unlabelledView post →Good game alert: Hermit and Pig (launching Feb 5) is a real charmer. Earthbound-style RPG that balances being legitimately funny and surprisingly weighty.

unlabelledView post →I had a chance to try out the demo last summer for Hermit and Pig by @heavylunchco.bsky.social and it is a beautiful pixel game with a fun combat system. They shared new images with, "more detail and depth to environments, animated battle backgrounds, and cleaned up enemy and character sprites."
unlabelledView post →Hermit and Pig, good game! Probably my favorite combat system in an rpg in years, engaging and nail-biting to the last fight Creature Kitchen, good game!

unlabelledView post →Feb 25 - Hermit and Pig (Heavy Lunch Studio) - [Game; 2026; PC (Steam)] Great+charming RPG with some unique battle mechanics, not all of which landed for me. Still, a lot to love about this game... unless you're a big fan of capitalism or fascism, in which case maybe you wouldn't like it. 4.75/5⭐
unlabelledView post →Hermit and Pig by @heavylunchco.bsky.social has been on my radar for a while now and I LOVED the demo of this game. Play as Hermit and Pig as they get dragged into town to help save the day and maybe eat some more mushrooms along the way store.steampowered.com/app/2408350/...

unlabelledView post →Game #8 is done! Hermit and Pig was a wonderful throwback to old school RPG's. I did eventually have to go against the devs and turn off the combo system as my brain just could not memorize the combos. Story was as magical as the mushrooms you eat. Highly recommend!
unlabelledView post →Hermit and Pig: This is the most Earthbound game I've seen in a long time. It's relatively short and has the dreaded timed turns but there's ways to edit your battling experience to make it easier on you if you're like me and forget the combo buttons. A lot of fun. Heartwarming ending.
