Though Hermit and Pig wants to deliver a story-rich experience, it is sorely lacking in replayability and is overall an easy game to beat if you disable the Combos mechanic. However, if you’re looking for a cozy turn-based RPG that is a good time, then Hermit and Pig is an authentically entertaining experience from start to finish.

Hermit and Pig knows what it wants to say, and it delivers that poignant message between bouts of silliness and self-depricating jokes that strike the perfect vibe for turbulent times.

Hermit and Pig goes to unexpected lengths, and it’s a better and more timely game for it. The narrative is sharp, the battles immersive, and the characters rich. It’s a tightly packaged game that balances playfulness, wit, and bite across a rural community scratching out a way of life threatened by corporate greed. Hermit and Pig are unlikely but extremely likeable heroes that will endear any fans of offbeat, satirical RPGs.

Hermit and Pig is a lovely classic inspired RPG that I would suggest to anyone. It has charming characters, quirky humor, and a fun gameplay loop that only takes about 8 hours to finish. Oh, and you CAN pet the pig!
