Game Overview

EarthBound is one of those RPGs that sticks with you—not because of flashy graphics or complex mechanics, but because of how weirdly charming it is. You start as Ness, a kid with a baseball bat, fighting off crows, runaway dogs, and sentient piles of vomit. The world feels familiar yet off, like a small town where something’s just slightly wrong.

The combat’s turn-based but has this rolling HP meter that makes fights tense—if you take a big hit, you can still heal before the numbers fully drop to zero. And the music? It’s this mix of cheerful melodies and unsettling synths that somehow fits perfectly.

EarthBound doesn’t take itself seriously, but the writing’s sharp enough that the jokes land even decades later. It’s a game about kids saving the world, but it’s also about odd little moments—like stopping to order a burger mid-apocalypse or calling your dad to save your allowance.
