Ikenfell captured on Nintendo SwitchĬombat is a fairly large part of the game and is mostly turn-based. Mariette can use her new fire power to take on the various magical enemies of Ikenfell in turn-based isometric grid battles, with a bit of a twist. New forms of magic are cropping up, and even some who previously had no magical powers suddenly find themselves wielding elemental magic.
The conceit does make sense within the context of the story, though, and sets out one of the first mysteries in the game. It actually feels a bit at odds with the message of not needing to be magical to be heroic, which throws the vibe off kilter right from the beginning.
A number of interesting ideas in both story and combat make Ikenfell an appealing prospect, but since some prove stronger than others in execution, ultimately it's a journey with more than a few bumps in the road.Īs the game begins, Mariette almost immediately gains supernatural pyromantic abilities thanks to strange magical occurrences. As Mariette, the non-magical yet still worried sister of one of Ikenfell’s students, you embark on a journey through this pixelated 2D RPG adventure to save her, the school, and maybe the whole world. Students have gone missing, strange trees are cropping up, and other magical anomalies plague the land.
Ikenfell is a magical school in its seemingly natural state: peril.
