Im really tired of seeing a new Any good action RPGs? Or Im a lazy ass, pick a game for me thread. Im going to put together a list of DS RPGs and other games that fall even close to that genre of gaming.
If you see a game placed in a glaring wrong catigory, let me know. If its just nit picky im not going to move it.
If you have a game in mind that i missed, tell me what it is and tell me which category it should fall under.


\/ READ THIS READ THIS READ THIS \/
Recent Edits: All categories are now in ALPHABETICAL ORDER for your convenience. ALSO. I have added the NDS Wifi symbol to games that have wifi connectivity.
I would like tho thank all of you who helped me compile this list. I really mean it. This cuts down on the "AnY RPgS" threads.
I would like the especially thank:
Silent Storm - for tons of youtube links to preview the games listed here. Almost the whole action RPG list.
armbeno - MOAR youtube links for RTS and the "close" category.
DeathStrudel - for the alphabetizer
777kidis777 - for the huge wifi list, there was no way i was gonna track down all those myself.

Zelda isn't a RPG. It's Action-Adventure.

Castlevania is an ARPG/platformer hybrid.

What about dungeon crawlers? Like Shiren and what not?

Starfy's missing. But I'm not sure it comes in any of these categories.

Oh well. At least you stopped the "Good RPG games for NDS" threads BortzANATOR. Any more - we could make a book.

He forgot more than that. What about -

A Witch's Tale
Atelier Annie
Away Shuffle Dungeon
Black Sigil
Final Fantasy - Chocobo Tales
Glory of Heracles
Infinite Space
Nostalgia
Ragnarok
SMT Strange Journey
Steal Princess
Wizard of Oz

...and those are just the ones on my SD card. Oh, and Children of Mana is in no way a RTS.

I agree with you top 2 statements, but there are a lot of places around the internet that classify Zelda as an RPG, so i feel like im going to do the same. As for Caslevania, you level up, hack ans slash monsters and collect weapons.

Dungeon Crawlers... Um youll have to provide with the some game names. I was going to put stuff like Izluma and Entrain Odyssey in a category like that but didnt find enough to merit a category of its own.

Good good this is what im looking for. But i would also like to know what category these should fall under so i dont have to search forever for the RPG genre. Its not that im lazy, its that i havent played a lot of these titles, and the internet in general isnt very good at telling me the specific genre, so i have to go find videos and determine it for myself.

A Witch's Tale - Traditional Turn-based RPGs
Atelier Annie - Traditional Turn-based RPGs
Away Shuffle Dungeon - Action RPGs
Black Sigil - Traditional Turn-based RPGs (almost sure)
Glory of Heracles - Traditional Turn-based RPGs
Nostalgia - Traditional Turn-based RPGs
SMT Strange Journey - Traditional Turn-based RPGs

Here you go, the rest I'm not sure.

I think the Advance Wars games shouldn't be on the list since you don't develop or upgrade units (they don't have levels or/and gain exp).

Add this for Soma Bringer ( http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=78947 ) its the translation patch.

Tales of FileTrip Download Link Innocence, Hearts, and I guess Tempest should all be on the list under Action.

Nice list so far.

In Days of Ruin they did earn XP and get stronger if they killed a few units.
First one no options though.
