A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Recommend Me Some Short Games Played on PS2, PSX, NDS, or PSP

I'll be playing on my phone so the controls are a bit hard so action games are out of the question.

I was thinking along the lines of Turn-Based RPGs like Persona 4 but these are too long to play, I just want something short.

Here's a short list of Games I've liked so far:

  1. Suikoden Series
  2. Final Fantasy VII, Crisis Core, and Tactics
  3. Persona 3 and 4
  4. Bully

Upon reflection, maybe something similar to JRPGs but without the grind.

Not exactly a turn-based RPG, but I used to enjoy Dungeon Siege: Throne of Agony on the PSP back in the day. It's probably pretty dated by today's standards, but I remember playing through the game a bunch of times.

There are three distinct character classes that branch off into specialisations as you level up. There's usually a "good" and an "evil" upgrade path involved there.

Combat is similar to something like Diablo - or, well, the even older Dungeon Siege games - and is played from an isometric point of view.
