It's always a pleasure to experience such a well-crafted, lighthearted game, and if that's what you're in the mood for, then get your wallet ready.
Born of Bread is a wacky and joyful RPG Adventure, revisiting turn-based combat tropes. Play as Loaf, a flour-golem discovering this enchanting world full of humor, along with a colorful cast of buddies. Switch version reviewed.

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.
Even though Born of Bread might be a touch too simplistic and straightforward for RPG stalwarts, there is no denying just how well it manages to evoke the aesthetics of Nintendo's Paper Mario series, all the while providing a wonderfully breezy genre effort that youngsters, RPG newcomers and cozy gaming aficionados can enjoy. Born of Bread is a great little RPG that is overflowing with character and charm. You can crust me on that.
There’s no denying the need from the populous to scratch the Paper Mario itch. For years, even the Nintendo developers have tried to recapture the feel without retracing their steps, but that is how we got Sticker Star, Color Splash and the almost but not quite right Origami King. The JRPG-adjacent experience is so desired that Nintendo just threw up their hands and decided to rerelease The Thousand Year Door for 2024. But that hasn’t stopped developers from wanting to emulate that lightn...
Born of Bread is a lovely little RPG with gorgeous Paper Mario-inspired visuals and a great sense of humour that helps elevate its by-the-books gameplay. I had a lot of fun with it, but also quite a few frustrations with glitches and soft-locking, which is a shame as it’s a real gem outside of those problems.
WildArts Studio presents a witty and charming RPG full of character and creativity. But does the game rise to the challenge of is it merely half-baked?
In the mood for a good Paper Mario-like? In our Born of Bread review, learn whether this indie RPG recaptures that classic Mario magic.
Born of Bread is a fine spiritual successor to the Paper Mario games of old, with a lighthearted story, hands-on combat system, and charming characters all coming together to make for a worthwhile experience. That said, it can feel kind of rough around the edges with a long list of bugs (at least at launch), confusing level designs, and occasionally oddly paced story. We’d recommend Born of Bread to any fans of Mario’s traditional RPG adventures, as the positives here do outweigh the negatives, but just bear in mind that this loaf feels like it could’ve spent a little more time in the oven.
Born Of Bread is a home-cooked retro throwback to classic cartoony RPGs full of fun characters and charming stories for children and adults alike.
Thanks to its resemblance to the beloved Paper Mario series, Born of Bread immediately captivates fans eagerly awaiting a similar experience. Unfortunately, I am not one of them, but this doesn’t weaken the charm that Born of Bread brings from the moment you started playing.
By the end of my time with Born of Bread, I was left largely unimpressed. The overcomplicated systems, poor attempts at comedy, lengthy load times and handful of crashes left a disappointing impression on a largely competent story. I liked the characters and world plenty, but they couldn’t fully carry the weight of the bloat contained in the rest of the game. I enjoyed Born of Bread despite how much its flaws became more glaring the more I played, and I think that’s the most incriminating and interesting thing about it. The story kept me hooked and the charm of the world made me want to se…
Born of Bread may look unique but in reality, this is your run-of-the-mill action RPG. Some decent ideas can’t disguise the formulaic ingredients on offer. In terms of bread, it's more supermarkets’ own than an artisanal sourdough. When it comes to bread-based games, you deserve butter.
It’s a shame that the combat of Born of Bread only feels half-baked, as it brings down what is otherwise a relatively entertaining adventure. Though while it might prove to be too irksome for some players, those who can at least tolerate it will find that the positives of the game outweigh the negatives on the whole, resulting in an RPG with plenty of charm and some genuinely funny moments.
