You had me at "Paper Mario Combat" and everything else was just kinda bonus points. Tactical battles? Dank. Cool music? Rad. Shameless diversity? Hell yeah.

Ikenfell is a pretty solid RPG romp with a story that's not groundbreaking, but fun. The art and music are a joy, and it never felt too grindy. I could nitpick some of the design of items, upgrades, menus, and the like. Really the majority of my frustrations came with how precise the combat timing had to be in order to maximize damage delt/received. I feel like the timing window for button presses was simply too low, and with no good way to practice.
