Is it me or this game on Steam oddly...familiar?

I don't want to point fingers or accuse anyone of any wrongdoing but...This game, Jacob's Quest looks very...Uhhh. It looks Mystic. Like it's a...Mystic...Quest.

I mean this is all....oddly....familiar. Why do I get a feeling Jacob fights a Behemoth at the start of his quest. And has to revive the forest by killing the evil dinosaur skelly that stole the Earth Crystal. Fuck outta here, they charging for this? They better have ripped off the soundtrack too!
 
Of all the FF games to copy they chose Mystic Quest? Lol the fuck? Even back in the day I thought it was not that great, although it does have a killer soundtrack, and I like how the monsters slowly deteriorate as their health goes down. Who honestly wants to play a version of baby's first final fantasy?

I'd totally be down for a remake of it haha. A real one though.
 


Wipeout clone from post #4 is BallisticNG, it's been on Steam since 2018 and is pretty well received with a 95% user score.




There's also an F-Zero clone in the works by the guy behind the Sonic inspired Spark the Electric Jester series. With a demo available.
