Games like Mother

1989

You play as the young Ninten in a quirky RPG classic that mixes turn-based battles with an offbeat blend of everyday life, science fiction and mystery. Its idiosyncratic, humorous tone gives the world a lot of personality. Note: this entry is based on the Japanese Famicom version, so some details are less certain.

  • Turn-based combat
  • Lots of humour
  • Strong soundtrack
  • Strong, story-driven narrative

Up to three areas count more, the rest steps back.

Games where this is clearly part of it are left out, no matter how well the rest fits.
