PixelPerfectGaming writes: Vanguard Bandits is a tactical isometric role-playing game with a sci-fi twist. It’s very rare to find a role-playing game done in this fashion. Most role-playing games stay with one theme. Vanguard Bandits is a well-rounded role-playing game that follows suit with other RPGs like Vandal Hearts. You fight on a grid (similar to a checkerboard) and you are only allowed to control (move) one character at a time.
Take a look at some PS1 game prices that have really taken off over the past 2 years. Some are trending much higher, but a few have dipped recently and it might be your last shot to get them into your collection affordably.
Hey Poor Player's Greg Peterson went on a deep dungeon-dive for ten original PlayStation RPGs you need to play before you die.
Wow, what a great list. I remember playing all these games. Wish I would have held onto them. Vandal Hearts needs to be on this list too.
Seems like a good list. Don't think I have heard of all of them. Do not have a super huge rpg history though as a gamer.
Oprainfall's look into the past continues with the PS1 strategy RPG, Vanguard Bandits.

There is nothing really that sets it apart from other games in the genre, but it’s story is interesting enough that you will want to play the three paths just see how they all come out. The combat is balanced well and each map will present new challenges for the player to overcome. Some battles seem impossible at first but, with some fine tuning to your tactics, there will always be a way to come out on top."
