It is a kind of sequel of Mad World, one of Platinum Games' most stylish games. Its PvP mode is fast-paced, frantic, stylish with colorful characters and random events and items. Every character is OP so none of them were. It was the best game on the PS3 to just jump in and do Death Ball, a 3-man CTF or a Battle Royale with 16 people. I want this on GoG because it could be a great jump-in game and Platinum has released some of their games on PC already, but overlooked this one.
The arena fighter that should have been the blueprint for hundreds more to come. The original Battle Royale. Anarchy Reigns was PlatinumGames' take on the 3rd person melee action genre and it was perfect. Multiple modes to jump in and just see ABSOLUTE CHAOS. Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Dogfight(3v3 HELICOPTER BATTLES), Top this all off with a soundtrack that has spread so far and wide it's used for several edits and compilations. It is truly a cult classic

The more I learn about this game, the more I feel it deserved a better chance than it got. Platinum put so much work and creativity into this one. Like many I discovered it through the soundtrack but stayed for the personality and gameplay.

The Black Heart
The Black HeartThere is another world apart from ours. A world that was once beautiful but now is a hostile place ruined by war and hate. A blood stained world... Humans have ignored the existence of this other world because their destinies have never been bound to it... But that is about to change since the king and creator of the other world has been murdered. His strength and will had disappeared as the time passed, turning him into and old and defenseless being. However, that didn't change the fact that within him the incredible power that allowed him to create that other world still existed. Because of that he was attacked by an entity called Final: A powerful creature that emerged from the infinite chaos that exists in the space between both worlds. In a single attack he ripped the king's heart and ran away with it to the depths of chaos. It is said that the one that succeeds at freeing the power within the heart will be given an extraordinary strength; a power that could end all that exists if it falls into the wrong hands.

SorcerLand
SorcerLandA 2D action-platforming adventure about two beastkin sorcerers, Alines and Rabina-Lop, protecting their home, Sorcerland, from the evil Machine Empire. During an intense battle, they were saved by a friendly pony-bot named Machina, a warrior serving Machineland. From there, the three protagonists go on to adventure across the lands, saving innocents and removing the machines that spread terror and destruction. Developed by a single individual known as Zaruku, it boasts mechanics and progression similar to old mascot platformers, but with attacks and special moves reminisicent of hack-n'-slash games. The sprites and animations are bright and colorful, and there are manga-like cutscenes to help immerse you in the world through dialogue and art. Unfortunately, the last time the creator has posted on their developer blog was December 25th 2014, and there have been no updates since. Due to this, it seems that SorcerLand may never see the full completion that the developer intended.
