Is Momotarou Densetsu still worth playing in 2026?

Momotarou Densetsu is a Hudson Soft RPG inspired by the Japanese tale of Momotaro, in which the peach-born hero faces demons across dungeons, in a colorful and humorous folkloric mood. The good-natured tone, the tale-derived universe and an approachable turn-based system make it a charming and atypical JRPG for fans of Japanese culture. The language barrier and a dated presentation limit access. Kept exclusive to Japan, it will appeal to fans of retro JRPGs and Japanese folklore.
