Orphen: Scion of Sorcery

Orphen: Scion of Sorcery (PS2, 2000) is a cult action-RPG based on the anime Sorcerous Stabber Orphen, blending real-time spellcasting with a chaotic, physics-driven combat system. Play as the snarky sorcerer Orphen, flinging fireballs and telekinetic blasts in clunky but flashy battles, while navigating a convoluted story of magic academies and cursed siblings. Its unique “Tactical Magic” system (upgrade spells mid-fight) and anime aesthetic have charm, but sluggish controls and repetitive dungeons drag it down. A niche pick for early PS2 adopters or hardcore Orphen fans.
