killamch89 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 RPGs on the N64 ranged from light adventures to deep, stat-driven epics. Some titles implemented leveling in unique ways like skill-based progression, equipment-focused growth, or systems that rewarded exploration over grinding. Which N64 game nailed the balance between challenge and reward in its leveling mechanics? Did it encourage you to try different playstyles, or optimize a single build? How transparent were the growth systems, and did you ever feel compelled to grind hours for that next crucial level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
