It takes place in a great atmospheric adn very different universe (planescape), adn the story is quite good. Your OP seems to indicate the story is important toyou, so you should give it a go. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Lol, just kidding. I'd have to say Suikoden 1 and 2. They're still my favorite RPGs of all time. With an amazing story line, over 100 characters each with their own unique background, a giant world map, dozens of side-quests, etc., it really seems to me like the model RPG. | ||

Get over the initial learning curve bump and you are in for one of the deepest and most challenging RPG experiences available. Unique experiences every game and the more you play, the more you appreciate all of the details that make the game so engaging and challenging. Nethack is broken. Poison instadeaths either will happen to you randomly sometimes (traps) or you have to play in a completely un-fun manner to avoid them. Once you get to the Castle and grab the wand, the game is over (you are essentially invulnerable once you get your wishes) unless you die to an instadeath (which are all very preventable if you know about them). Elbereth is the most broken thing ever because it means that 90% of monsters won't bother to melee you and very few monsters are even dangerous outside of melee range. And the game is pretty much unwinnable unless you spoil yourself. It's fun despite being really broken, but personally I find Crawl pretty much just a better version of Nethack. I won't pretend that Crawl doesn't have problems--you can certainly get "instadeath" situations to happen randomly early on just as poison happens in Nethack; and escaping with the Orb is disappointingly anticlimactic, especially compared to Nethack's excellent endgame--but I've not found anything that's even remotely comparable to how broken Elbereth or wishes are. Crawl is vastly more difficult; I leave it up to you to decide if that's good or bad. Or if you like Nethack I'd recommend Sporkhack instead since it fixes some of the most broken stuff--or at least did when I last played, which was probably at least two years ago--and makes Gehennom both less tedious and actually potentially dangerous. On the whole Spork is about the same difficulty as Nethack until the very end, where it's fiendishly more difficult (but that's fine because I have only once died after the Castle in Nethack and that was me being stupid and suiciding to a c corpse with an amulet of life saving in my inventory because I'd taken my gloves off). | ||

Panzer Dragoon Saga :D But yeah the title of this thread definitely should be changed as most of these aren't underrated :S | ||

Epic story line, great character development, soundtrack, and some of the hardest puzzles (at least when I was 8) found in rpgs. The most underrated part of the game has to be the control setup. The L button was the same as the "accept"/confirm button and when you held it down, it auto attacks everything for you. I could essentially playing the game 1 handed (dpad for moving, L for auto attack/selecting abilities) when I was grinding for level and was free to do other stuff during the grind. Sadly I hardly ever see any other rpg with that feature. They're actually doing a remake of lufia 2 for the DS but it's going to have a action battle system as opposed to turn based. I hope they don't butcher it too much. | ||
