Games that are clones of other games Anonymous 07/07/2024 (Sun) 23:20:21 Id: a2e7fd No. 987485
What are your favorites? Zelda clones have a special place in my heart because I, being really into Zelda when I was a kid, played a lot of Zelda clones growing up. 3D Zelda clones specifically. It's surprising how few of them there are considering the popularity of Zelda games. There are countless clones of both the 2D and 3D Mario games, and even quite a few clones of the 2D Zeldas. But 3D Zelda games? You could count them all on one hand. Another strange thing is that almost of them are Western. Okami is the only one I can think of that was made in Japan. Are the 3D Zeldas just not popular over there? Another strange trend is that the ones with female protagonists (Beyond Good & Evil, Okami) tend to be far superior to the ones with male protagonists (Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, Star Fox Adventures). I don't know why this is.

I really like Darksiders 1. Dont have any pictures of it though so have Lilith from 2. Darksiders 1 was a pretty unique take on the genre. I like the artstyle, I like the combat despite it being so simplistic. I like the weird man who competed to kill more angels than me.

Both are shameless Ratchet & Clank clones
>>987485 Hideki Kamiya said his Ammy's supposed to have no gender. That was probably just localization or executive meddling.
>>987613 Well it certainly didn't hinder its popularity.
>>987485 >Okami I find, what I like to call, "love-de-lic-likes" interesting. Where, by helping out NPCs, you get a resource that can upgrade your character. Prime examples of this is moon, chibi robo and chulip.
>>987654 Moon: Remix RPG Adventure is a really influential game nobody seems to have heard of. As much as Undertale is cited as being inspired by Mother 2, it's more inspired by Moon according to Fox.

My favorite 3D Zelda clone.
>>987611 Are either of them any good?
>>987745 Rough trigger is a 5/10 game, kind of broken. I remember killing a boss in literally a few seconds and I don't think I was meant to. The combat is and kind of a mix of Jak 2 and Ratchet 1, it has that copycat Devil Trigger mechanic every single game made in the mid 2000s has. You might actually like it, I didn't personally hate the game but it definitely felt jank and unpolished. Akimbot isn't out for a few more weeks but the footage looks alright, I hope it's good. The developer's other game, Pumpkin Jack, is pretty good.

These Harry Potter games are also pretty decent Zelda clones. Shrek 2 is a pretty good Gauntlet clone and Goin' Quackers is a pretty easy but enjoyable Crash clone.

Perfect Zelda clone doesn't ex---
>>987774 >harry potter chamber of secrets and sorcerers stone >zelda I like them but while they have open world elements, they're very linear collectathons. The combat is dead simple and barely there except for a few bosses iirc. I'd say they have more in common with Banjo Kazooie. these two and the prisoner of askaban game are the only reason I ever gave a shit about the series

I've heard people compare this to Crash Bandicoot or Spyro. Never played either though so can't really say anything on that.

Also this gem
>>987859 I only know one thing about this game: it's got a fantastic soundtrack.

One is a clone of Crazy Taxi. It's okay. Another is a clone of GTA, minus the hookers. It's very good & still holds up today! And then there's one that is a clone of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and it is shit!
>>987963 Honestly I always thought Road Rage was a great clone of Crazy Taxi, but Hit & Run was a big step down from GTA. In both cases it was clear what they were going for, but Road Rage is honestly of comparable quality to Crazy Taxi, maybe even better. Hit & Run is cool, but if it's trying to be GTA, which it is, it's hurt significantly by the levels not being connected together, and by simply missing the vast majority of the mechanics from GTA. It's still really just a driving game where you can get out of the car, but you rarely have good reason to. It's still really fun to do, but the novelty wears off. Plus Road Rage is funnier, IMO.
>>987963 The wrestling game was atrocious as well.
Can you name a Diablo clone that wasn't better than Diablo? I'm struggling to think of one.
>>987485 I remember a Totalbiscuit video covering an indie game that he referred to as a "sword and board" game, which appeared to make a good clone of the fighting parts of 3D Zeldas, but I don't recall there being much depth to it beyond that, and I guess it had a pretty forgettable artistic name, because I don't remember it. Also I heard something called "Overwatch" makes a mediocre TF2 clone. If I could find a decent Diablo clone, that would be fantastic.
>>988027 Diablo itself is kinda finicky for an action rogue, I like some of Neverland's games but it's another kind of jank along with the other 3D Diablo (2) ripoffs like PSO etc. Anything that's a straight clone just has shittier art and music usually.
>>988027 I love both the story of Nox and the backstory of it's development, from one Dev's tabletop campaign turned into his dream game project. Shame about Westwood.
Dual Hearts was an ok Zelda clone. The combat is mediocre but the interactions with the NPCs and the environments are pretty cool.
>>988218 Can you pet the weird thing?
>>988027 Darkstone
