    Shrine's Legacy is a Retro-Styled Action RPG to Watch

    If I had a nickel for every time someone told me a new game was inspired by important - if not defining - games from my childhood, I'd have a lot of nickels! However, if the same payment system were applied to the number of times a game lived up to that comparison, it would result in a more lateral financial change. While it's too soon to say with certainty that Shrine's Legacy will earn me those five cents, I've rarely played a game that seems to have so strong a chance of pulling it off.

    Don't get me wrong - a game doesn't have to best my nostalgic feelings to be worthwhile. Shrine's Legacy is clear about its inspirations, but based on my half hour or so with the game on the PAX East show floor, nothing about it feels derivative. It's an action RPG inspired by SNES classics like Secret of Mana, but it never feels like it's trying to replicate its predecessors. I didn't experience any of those "oh, this is a nod to that moment" feelings, or even any one-to-one comparisons in gameplay, which is refreshing. The pixel art and environmental design are excellent, feeling nostalgic but never limited, and the music is fitting and often catchy in the areas I played through.
