Bounty Hounds

Bounty Hounds for the PSP delivers fast-paced hack-and-slash action with RPG elements. Players control Maximilian, leader of an intergalactic mercenary squad, battling aliens with over 500 weapons and customizable gear. While praised for its futuristic setting and flashy combat, repetitive missions and a shallow story held it back. Still, it remains a fun pick for sci-fi action fans seeking a high-octane adventure.

Lord of Arcana

Lord of Arcana on the PSP immerses players in a dark fantasy world filled with brutal combat, monstrous foes, and magic-infused battles. Players step into the role of a Slayer, battling through hordes of enemies to claim the legendary Arcana stone. The gameplay is reminiscent of the Monster Hunter series, with cinematic finishers, summoning magic, and challenging boss fights.

Released in 2010 by Square Enix, Lord of Arcana offers cooperative multiplayer for up to four players, adding a social element to the monster-slaying mayhem. While its striking visuals and intense combat drew attention, the game faced criticism for its repetitive missions and underdeveloped storyline. Despite its flaws, it remains a noteworthy experience for fans of dark fantasy and action RPGs.

If you’re seeking a gritty, magic-fueled alternative to Monster Hunter, Lord of Arcana delivers challenging encounters and a unique, atmospheric world to explore.

Phantasy Star Portable 2

Phantasy Star Portable 2 for the PSP delivers an exhilarating mix of action-packed combat, extensive character customization, and engaging multiplayer gameplay. Set three years after the events of the first game, players join the mercenary group Little Wing to tackle dangerous missions across the space colony of Clad 6. The game shines with its fast-paced battle system, a wide array of weapons, and the ability to team up with players globally via online multiplayer. While the storyline may be predictable at times, the vast content and dynamic gameplay make Phantasy Star Portable 2 an unforgettable adventure for RPG fans on the go.
