Summon Night: Swordcraft Story 2

I had tons of fun with this mix of rpg and fighting game (my two favorite genres). I've been thinking of playing it again recently, and what better excuse than being isolated on a deserted island?

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (for the GBA). I find myself replaying that game over and over. The endless combinations of recruiting characters and trying out different job combinations is pretty fun.

My one game to take to a deserted island would be Lode Runner.  It has a level editor to create you own levels.  You wouldn't run out of new levels to play.

Rather it was a game for a desert island or the last game I knew I'd ever play: I'd pick Final Fantasy Tactics for the PSX.

It was the first game I played as a teenager where I was actively daydreaming about it while I was supposed to be working at my first(ish?) job.

Like I literally couldn't wait to get home and continue building what I still consider the perfect team. Heck I bought a serial port PS1 memory card

reader just so I could move my saves over back in the mid 00s (which of course required a USB to serial adapter lol).

There's just something about that game and I don't know if it's the art or the gameplay loop or what, but I sure do love it.

No shade to the post about Tactics Advance above me (I like that game as well).

Happy birthday Launchbox! A lot of great suggestions here. If stuck on a deserted desert island for an extended period of time, I'd choose the game "Launchbox" - hours of tinkering and organising, levelling up box art, fixing metadata, curating playlists....paradise!

My game to take to a desert island would be Dead Cells. I think it's the game with the most replay-ability that I've ever seen. Doom or Doom II would take a close second for nostalgic purposes.
