Retro games have turned into a major arm of the games industry. Once a curious oddity, the past decade has seen them transform into a significant section of the modern gaming landscape. Often developers will try and evoke the memory of a certain genre or system in order to appeal to a modern audience of a certain age. Fox N Forests feels like it’s aimed squarely at the Super NES and Sega Genesis crowd. Indeed, the game is a perfect reproduction of that era, complete with its traditional shortcomings.

The Fox n Forests developers set out to create something that both looks and feels right out of the 16-bit era and it’s safe to say they accomplished just that. Not only did they deliver a truly breathtaking rendition of the classic art style, but also introduced an interesting mechanic to the already familiar style of play. There were some choices I didn’t love, mainly having to revisit levels numerous times to continue forward. And while it certainly doesn’t reinvent the wheel, it hits the sweet spot for those looking to go on a nostalgia trip.

The 16-bit era was full of timeless classics and games that are better off forgotten. Fox n Forests is heavily inspired by that era so get ready for one furry retro adventure!

Fox n Forests can’t be faulted for its fantastically accurate portrayal of 16-bit platforming; very few indie games have managed to nail the look and sound of the SNES so well. Its season-changing gimmick also makes for some inventive moments. Where it lets itself down is in its fiddly controls and its short length, which combine to make a game that’s merely good when it could have been great.

FOX n FORESTS is a game with a few really great things going for it - including its charming story and mostly clever level design that puts its clever season-changing mechanic to good use. Unfortunately, a few aggressive flaws quickly sap the fun out of the entire experience, including forced backtracking; annoying one-hit-kill autoscrollers out of nowhere; and its overall short playtime. It's difficult to recommend the game overall, but it might be worth it for hardcore retro platformer fans.
