>>35460314I was arguing examples of realtime vs timer-based combat in general.
Kingdom Hearts is an action RPG that isn't timer-based, but most of the KH games have a cooldown-based spell mechanic so...
The Ys series is an action RPG, but the RPG elements take a backseat in favor of simple action. Same goes for the Darksiders series.
Dragon's Dogma, Kingdoms of Amalur, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, the Mana series, the Tales series... these are all action RPGs off the top of my head.
Also was mentioning Monster Hunter supposed to impress me? Because if all you've played are a handful of popular 3DS RPGs, then damn right your list is nothing.
Looks like we killed this thread. If this was some autistically roundabout way to get me to recommend you some non-timer-based action RPGs, then I hope I gave out some decent recommendations. Sorry but I don't know of any decent action RPGs on the 3DS. Download an emulator and some ROMs I guess.
