Likes

• Kabbu, Vi, and Leif are unique and interesting to see develop as the game progresses. 
• Battle system not only based, but builds upon Thousand Year Door’s.
• Switching team members is quick and simple in both the overworld and in battle.
• The game really encourages thinking through your turns in battle.
• Harder mode available as a badge costing nothing to equip. 
• Leif’s ice bubble move in the overworld is a bit OP, but so useful.
• That card battle mini-game is a blast.*

Gripes

• Maybe too much like Paper Mario?🤔
• More than a few quests are not all that fun...**
• No dash move to get around quicker...***

SCORE: 5/5

*: Maybe what the battle system in Color Splash should’ve been? Sorta-kinda-maybe-yes?

**: Props to the devs on when particular quests pop up. 

***: But, then there’s the Ant Compass.
