Horror JRPGs Worth Playing | The Dark Niche of the Horror JRPG Genre

If you're tired of colorful and light hearted anime designs, this is a fun list to refer to for darker JRPGs that might classified as horror.

Other than the SoulsBorne games, nothing modern. I wish there were more serious JRPGs (not necessarily horror).

[PoSTedUP]

agreed. havent seen anything im too interested in besides the few ones i like that already came out (and take like 3 generations to make the next one).

ShadowHearts 1+2. Parasite Eve 1, maybe also vagrant Story. Are there really any others you need?

[RpgSama]

Koudelka, the kind of prequel to the Shadow Hearts Games

[Taero]

Parasite eve was a banger, definitely one that I'm glad i somehow ended up with as a kid

[jwillj2k4]

Maybe something not 15-20 years old??

[PeaSFor]

Yeah, obviously need more horror jrpg

[gold_drake]

Koudelka, Shadow Hearts 1 + 2, Haunting Ground (altough, not an rpg but still one of the good horror ones), Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne (lucifers call in europe; i guess you can consider it horror esc), Parasite Eve 1.

we need more horror rpgs haha.

Shadow Hearts: Covenant is such an amazing game! I also miss Parasite Eve 1 and 2 (3rd Birthday was just... a sad excuse of a sequel for the PSP).

Some of these are a bit of stretch to call horror games.
