RPG Time: The Legend of Wright

RPG Time: The Legend Of Wright is a beautifully imaginative, charming RPG. Protagonist Kenta's childlike glee paired with some inventive storytelling techniques and fantastic presentation make it feel like more than just a one-and-done title. The six-ish-hour campaign has enough to explore to bring you back for another go, even if the storyline sometimes feels slightly sporadic and unconnected. It's not perfect, with a soundtrack which quickly grates and narration that threatens to do the same, but it remains a charming childhood homage, and a gentle reminder for every player to keep their imagination alive.

RPG Time: The Legend of Wright is a game made by an aspiring designer who's currently a school-kid, or at least that's the game's premise. The focus of this game is largely on style, but it's not entirely devoid of substance. It is however held back a little by some annoying controls and Kenta's railroading.

A brief, but fun and creative experience that, despite being too simple for some, leads willing participants into a world of pure imagination.

If you're okay with that uncertainty, and really okay with crazy hyperactivity, I could totally see why someone would love RPG Time: The Legend of Wright. It's a love letter to gaming -- as in, a love letter to almost every genre you can think of -- and it's designed to look like someone drew it up in a notebook, which only adds to the charm. It's all over the place, but if you want something unlike anything else, this is the game you're after.

There are even a few times where it recommends you play with an adult. But with the overly hand-holdy approach to some of the gameplay, I fear a lot of younger kids would quickly lose interest when there's a lot of downtime due to control being taken away or a lot of dialogue. I still think the game has some fun moments that made me chuckle and features a lot of great hand-drawn art, but I find it hard to recommend this as the best option for the first game for a young child.

RPG Time: The Legend of Wright is a video game with many qualities. The concept behind it is delicious and its application is to be applauded: there is a lot, a lot of inventiveness in the way in which always new and stimulating situations are proposed, daughters of a creative cue that embellishes with extreme effectiveness what is still a basic playful structure, but not for this reason slender.

Every child is a dreamer and this game puts this concept at its very core.
