PS2 Retro: Dark Cloud.

Can anyone remember playing this on the PS2?

I enjoyed the game as a kid and just had the chance to replay it, it's good fun.

It's mainly a dungeon crawler but the whole idea is to retrieve parts for your village that has been cast away in the dungeons but you're allowed to arrange your village any way you deem fit.

I'm at the 1st boss... Can't beat him just now.

It has some hardcore elements such as Thirst(if you're thirsty your HP depletes by 1 every ~2), Weapon HP and Weapon Customisation.

Perhaps it was rather unheard of but hey ho.

What did you think?

well i thought that would be obvious, if i bought the second 1 that must have meant i liked the 1st 1? they were something like zelda majora mask, but with a good crafting system and town building.

Your in-depth analysis astounds me. Good read.
