I only played the Mother games recently. I bounced about in the original Earthbound release when I was a kid. Still, it was a fan translation of Mother 3 that I got through totally legitimate means that moved me from a place of distanced appreciation to genuine respect for the quirky, charming series.

Eastward is a game that takes the best of Earthbound/Mother’s surreal and fun writing and combines it with the top-down action of traditional Zelda games for a nostalgia-packed adventure that carves out an incredible world that I won’t forget anytime soon.
