Developed by Cyberhead and published by Namco, Volfoss arrived on the PlayStation in 2001 as a role-playing game.
It landed about 6 years into the PS1's life. Other notable PS1 releases from 2001 include Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed and Worms World Party.
Volfoss is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.
Pick it if…
- you want to get lost in a long quest
- you have time for an epic journey (20+ hours of adventure)
- you've played the PS1 hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you want instant action rather than menus, story and grinding
- you are looking for something to play with friends
- you only have a few minutes at a time
What playing Volfoss is like
Role-playing games trade reflexes for strategy and story. You build a party, level up, manage equipment and travel across a large world, usually through menu-based battles.
Tip for newcomers: Retro RPGs can require some level grinding and rarely tell you exactly where to go next. Talk to every townsperson, save often and use a guide if you get stuck: there is no shame in it.
