That's sort of a similar story to the Dark Cloud games.

Not really. They're both basically separate stand-alone games with the same underlying gameplay, except the first one's noticably harder than the second because of a thirst meter and a meter that has all your weapons constantly wearing down with use. Plus a smaller inventory that forces you to really manage resources.

The second one is more enjoyable even though the first one does have its charm.
