Maybe the quintessential "weird" game these days. Randomly traverse dreams. Can't actually find a real "point" to this one, but it's definitely an experience.

The quintessential goofy RPG/Platformer, although I'd say there's more RPG elements than actual RPG.

Do chores and make your owners love you. Somehow it's actually quite fun.

Not even an RPG really, it's basically a parody and loveletter to the JRPG genre.

Kiss everyone!

Maybe the best of earlier experimental From Soft. Hard to describe the various experimentation going on in this Action RPG, but you can start with the soundtrack.

First person dungeon crawl with randomized dungeons in a strange post-apocalyptic world.

Traverse a beautifully pre-rendered city with the occasional dungeon crawl. Lots of eastern mysticism and symbolism.

Twin Peaks, zombies, open-world.

Furry astronaut adventure game set on a strange planet with almost rhythm-action style battles.

This is the only one out of the series I played but it's a solid foundation. Basically take pictures of ghosts to "kill" them.

Musou and aerial dragon combat... coupled with one of the darkest and strangest stories ever told.

Pretty obtuse adventure game.

Evolve your animal in a cubey world.

First person horror adventure, like if King's Field switched genres maybe.

Quirky Zelda-like with an awesome OST

Trap simulation action/adventure. Created its own subgenre which I think got better with the two subsequent games but this one is just the weirdest and jankiest of the bunch.

Shadow Tower + sci-fi

God simulation (sorta)

So bad it's good 80s-90s tough guy presentation with surprisingly fun gameplay. This is like every corny action game/movie's self-aware cousin.

Most of these games are hard to describe but this might take the cake. It's like taking SMT further down the acid trip.

Essentially feels like a precursor to Deadly Premonition. Open world and very Twin Peaks and very jank.

Open world caveman simulator. Great soundtrack and a mostly pretty relaxing experience.

Earlier game from the creator of LSD.

Quirky loveletter to RPGs with all the grindyness and odd story and locales.

Studio Ghibli-esque adventure game with no combat and various short stories.

Grab and flick gameplay.

Noah's Ark in the future with all the anime trappings.

Jumping Flash but fetch quest. Jumping Fetch

The First two NES Megami Tensei games remade for SNES. These are just the peak of weird to me, maybe it's due to the archaic nature of older games however.

Makes me think of Moon Remix RPG if it were a parody of Zelda... and capitalism.

Basically first-person pinball? Only basically.

Sometimes games seem a bit TOO open to even know where to begin. Regret not playing this one more when I had a Wii.

Insect simulator with Ryuichi Sakamoto OST.

The racing RPG.

Janky action game from the creators of SMT.

all Suda51 games should probably be on here tbh.

Still not sure what was going on here.

Action rpg platformer thing.

The side RPG is where the real weirdness comes in here. I still want to figure that thing out.

Armored Core but if it was medieval and robots were basically created through means of magic. I still prefer Armored Core, but it's an interesting approach.

More weird adventure goodness

The platformer/action RPG aspect of this isn't that great, but the monster creation is super super fun.

Sort of Rogue-like JRPG with all the heroes from Climax games. Still wish they could have legally put Alundra in here.

Story focused adventure game

Strategy RPG with a nice aesthetic

Block pushy game

Two-player only adventure or at least it's not fun at all one-player.

More an interactive experience with a series of vignettes. The creativity behind this one is amazing.

Platformer with his theme song constantly playing in the background.

A game geared towards kids but actually terrifying in its presentation.

I have a soft-spot for this one even if it has all the hallmarks of a budget title.

Action RPG with an obnoxious but awesome OST and presentation.

First person adventure game with mazes.

It's actually been a very long time since I played this but from what I remember it's a puzzle game with a focus on terraforming.

An interesting spin on the RPG formula. Worth checking out as a curiosity.

First person horror game.

Action/RPG Battle Angel Alita

Homoerotic goofball series.

Some of the worst (amazing) computer graphics I've ever seen in basically the successor to the Majin Tensei strategy games.

Evolution RPG.

I really like the presentation of this dungeon crawler. Wish they had English translations.

The Chef JRPG.

Battle system is interesting. Kind of fighting influenced.

If you've seen the Devilman anime, it's basically that but a game.

Junko Kawano (Suikoden) had a major role in this. Definitely has a saturday morning cartoon feel.

First person detective style adventure.

The JRPG where everyone is an anthropomorphic car. Still haven't tried any of these myself however but sounds cool.

First person shooter, dungeon crawler, cyberpunk.

Essentially a strategy war game with a cutesy presentation.

Incredible toon machine with a Ghosts and Goblins skin. Pretty cool for fans of either style of gameplay.

Monster fighting but everyone's a spinning top.

??? I'm sorry... I'm very much at a loss...
