Super Chibi Knight

It's a very charming game with a colorful and stylized art style, similar to the original Chibi Knight, which was released 15 years ago. The gameplay's easy to understand; the quests require some exploration, but as long as you talk to the NPCs, you'll figure out what to do pretty easily (it draws heavy inspiration from Zelda II, but it's less obtuse). There are no big penalties for dying (you'll have to redo some sections, and there are some checkpoints from time to time, but there's no game over screen).

It's sound track is timeless and it's voice acting and cutscenes? Booyah! Must more be said?
