For me it would be the Rune Factory series especially Rune Factory 2 and 3 for the DS.
For those who are unfamiliar with the series it’s a RPG that shares similarities with the Harvest Moon games. So even though you’re doing the usual Harvest Moon stuff like growing crops, upgrading tools, joining in town festivals and choosing one of the villagers to try and marry by completing each one of their social events and giving them stuff they like to level up friendship.
But instead of raising animals you can raise monsters by taming them in the dungeons who can help you fight while you explore the dungeons and level up and if I remember correctly they can even help in boss fights too. It also has a mechanic called Rune Points which can be used up doing daily tasks as well as using your weapons and magic although you can do normal attacks without Rune Points but it sacrifices HP.
The games in the series that I have played have a enjoyable story and it’s a shame the series isn’t that well know ( well as far as I’m aware they aren’t) because they are definitely unique in my opinion.
So what games do you think are underrated and why?
