Carpe Fulgur > General Discussion
Any good anime games on steam asides from the ones carpe fulgar published?
LilithTome:
Ah yes, not much. The tendency for such games outside of the Doujin community to not come on the PC, much less Steam, has kept me with heavy console leanings.
And if more games like Recettear and such were on Steam, for instance, if there were hundreds, instead of a small handful, I would let go of my wallet a lot easier. Oh PC gaming, when will you turn into the rainbow fairyland I need you to be?
Unsurprisingly, a lot of the games recommended here are Western. What's surprising, is how many are anime styled.
I don't know how good Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes is. But it's definitely in the anime aesthetic.
Also, not anime related, but Japanese games on Steam related(similar enough), but PixelJunk Eden just released on Steam. Rather good development, if you ask me.

Well. As the thread drifted into an Indie recommendation thread.
Besides those already mentioned .
-Cthulhu saves the World - very cheap and plays like one of these japanese SNES RPG's (and looks like one)
-Aquaria - Metroidvania game underwater, some people compare it to Eco, but Inever played Eco.
-Amnesia The dark Descent - very good horror game

Well. Before Recettear -> We had none (okay Suguri was on GG)
Last year : Chantelise, Gundemonim Recollection, Gundeadligne, Hitogata Happa, Satazius -> 5 games
This year : Fortune Summoners, 5 games from Nyu Media, Probably Bunny Must Die, and probably another Carp fulgur game.
Imo, currently is a very good time if you are interestered in japanese games for the PC.

Rusty Hearts.
Cell shaded character models + anime art for shots in dialogue.
Well, it's korean MMO anyway.

I've been playing this, and it's surprisingly enjoyable. (L26+ Natasha, and I started a new Meilin for a reserve.) The best way I've found to describe it is "Devil May Cry meets Torchlight".
Production values are... not exactly fully polished, and the localization is fairly bare-bones. (It's entirely possible to encounter items where the Korean descriptions haven't been translated, for instance.) But for sheer "let's carve through hordes of monsters with improbably flashy attacks", I haven't found anything more satisfying than an hour of dungeon-crawling in this game.

That it is. Can't disagree with that at all. It's also looking like there is a lot to look forward to for the rest of this year.
Adding more to the topic. Since someone brought up Terraria, it's not super anime aesthetic, and it's sure no Fortune Summoners in terms of looks, but it does have a rather SNES 16-Bit look. Being that the characters you create often look like something out of classic Final Fantasy game, it's not too dissimilar to an "anime game". I suppose.
I don't know if anthropomorphic characters count, but SEGA has done a great job of adding nearly every one of their games to Steam. Very little of their library isn't on Steam. They are still missing, say, Sonic Riders, Sonic Heroes, and Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg. But they also just added Sonic the Hedgehog 4 - Episode 1- and Sonic CD. So you never know, they might dump their entire game library to Steam someday. On the note of anthropomorphics and whether they count, there's Rocket Knight from Konami. If you enjoyed Sparkster as a kid, this might be a welcome edition. Though it seems to have taken a bit of a sad nosedive in terms of the anime aesthetic department.
Also, along with Might and Magic, other Western titles on Steam have a sort of anime aesthetic, such as Legend of Fae, Bastion, Tobe's Verticle Adventure, and Jamestown(another STG, no less). I'm not sure how high of quality all of these are. But I've heard good things about several of them.
Also, it hasn't been a super well received title. But Square's The Last Remnant has Square's usual modern mixture between realistic CG and anime faces.
