Nine Sols

[PC] [2020-2022] Metroidvania sacrifice for false gods plot?

Platform(s): PC, don't know about others

Genre: Platforming, Combat, Adventure

Estimated year of release: 2020-2022

Graphics/art style: I don't remember much, but I believe it was closer to a hand drawn style

Notable characters: IIRC the protagonist wore robes and maybe one of those japanese straw hats

Notable gameplay mechanics: I don't remember any specific mechanics, but I remember the combat being focused on dodging and I think there was a parry mechanic

Other details: I played this game as a demo on Steam, the full game wasn't out yet and it wasn't a very long demo, so not much stuck to my memory except the lore. The intro had the protagonist really hurt, they get rescued and raised in a village, there's a ritual in the village has where some children are chosen (I believe the game said it was to go to the "land of the gods") by putting on some kind of mask and getting decapitated, and one day the protagonist's friend is chosen and you stop the ritual, you find out the ritual was a scheme being orchestrated in a huge lab under the village. I'm pretty sure the protagonist has some kind of guide talking to him when you're in the lab section. Apart from the demo lore, there was a boss rush mode. I don't remember much else.

[Xbox] [2000-2010?] Turn-Based Strategy that switched between 32bit and higher, set in an alt WWI/WWII, where they battled with mechs

Looking for a specific mech TBS video game / WW1 / WW2

All I can remember was that I •think• I played in on Xbox in the early 2000s - it was set in an alternative WW1 or WW2, and battles were fought with Mechs. Not like “normal” mechs, but rather more like tanks with legs. The only real animation was when you saw if your rounds hit, missed, glanced off the target, or destroyed it. There was also some cut-scene style sliding animation.

It wasn’t that deep. You move pieces to various areas of a world map, build different units, build bases, then you zoom in on them to engage in battle with enemy mechs and soldiers.

TIA!

Eternal Senia

[2000's?] [Steam] Game about a purple haired girl and her sister

Platform(s): Steam

Genre: Adventure?

Estimated year of release: Early 2000's(?)

Graphics/art style: Anime (think the steam game "Love money rock n roll" but with an older feel) and/or rpgmaker (I'm not sure which sadly, the cover art and stuff was definitely anime.)

Notable characters: Purple haired girl and her blonde sister

Notable gameplay mechanics: Unknown

Other details: Strikingly similar to "The Witch's House" (Chara wise, possibly game-wise aswell), pretty sure you play as the purple haired girl, I think she's younger + they might've been orphans?

[Nintendo DS] [2009-2011] A cartoon third person open world RPG?

This may be a long shot, but I want to find an open world RPG I played on the Nintendo DS around 2010.

I couldn't buy any NDS games where I lived, so I downloaded game files from the internet and loaded them onto an SD card, iirc.

To the best of my memory, this particular game started with a cutscene in a castle. I was able to name my character, and I named it something in Chinese (text came up no problem). I was supposed to leave the castle on a quest to do what I don't remember, but I do recall different colored slimes in the way as the first enemies I met in the wilderness - lots of grass but not really any trees, just an open field in a dull yellow hue.

The combat was not turn based, I think I could fight them directly on the map. The map also spanned both screens.

That's as much as I remember, unfortunately. Any help would be amazing and appreciated.

[PC][2010's] A game about a little blue guy.

There was a game I used to play as a child on my PC. It was about a little blue guy (probably his name was trolly or something). The first level was a forest level and main motive of game was to defeat a witch probably. I used to have it's physical copy and in the cover there was a small witch wearing a hoddy (it was a real picture and the face was not visible). The game was probably called "Enchanted Forest" but I didn't get any satisfying results.
