Is it still worth playing?
Brownie Brown and HAL Laboratory's 2006 role playing game for the Game Boy Advance, the third and last of the Mother series. It was released only in Japan, and the way to play it in English is a fan translation by Starmen.net from 2008. You explore top down with turn based battles, a rolling health system and PSI abilities, and hot springs restore HP and PP while frogs are save points. Combat has a rhythm layer: pressing buttons in time with the music lets you attack up to sixteen times in a row. The story centers on Tazmily Village, with a three year time skip. Every fight asks for timed input and not only menu choices, and the story of a family and a changing village mixes humor and grief, which makes it worth the effort today.
