5 SNES RPGs to play in 2023

sportskeeda.com:

2023 is here, and that means it’s time to look back at some classic SNES RPGs! Some of these games will be easier to find than others, but as I look back at some of my favorite role-playing games, I want to highlight a few of them that might be a little underappreciated. The only requirement to be on this list was that it was an RPG on the Super Nintendo.

One game on this list did not officially arrive in America, but it has a fan translation that can be found on the internet. It takes very little effort to find it, and unless you can read Japanese, that’s the best way to play it. I wanted to avoid some obvious classics that I’ve covered in the past. EarthBound, Chrono Trigger, and Final Fantasy 2 and 3, among others.

These SNES RPGs will please a wide variety of gamers and if you’re looking for a game you haven’t played before, or simply stumped on a classic game, here are some picks that will fit the bill.

Originally, Secret of Mana was on this list, but the more I thought about it, the more Secret of Evermore deserved the spot. Few games are more fun - or frustrating - than 3-player Secret of Mana, but this tale of a boy and his dog is a game that deserves to be played by more people. Made in America, based on Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore is one of the best SNES RPGs of all time, for my money.

It had a unique, fun alchemy system instead of casting spells, and fans of the Secret of Mana combat will be right at home. A real-time battle system, you also had a cool dog that transforms depending on your era.

There’s something just delightful about the toaster dog firing a huge laser. The game is also cleverly written, and the constant reference to B movies really made me chuckle.

Secret of Evermore is a game with heart,
