A very charming story-driven RPG. Whether you connect with the characters and the story will depend on each person I think.

The combat is very well designed, and feels really good even in the random encounters. It rewards careful positioning, and while the timing gimmick can start to feel tiresome after a while, each spell has a different timing to master, which keeps the combat fresh.

The art can be somewhat janky at times, but the music is noteworthy and has some bangers.

Overall, Ikenfell was an excellent experience, which I recommand heartily.

The truly best part about this game is the cast of characters. Just a bunch of solid cuties all around. Music is really great, too.

Combat is pretty fun with the Super Mario RPG-esque timing-based actions and defenses, and it's helpful that there's a way to simplify in the options that if you start to get bored of it.

Nice game :D
