Zoen, a master gardener and your mentor, has wandered into the fast-growing kudzu field and mysteriously disappeared. It is up to you and your arsenal of gardening tools - such as a rake, hoe, and machete - to hack your way through the overgrowth and bring Zoen back.
Kudzu is a good adventure, and we're sure we would have loved it back in the day. We can even imagine kids at primary school asserting that, in some ways, Kudzu is better than Link's Awakening. This is in part because young kids are often deliberately contrarian, but also because Kudzu's character and game world are genuinely noteworthy. This comes through in some tight writing and an enjoyable gameplay experience. Its slight lack of polish might knock a point off, but the Switch pricing is reasonable. We're confident that fans of retro games will find a lot to love, and playing Kudzu on an actual Game Boy would be a genuine treat.
