A charming, funny Paper Mario-style turn-based RPG with great music, characters and puzzles. Skip it if you dislike timing-based combat or repetitive fights.
Great for
Paper Mario, TTYD and Bug Fables fans who want witty writing, lovable party members and a catchy soundtrack
Main risk
Strict, poorly telegraphed combat timing and repetitive fights, plus drawn-out chapters

“Being able to switch out anyone in battle, not just the partner character, gives your party a sense of equality that only Bug Fables has beat.”
