Sister services, email, and search will continue to be negatively effected by the attacks. I made a thread to talk about it, if you're into networking.
Last Rites. It's a really cool FPS from 1997 that was only released in Europe. https://www.mobygames.com/game/last-rites
I went through the pages to find a game I may or may not have played, and when I saw your post and Lost Magic being mentioned, I felt a great surge of nostalgia hit me. And then a rebuilding of bitterness because I couldn't get my hands on another copy of this game because of how little, to none, people have played it. This was years ago. Now I feel like taking up the search once more.
Anyways, back to the original topic, there's a mobile game I used to play called Warriors of Odin. The art style was pretty nice, the gameplay wasn't too hard to figure out, and the community was alright. The amount of people who played it, especially active people, felt nonexistent. I miss playing it. The next best game I could think of that mimics the guild fights would be SINoALICE, but the strategy behind Warriors of Odin were more ridiculous. The rearguard had to build up support combos to buff/debuff the vanguard. After a while, the vanguard attacks and the damage was painfully high. Broken? I'd say so, but it was an effective broken that helped with a lot of guild fights.
Fun story I discovered and got the game by chance, I got the game forever ago as a christmas present along with a shovelware Fossil Fighters ripoff called ¨Fossil League" from one of those good intentioned aunts that buys stuff from the bargain bin (This is also how I discovered Heart of Darkness for the PS1 which I omitted because I don't think it's obscure enough).
Honestly while a full NTSC set is hard to find a PAL set is not and the game is still pretty cheap on ebay, usually with an average of 10 to 20 dollars plus shipping; I would get it while it's still cheap, something tells me it's not gonna stay cheap for very long once collectors set their eyes on the NDS library.
Infinite Space. Pretty linear Suikoden-esque anime game set in space that was oddly enough made by Platinum Games. Weird AF mechanics that made the dodge command ridiculously OP as it can be left on until you attack, which is a weird departure from how Platinum usually executes dodge commands in other, better games. Really like the story, which gets me to forgive a lot of flaws in a game.
Anything Westwood made that wasn't Command & Conquer or Dune is criminally underrated by default, as is almost everything they've made since they rebranded as Petroglyph, (Grey Goo and UAW in particular).

Eufloria. It's a minimalist singleplayer RTS with a very relaxing soundtrack. No numbers, just colonizing space one asteroid at a time. Plays well as a mobile app but the edition on Steam is better, mobile devices tend to suffer a bit in late games when there's a lot of units active. The campaign changes up objectives frequently, has a hard mode which unlocks after the first full playthrough & additional challenge levels. Very chill.
King Kong : The Official Game of the Movie
There's a decent amount of chatter on the interwebs about it, but I've never met anyone personally on or offline who has any idea of it. As far as the meme category of "movie franchise video games" goes, King Kong's 3D video game for GameCube honestly was not that bad. The game actually had really nice graphics for its time, it handled pretty well and had a small, but unique, weapon pool that were all equally effective. Plus, you get to beat the everloving fuck out of dinosaurs as King Kong. Honestly, 7/10, which for a movie video game is like a 100/1.

Dark Wizard. It was an SRPG for the Sega CD. Notably had (somewhat poorly) acted cutscenes and orchestrated music. Also a choice of 4 lords, which affected income, what alignments of races you could hire/monsters you could summon, and a couple of unique units you could find for each of them. Alas, I was rather young when I still had my Sega, and I never figured out how to get the plot necessary water spirit in order to beat the game.

This is one that I really have no plans to go back to but was pretty critical for the Toy Story franchise, Toy Story Interactive Storybook. Pixar was so impressed with what the team created they became the team to work on Toy Story 2. I'm surprised more people don't know about it.
It was a lot of fun as a kid but I can't imagine it is worth picking up now.

Maybe not super obscure, but Genji: Dawn of the Samurai for PS2 is an excellent hack and slash game that I played the shit out of back in the day. Unfortunately it was lost in the shuffle both by being released as a budget title a bit late in the consoles life and overshadowed by it's meme PS3 sequel Genji: Days of the Blade. The game that spawned the "giant enemy crab" thing.
Could never get past that mirror part and gave up.
Chakan: The Forever Man on Sega Megadrive/Genesis.
Insanely cool, insanely difficult and gave me a real appreciation for preacherman hats.

I liked Eufloria a lot. There are some other games with similar premises, but none with similar elegance.
I fucking love Morphblade. Made by the guy who made Gunpoint and Heat Signature, it’s a small tactical roguelike with an evolving map. It’s similar to (and inspired by) Imbroglio. Basically, the attack you do is based on the hex your character is standing on, and there‘s 6 different hex types (hammer, arrow, blade, acid, heal and teleport). And as you level up each hex, by using it to kill enemies, you can combine the powers with the hexes adjacent to it so that the hammer can attack from range, or the blade can also teleport you.
it’s also only $5, so give it a try.
Gladius on the gamecube for me. It's a turn based strategy game where you play as the young leader of a gladiator school in fantasy Rome or Germania. There's a decent enough storyline where important things are going on in the background but overall you're going to be beating battle leagues, building your school, and equipping your gladiators. You could heavily customize your gladiators, even the named main characters as well.
It was absolutely fantastic though a couple of the later chapters have way less fleshing out to them in terms of story the battles are still fun. The many different gladiator types were fantastic, and you could field fantasy creatures as well. This means that you can potentially field a Yeti, a Minotaur, a Satyr, and a goddamn skeleton mage at the same time.
I also had a mild crush on the male protagonist of the Fantasy!Rome path.

Is it obscure if it had 4 more games in the series? Legacy of Kain tends to be mostly forgotten these days, and despite the fact that it's probably the best game in its own series, Blood Omen is not a very good game.
It's basically Zelda but grimdark with vampires and demons. with worse puzzles, awful load times, and some legitimately frustrating gameplay at times. But the story and the way it's told is so damn strong and compelling that I can't help but forgive its shortcomings. It also has glorious, crusty PS1 era FMV.
Shadow of Rome, it had kick ass gladiator combat with dismemberment and lots of weapons, made by the Onimusha guys over at Capcom.
It alternated between those and forced stealth sections where you played as a twink. Those sucked.

i played the shit out of this back in the day
Game gave you medals for using the taser on someone for so long they caught on fire and died
What always stuck with me is how if you died the enemies would walk over and taunt you, then proceed to cut up/ stomp on your dead body
10/10 game
Now this game? Holy fuck.
Best way i can describe it is Armored core meets tanks.
Its starts off like a normal tank game but then they throw huge tanks for you to fight, then you can customize the shit out of your tank.
Throw some jet wings on your tank for a jet tank with 8 missile racks along with your main cannon, then swap it out for the scuba equipment for the underwater missions
Great game

I remember this game being pushed heavily on Cybernet back in the day. But when I played it I found it slow and disappointing. It's one of this games where the tutorial and turns took forever.
