It's been recommended to me but I haven't picked it up yet. What's it like? How many hours can you get out of it?

It's short as hell but there are many different paths depending on which characters you kill. If you end up liking it, you might play through a couple times and get 20+ hours. Otherwise, six.

There's a strong Earthbound influence; the creator made a couple EB hacks before he released this. You'll like it if you like cute, funny games with good music. You won't like it if you expect a hard core grinding RPG experience.

That's not to say the gameplay isn't interesting though, it's pretty innovative in ways. I really like how you defend against attacks by playing a little bullet hell mini game.

I've been playing the hell out of it. Like it enough that I've even gifted it to some friends.

My first playthrough was only about 4 hours long, but I missed a lot of side stuff and also didn't have any trouble with bosses. However, you're intended to play it multiple times through.

Gameplay itself is actually really neat. Kind comparable to the Mario rpgs, in that fighting uses a timed action, and then you can influence how much damage you take in return. Differs in that enemy attacks play like a shoot em up.

Holy soykaf, I don't know why, but this game totally hit me unaware, and hit me hard. I played through the neutral Route first, and today finished the Pacifist Route, it's been very long since I felt so satisfied after playing a game.
This game hat everything I want from a "whole" experience.
My favourite game in years.

Im playing it right now. Im at the waterfalls with the dummy.
this game is great but way too expensive.
it really reminds me of the game OFF

Undertale actually got me to play Earthbound. I was thinking of it for some time, but it was the catalist that finally got me to do it.

I really enjoyed Undertale; it was charming and unique. I feel like the spare system as well as pacafist in general could have been made a bit harder.

If you have sticky arrowkeys it's a pain in the ass. I have to make sure not to make too crazy movements or I'll launch into the wall of the box and probably get destroyed.
