Best N64 RPGs of All Time

We already published the list of best N64 games of all time, now it’s time to discover the best N64 RPGs of all time.

With amazing titles available, the N64 definitely has a great library of RPGs.

So, if you’re a fan of both the N64 and RPGs, there’s a chance you’ll like this list.

And some of you may already know some of the games mentioned in this list.

#5. Hercules: The Legendary Journeys

Hercules: The Legendary Journeys
  • Release Data: Player 1/Titus Software, 2000
  • Genre: Role-Playing » Action RPG

This game has a lot of potential and some good ideas, but it falls short in the execution.

It is heavily inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time; everything from the graphics, textures, menus, and sound is very reminiscent.

Hercules isn’t godly, but as a whole it’s a decent adventure.

#4. Mega Man 64

Mega Man 64
  • Release Data: Capcom, 2001
  • Genre: Role-Playing » Action RPG

A port of the PlayStation action RPG Mega Man Legends, Mega Man 64 is an entertaining game at its core.

However, there are no new weapons, no added dungeons, and no added game modes are present in the remake.

But if you decide to play this game, you could still find a good bit of entertainment value here.

#3. Hybrid Heaven

Hybrid Heaven
  • Release Data: KCEO/Konami, 1999
  • Genre: Role-Playing » Action RPG

This game mixes some action elements in with the exploration and RPG combat.

You’ll find yourself attempting to outrun a giant alien, and avoiding machine gun toting bots.

In the end Hybrid Heaven is a fairly solid effort. Its graphics are slick and it plays like nothing else on the system.

#2. Gauntlet Legends

Gauntlet Legends
  • Release Data: Midway/Epoch, 1999
  • Genre: Role-Playing » Action RPG

Fast, furious, and all together entertaining, Gauntlet Legends is one of the best mindless action quests to come along in a quite some time.

The real star of Gauntlet Legends, though, is the multiplayer mode where it is unbelievably fun.

For those of you in search of power, fortune, and challenge, Gauntlet Legends can not steer you wrong.

#1. Paper Mario

Paper Mario
  • Release Data: Intelligent Systems/Nintendo, 2001
  • Genre: Role-Playing » Japanese-Style

With stunning graphics, excellent sound, and extremely solid gameplay, Paper Mario is a quality game on all fronts.

The sprite-based graphics combined with classic Mario gameplay make this a must-own for any Mario lover, and the simplified RPG system makes this a compelling game for both RPG fans and non-fans alike.

Hi, I'm R, and I've been playing video games since I was a kid. My first console was the original PlayStation (the gray one) and I spent countless hours playing Crash Bandicoot series and Spyro series. My second console was the PS2 Fat, and I completed all of the GTA series 100%.
