Folklore?

 

I'm still debating Folklore. It's not really an RPG. It's more an action-adventure. There is a sort of system of level-up, but it's only for the Folk, which are basically your weapons. If you called Folklore an RPG you wouldn't be far from stuff like God of War, and you'd absolutely have to add Monster Hunter 3. So I'm trying to avoid going there. Steambot Chronicles 2 is being added now.

This is also true of Muramasa: The Demon Blade. At least, if it's like Odin Sphere (which it probably will be, though we have no details). You gain more health over time by eating food, but you don't gain experience from killing enemies.

 

Well, you get those purple crystal things from enemies which power up and level your weapon. But I sort of agree with you. If Muramasa is anything like Odin Sphere, it probably doesn't belong on the list if Folklore doesn't make the cut. Not sure about Steambot Chronicles because I have no idea what that game is about.

EDIT:  Btw, great job with the list.  I think you should have a quick list at the top listing each game without screenshots though, for those who want a quick way of checking titles, instead of having to scroll through a couple pages of screenshots.
