This is making my day at work again, thanks all.

Hint #1: this is not a horror game. Not even a mature or teen game.

Hint #2: not an action game, either

In the middle of all this chaos, they poisoned a whole city

Hint 1: One of them got practically electrocuted midway through the game

Hint 2: This game is part of a decently big series

Hint 3: One of the twins has a gimmick that the other twin just can't use

Hint 4: You fight what is effectively the police of this world too at least once

Hint 5: In a future installment, you face a man that caused a worldwide disaster because of a minor inconvenience that's partially his own fault

Hint 6: As mentioned in Hint 2, this game is part of a big series, it's big enough that there are crossovers with the series.

Extra hint: One of the twins is focused on a lot in these crossovers while the other one only rarely if at all

Hint 7: In one crossover, you can have that featured twin fight against or with a certain Beater, a Street Fighter, and/or an alchemist with very thick thighs

Hint 8: The map in this game can be very frustrating to navigate, even when not considering the encounter rate

Hint 9: A crucial piece of the terrorist organization's plan is in the twins' house for some reason

Hint 10: There are love interests for the twins, at least one each and arguably more

Extra hint: One of these love interests has a heart symbol on their chest, although it's heavily stylized and maybe hard to tell

Hint 11: One of the twins is considered a "Legendary Hero" in the future

Hint 12: In one crossover, several other characters from this game also appears, modified to fit that other game's reality. In this crossover, you can give one of the twins a "Grey Sword"

Hint 13: The twins' house has two doghouses and yet they have owned zero dogs throughout nearly the whole series, and the time they do have a dog in their possession, it's not really a dog anyway

Hint 14: At least one of the twins subconsciously gets sad when hearing a certain steady beeping

Hint 15: One of the twins runs if you push and hold a certain button while moving, the other one don't run

Extra hint: In a future entry in the series, you can make it so neither twin "runs" when that certain button is being held

Hint 16: One of the twins appears in a game that's mainly about crossovers, but not as a playable character

Hint 17: This game is the first of its series, and is part of a bigger franchise

Hint 18: The series this game belongs to plays differently than most of the franchise

Extra hint: The series has a spinoff that plays somewhat similar to most of the franchise

Hint 19: Escaping from battle is pretty hard in this game, made easier in the later series

Hint 20: The game features an area where the bad people are said to gather which contains the superboss, but it looks practically identical to the area where the first enemies in this game appears

Hint 21: This game has one of the twins use a special gun at where the other twin is basically trapped to save the trapped twin

Will post hints here if needed.

Hint one: Space dwarves come in handy multiple times.

Hint two: Of course the space police are incompetent and corrupt. Then it would be too easy!

Hint three: Each planet you visit represents an Element.

Hint four: The game is a sequel to its similarly named predecessor that was on the GBA.

Does not feature necromancy.

Hint #1: if it weren't for the manual, you probably wouldn't know you're visiting other planets

Hint #2: controls are very, very simple

Hint #3: you even fight a family member!

Hint #4: sidescroller

Hint #5: bad guy said he was good, turns out he's still bad

Hint #6: this game has some of the worst weapons in the series

Hints go here

Hint #1: not the first game, but part of a very long-running series

Hint #2: man, if there was a game that needed a remake, it was this one. And it got one.

Hint #3: aliens

Hint #4: you're gonna go down. A lot.

Hint #5; man, if this doesn't get solved I'm not even gonna return here

Hint #6: no I mean it, if no one gets this I'm not going to "return."

Hint #7: game(s) is for a handheld system

Hint #8: does not take place on Earth, at all
