones as you can get with an RPG. There's almost nothing to make it stick out, the game is extremely linear and pretty predictable fare. I do like the battle theme though, its really damn catchy! Nothing of this game is really worth anything to note.

I keep seeing a ton of copies of this game on the shelf at every game store I go to. Always thought that was weird given how I'd never heard a thing about it.

The deal with that one is that there were like five games before it in Japan, stretching all the way back to Famicom. This was the only one to come to America. In Japan I don't think it's necessarily a huge seller but it at least has brand recognition so it didn't really need to do a lot to stand out or attract people. I guess Nintendo didn't feel the need to do anything to make it stand out here either. Another factor is that prior to this game the series had been owned by Data East, but when they went under, Nintendo acquired it, so they might have just been unsure of what to do with it altogether.

Adachi is not amused.

A lot of these games I feel aren't terrible RPGs. Not great, but certainly not terrible, with a few exceptions. So feel glad if these are actually the worst RPGs you've ever played, because you could do a lot worse.

You could be like me and have played Paladin's Quest, for example.

I could do a write up on what I've played of this game that'd be quite legendary, but suffice to say that it's crappily drawn for SNES standards, the sound is awful, the battle system is eh, and the plot is... okay so at the very beginning of the game you're at this academy and some dude calls you out as a pansy and says you can not be a pansy if you go into this tower that they keep in the city. So you go into the tower, which is unguarded and unlocked, proceed one room in, flick a switch there AND IMMEDIATELY RELEASE THE WORLD DESTROYING ENTITY THAT HAS BEEN IMPRISONED THERE WHO PROCEEDS TO BRUTALLY MURDER THE WHOLE TOWN BUT YOU FOR SOME REASON AND NOW YOU HAVE TO GO STOP IT.

That's right. You walked into a building in the middle of town... went in about two rooms... pushed a button and released Cthulhu upon an unsuspecting world. And I have never been able to get over how utterly stupid this is. I mean, seriously. Couldn't you have put a guard out the front to tell punk kids to get bent and go away? Put a password on the switch? Lock the [radio edit]ing door? Come on, guys. I played for maybe an hour after that but it was just baaad. And I've played a bunch of meh to actually bad RPGs but few if any come close to that stupidity. So yeah. Consider yourselves blessed that you haven't played it, and if you have, I know your pain.

It's funny how every port of Hydlide was absolutely horrible, because the original PC-88 version, while certainly not a great RPG, is at least tolerable from what I've seen of it.
