7. Cryamore
Speaking of Zelda and Mana, you might want to consider NostalgiCO's Cryamore. It takes its adventuring in a more steampunk direction, placing you in the role of explorer / researcher Esmy as she seeks powerful Cryamore minerals that can bestow upon humans dozens of magical abilities. The game is quite the looker, too — character designs come courtesy of studio co-founder Rob Porter, who hails from UDON Entertainment, and animation is being handled by Mariel Cartwright, whose distinctive art brought Skullgirls to life.
Cryamore's Kickstarter broke through every stretch goal thrown at it, guaranteeing an abundance of voice acting, a full Japanese translation, and builds for Windows, OS X, Linux, mobile, OUYA, PS3, Xbox 360, and of course Wii U. Development has been progressing at an admittedly slow pace, so there's no telling when it will finally come out. But if you've got a soft spot for PS1-age adventure games, Cryamore ought to check all the right boxes.
