Some more clues from my games:

50.  a) Classic anime character on the Gameboy Advance.
b) He's a robot.

49.  a) This game was based on a comic book and originally available only as a digital download.
b) The game released the same year as a movie by the same name.

48.  a)  This indie game gives you a reward for beating a level fast.
b) A Metroidvania and a Roguelike.

47.  a)  The second gold box game.  Not Zelda.
b)  Think Baldur's Gate, but even older and turn-based.

45.  This tower defense game is part of a series, but most games in the series are not tower defense games.

44.  Like Advance Wars, but with commanders on the field.

#50: MegaMan?

#48: Dead Cells?

#47: This is hilarious. The first "hint" is specifically naming the game. The second "hint" adds no information, as all gold box games were D&D games (like Baldur's Gate later) and are all turn-based.

So second must mean Curse of the Azure Bonds.

#45: Pixel Junk Monsters

#44: Yeah, that description is Heroes of Might and Magic and you like the second one, so HoMM II

50. No

48  Correct!

47. Correct!  And yeah, after you give the game away with the first hint, not much to do but dance around it with more "hints" hoping someone will guess the game.

45.  Correct!

44.  Good guess, but no.  I like HoMM II about as much as you like HoMM III, so it's higher up on the list.  (Also, it's just an awesome series.)

Is that the Astro boy game? Omega Factor was it?

Correct!

43- One of the surprise entries from 2022. While an extremely easy game with its strategical gameplay, still it had quite the interesting story and some of its design choices were used in FFXVI.

Honestly this game could have been a FF game, but instead had its own lore. The continent in the game is featured in the title.

The game released on all major platforms in 2022, and features music from composers who worked on Game of Thrones.


41- This is my cheat JRPG, because it is more strategy than JRPG (thus loses spots on my top 50 JRPG list) but you can still level up your army in battle.

In order to level up, you must deal the finishing blow, and the game can be quite difficult, so you can't really make a certain unit stronger and one weaker as all units available will be needed in every battle. But you can team up on enemies, so sharing the last bits of an enemy by surrounding them can be effective.

set in 3 kingdoms China, unlike other games made by the publisher, this game featured a story with a lot more imagination, with the 2 main characters fighting over a woman they probably never met historically.

41.  Dynasty Tactics?
