While a neat concept, charm and simple yet nice gameplay might draw you in, the short length, repetitive elements and frustrating moments made worse by a lack of explanation (even after beating the game, I still don’t know how the level system works, not that it was apparently needed) hamper what could have been an adorable little homage to a legendary Nintendo series. Not bad, but in the end, you may be better off saving that sawbuck you earned mowing the neighbor’s lawn for something else.

Critic reviews
- The quirkiness of The Legend of Kusakari is probably its best feature. It doesn’t take itself seriously and that’s a major part of the fun. It isn’t a blow away awesome experience, but it’s a nice, simple game that doesn’t take that long to beat. With good replay value, a pretty neat endless mode and a charming aesthetic, Kusakari is an easy recommendation for those looking for something to just pick up and play.
- 5.0The Legend of Kusakari is flawed from the outset. While the idea of a grass-cutting simulator makes for a funny one-liner, it's near impossible to create an engaging experience from such a simplistic concept, and it quickly falls into the trap of mundanity. It may ooze charm, and the love poured into it is apparent, but it's much more difficult to enjoy in practice than in theory.
- 8.0Addictive gameplay, along with great humour and charming character make The Legend of Kusakari a very pleasant experience, and when the only downside is a want for more story and more chapters to play through, you know you're onto a winner.
- 6.0Cortar um sortido de plantas ao som de uma cacofonia de trompetas completamente fora de ritmo nunca foi tão satisfatório. The Legend of Kusakari é um pequeno jogo que tem tanto de divertido como de ridículo e pelo preço aqui pedido pode dar a cada jogador várias horas de diversão ao longo de muitas sessões de jogo.
