Born of Bread Reviews
Born of Bread is a lighthearted and charming RPG that wears its inspirations on its sleeves and understands what makes the genre fun.
The two strongest points of Born of Bread for me were the visuals and sound. I really liked the aesthetic of the 2.5D style, they really stood out to me and made me think back to the Paper Mario and South Park games.
Without a doubt, Born of Bread is a fun game. It is entertaining and charming in its own ways. Though the game mechanics are under the influence of its critically acclaimed senior, it still manages to leave memorable moments for its players with great aesthetics and a vivid world. While Born of Bread does provide a lovely experience for gamers who are seeking simple and casual pleasures, the game would need to polish its combat mechanics and storytelling to enable a more well-rounded experience for other gamers.
Born of Bread appears as yet another Paper Mario clone that fails to achieve the balance that the original game has to offer. A series of inconsistencies, from the visuals to several basic game design and world-building choices, hinder the player's final experience. The offer of good RPGs on the Switch is too large for you to waste time on titles like this, unless unless you really miss something in the Paper Mario style and have already played the originals thousands of times.

Born of Bread is clearly a game made with passion that includes many stories to unwrap and silly business along with it. The charm that the game gives is utterly important, and while trying to defeat the villains, you understand that characters aren’t just characters. They feel like important beings rather than just 2D images. Well, maybe, except for our protagonist, he’s just bread. Sorry for the lack of bread puns, but maybe playing Born of Bread will inspire you to come up with your own- and, yes, you will also have a great time experiencing it.
Born of Bread will leave you giggling at baking puns and feeling like a top shelf hero. I haven’t experienced this much fun from a game in a long time.
Born of Bread is a charming RPG that might not always nail every aspect of its design, but will still stand out as a treat for fans of the genre (and ESPECIALLY those who loved Paper Mario). Whilst I wasn’t overly invested in the storytelling and exploration could feel a little clumsy, the beautifully designed world and creative combat makes up for it. There are better RPGs to play out there, but if you want something that manages to feel a bit more unique whilst also wearing its Paper Mario inspirations like a big badge of honour, Born of Bread is definitely worth checking out.
Born Of Bread is a tribute to classic RPGs that those who have enjoyed titles like Paper Mario or Undertale will love. The story covers important themes ranging from the growth of the characters to the meaning of family unity, always seasoned with a lot of humor and surrealism. If you are a lover of turn-based RPGs, do not hesitate to approach this title because it will give you everything you need.

Sporting a look and general charm reminiscent of the Paper Mario titles, Born of bread at yeast deserves a look
Born of Bread’s narrative and mechanics soar despite some perplexing quality-of-life choices—and a slew of minor bugs that will hopefully be fixed soon. Although I’m always happy to see a tag-team turn-based RPG, the game sometimes hews too closely to structural and mechanical tropes better left in the distant past. Born of Bread overcomes these setbacks through sheer force of will. The game isn’t afraid to take some wild swings, either. It’s more than a simple Mario and Luigi homage and absolutely the funniest game I’ve played all year. Consider this a weighted Taylor-based average; I’m scoring Born of Bread based on how highly I recommend it, warts and all.
Born of Bread is a lovely RPG surprise to end the year on. A wholesome and feel-good experience that is suitable for absolutely everyone, especially if you’re looking for a more casual RPG experience. It has a plot that captures the childlike fascination and wonder of a new world, an actively engaging battle system but not too overbearing, and an overall jolly presentation that had me smiling throughout the adventure. Something delightful to enjoy in handheld or share the experience with the little one; just remember silly voices are a must. Born of Bread is feel-good gaming at its best and an adventure I highly recommend checking out.
Born of Bread is all the ingredients of Paper Mario put together in a different construct, and yet there’s something there that just doesn’t gel quite right. If someone had told me it was akin to Bug Fables or Costume Quest, I’d feel differently and mark it higher. But the constant hammering that this is supposed to be akin to the games of the Nintendo 64 and Gamecube makes a high water mark that simply cannot be reached. It’s a lovely title, of that there’s no doubt, but the final product just doesn’t rise to the occasion: it’s just a bit more than half baked.
Born of Bread is a fantastic RPG adventure brimming with charisma that features a dynamic combat system and a repertoire of extremely charming characters. WildArts Studio gives us a wonderful world, very cheerful and mysterious at the same time, with a story that develops very well and has some great twists.
