Dark Cloud series

The town-building reminds me more of ActRaiser than anything else.

This. Absolutely. Pretty much sets these two and ActRaiser (but just the first ActRaiser) in a category of their own.

Well, I'll be honest, I had never heard of ActRaiser... But now, I've looked it up, it looks awesome. May have to look up how much it goes for on Ebay.

I've also really been enjoying Dark Chronicle so far. However, at the moment, the dungeons seem a bit repetitive to me, but it's still a really enjoyable and unique game.
