Read moreHaving a bit of trouble with this one. I'm about an hour and a half in. It's cute. The story is fun so far. It has great music and visual presentation. But, the timed hit system in battle (a la Super Mario RPG) is driving me crazy. It feels almost like they went out of their way to make it counter-intuitive in a misguided attempt to keep it challenging. I may use the accessibility options to turn it off or reduce the penalty for not hitting the weird timing windows. I generally worry that I'll stay engaged and feel fulfilled by a game if I turn down the difficulty, but I think in this may be the rare case that keeps me from dropping a game I'd otherwise like.

Nintendo has tried to make timing based RPGs for years and hasn't been able to since the early Mario & Luigi games, or Thousand Year Door.

Nintendo has tried to make timing based RPGs for years and hasn't been able to since the early Mario & Luigi games, or Thousand Year Door.
Ikenfell not only manages to outdo them in that regard, but has a diverse cast of extremely queer characters, 6 playable party members for your team of 3, tons of spells, tons of secrets and puzzles, and a great story. And the visuals and music are top notch too. It's so hard to find an indie RPG that nails it so much.

The art style is fine for pixel art. The character designs stand out. It's very queer, which is nice. The story and dialogue is the most interesting part. I got to the first boss, in the cellar, died a couple of times, and realized that I just didn't care enough to push through the tedious combat. The timing of the …

I got to the first boss, in the cellar, died a couple of times, and realized that I just didn't care enough to push through the tedious combat. The timing of the crits for both offense and defense doesn't feel good, it feels random and I just couldn't get into a satisfying rhythm. I even tried turning on the accessibility option so that you always get at least a "Nice" and it still didn't feel good or make the combat palatable enough to put up with the difficulty spikes.
