Genres:Adventure, Puzzle
Themes:Action, Fantasy, Horror, Survival
Game modes:Single player
Story:Kuon is a horror game set in Heian period (12th century) in Japan. You control three protagonists in the game. The story revolves around a man named Doman, an exorcist who was summoned by one of the noblemen to investigate a cursed manor. His daughter Utsuki is out to search for him when he doesn't return, and her sister is charmed by demons inhabiting a mysterious castle, turning into a demon herself. A young girl named Sakuya, Doman's disciple, also ventures into the depths of the demonic world, to prove herself worthy of her master. Once the player completes Utsuki's and Sakuya's scenarios, they unlocks the third scenario where they experiences the story from the point of view of Doman himself.
The game is a mixture of third-person action and puzzle-solving. As in all survival horror games, your means of defense are limited and scarce. Unlike most games of the kind, physical attacks with weapons are not your only way to defend yourself against hordes of undead creatures. You can also learn and cast spells in the game, and even summon creatures (wolves, spiders, etc.) to fight at your side.Show more

It's one of the most accessible and stylish old survival horror games out there, which is expected from, well, From Software. The art direction goes hard, and it's a shame it isn't available on modern systems.
As a fan of FromSoftware and their Souls franchise, I never played this game and because I'm a survival horror enthusiast and coming from my favorite gaming studio, this one NEEDS to be accessible for me and the others who never played it.
Kuon is one of a kind not just in From Software's library, but in gaming as a whole for its remarkable use of Japanese folklore and an atmosphere unlike anything else in the survival horror genre. It is one of the most important games in my life, and I worry for its preservation. Owning a physical copy is near impossible thanks to exceedingly high prices, and emulation is a complicated problem for this title in particular, especially on modern displays. Of any title I want to see acknowledged, archived, and playable for years to come, this is the game that would mean the most to me.
580 votes is good but not good enough for this RE copy cat game, the best one you've never played if you're already familiar with Parasite Eve 2, with this game you're set in traditional old japan temples with some magic, but still the survival horror gameplay and fixed camera angles of the first RE, amazing!

Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
