Despite the simplistic part-time job mini games and the randomization of being able to upgrade tools, Trio of Towns hits all of the main points to have a successful daily game loop.
I commend the developer for taking on such an odd corner of literature and creating a unique story inspired by a Bohemian author.
Astro Boy: Edge of Time is a fun and functional CCG, it just doesn't do a whole lot to stand out from the many other like it.

After completing the story, I felt like I had sat down to watch a movie rather than play a game but I got to control the pace if only a little.
It's not that I didn't like playing Aces overall, I'm just frustrated because I can see a great game underneath the clutter of skill lines and odd design choices.
