Dancing Sword is one of those weird little GBA action-RPGs that never made it outside Japan, but it's got this oddly satisfying rhythm to combat—like if someone took a musou game and shrunk it down to pocket size. You slash through waves of enemies with quick, chunky sword swings, and the controls are simple enough that you can just zone out and hack away. The sprites are tiny but surprisingly detailed, and there's something weirdly addictive about watching your little warrior plow through crowds.

It's not deep, but it's the kind of game you fire up when you just want to mash buttons and feel powerful for 15 minutes. The music's got that classic early 2000s synth-rock vibe too, which somehow fits perfectly. Definitely a hidden gem if you're into mindless, satisfying action.
