    Ikenfell Review

    While many have been inspired by the more eclectic Mother series, not many have been able to recapture the same mystique and energy given off by those titles. More often than not, there have been massive flops when recreating that formula, and fans have not been able to enjoy them nearly as much. There is nothing wrong with paying homage or being inspired by a certain style of game, but the Mother franchise has proven to be an incredibly hit or miss foundation for a game. (See Undertale and YIIK: A Postmodern RPG) That being said, Ikenfell is a pleasant jaunt through what seems to be the most modernized version of this formula, albeit with its own few unique qualities. The systems and style of Ikenfell prove to be a nice starting point for people looking to get into a new RPG, even casually.

    [...]

    Ikenfell has been nothing but a pleasure to play through and I have honestly spent quite a lot of time with it. What seems like a very simple retro game comes with a lot of depth and charm, along with an ample amount of innovation and accessibility. Ikenfell is a great entry point for those who want to get into more long-form games, with just enough to satiate even veteran RPG players. If you want a retro RPG to spend some time on this holiday, Ikenfell is a really solid pickup.

    Score: 8 out of 10
