Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you’d expect from the Dragon Quest series. It made fantastic use of the DS’s dual screens. It’s also written for a younger audience, so a lot of it is just really silly and fun! Try it out for sure, I’m so sad there’s no sequel :(

      This used to be my favorite game, and I still want more of it but boy did the story never make sense and the gameplay turned out a bit too easy to cheese. The art for it was so good for a 2d game though.

      Great fuckin game, I just wish it wasnt as buggy as it was. But yeah, there was nothing quite so satisfying as spinning a double blade sword and parrying blows or the incredible crunch of whipping around a flail and smashing an enemy to bits
