Kusoge (spoof game) is a popular concept in Japan in which people create deliberately bad, often wrong, or even meaningless games to cause players to resent or laugh. These types of games usually use original computer graphics and have a variety of unique and absurd elements.
In this article, we'll introduce some of the most famous kusoge games, so let's take a look at some of the games that subvert conventions and bring us joy!
1."Nyanpasu:Anpanman'sNoGoodAdventure"(にゃんぱす! あんパンマンのなぐさな假険)
"Nyanpasu" is a horror-anorexic-themed role-playing game created by developer Kenta Nishida, in which the main character, Anpanman, is diagnosed with a severe psychological disorder and is forced to participate in a series of terrifying and shy episodes. In this game, you'll encounter a lot of creepy things, such as going to sex education classes, committing violent acts, and so on. Although the design of this game is a bit rough, the themes it expresses have deeply touched the hearts of many people, so it has become one of the masterpieces of Kusoge games.
2."PoxnoratheGreatJourneyofCrapGames"
"Poxnora" is a story about a young man named Poxnora who earns his living expenses by entering a cheap, junk video amusement park. At first, the boy travels to the city center alone, and the characters he gets along with are very ugly, and his game console often has strange problems. But as time passed, the little boy gradually became richer and more attentive to other people, instead of living a lowly life like before. He eventually achieved his dream of becoming a successful programmer.
3."TheLegendofZelda:OcarinaofTimefortheSegaMasterSystem"
Although the Zelda series has always been a great IP for Nintendo, there are a few enthusiasts who have tried to make this version of the SegaMasterSystem game - and the result is a complete failure. The game lacks all the charm of Ocarina, crashing every time you play, and the buttons on the controller are completely out of order. Regardless, this game is a typical kusoge game that shows us how a simple mistake can ruin a great gaming experience.
These are just a few of the kusoge games I've been able to find so far, each with its own unique characteristics, but together they show a spoof and humorous side.
