[Video Game] Suggest some Toku Style Games for me

[Darida_Ryatta]

So I've been on a search for some good tokusatsu games. I'm not after games based on TV shows and movies though by all means tell me if there are any that must be tried.

Generally I'm thinking along the lines of games like Viewtiful Joe or games that feel toku like such as Legend of Dragoon... It gives me a very Knights of Tir Na Nog vibe

Anyway what games do you enjoy, tell me why there worth trying, and justify it as a toku in your opinion it its not obvious through story of game play.

Let's see if this thread draws a bit more activity over here, where it probably should've been in the first place.

Thank you Draewon! That is an awesome list! that'll keep me going for a while! Saint Seiya will probably the first one i check out. I have no idea if many others consider Legend of Dragoon a toku but I would say it presents a very strong argument.. especially in the latter half of the game when it goes more Sci-fi.. though the transformation are the obvious point

no problem, glad i could help

oh and if you really like RPG with transforming characters, Wild Arms 2 could also be a pick, the main character at some point will gain the ability to transform into a demonic metal hero thing(with henshin poses), complete with lightsabers(and will have a golden armored version later on)

that's so ironic... I was actually given a copy of wild arms 2 at work yesterday! It was ment to be

"Z.H.P. - Unlosing Ranger VS. Darkdeath Evilman" for PSP. It's pretty much one huge Toku/Superhero parody game by Nippon Ichi, the makers of Disgaea. It's also a roguelike, though by far not as punishing to the player as this genre usually gets. It has a HUGE focus on customization; any and all equipment you get will be visible on your costume. This can lead to you looking really ridiculous really fast (in my current, first playthrough, my hero is wearing candles on the sides of his head afixed by a headband, has tank-treads for legs, a bunny tail and a lance easily as long as himself). :B

Lunar Knights for the DS. One hero has some seriously Kamen Rider themed goggles and they call upon a giant robot to throwdown.
