I feel like grinding levels. Looking for something NOT turn based, kind of hack and slash-y. For instance, I just tried out Valkyrie Profile 2, and found the combat kind of clunky with the whole party being controlled at once and limited by AP and weapon attack caps.
Im struggling to find more ways to describe what im looking for, so drop what you think fits and ill look it up and check some gameplay!
Phantasy Star online? You can play it online on private servers these days. Or you can emulate an old version (Dreamcast, GameCube or Xbox versions) and just play it solo.
It’s pretty grindy though when you play alone. But it certainly has an old school hack n slash to it.
