Miitopia Reviews
A not-so-evolved version of the 3DS game, Miitopia is fine for children but too limited for experienced gamers.

Miitopia is a weird old game, that's for sure. If from what you've read you think you'd enjoy seeing King King Dedede (sic) encouraging our very own Zion Grassl to marry his daughter Kazooie over Jon Cartwright, then you're bound to have a good time with this. It's very much the type of game in which you get out as much as you put in; if you're not into injecting a copy of Chibi-Robo!: Zip Lash into the role of a genie then you might want to think twice, or at least give the free demo a whirl. Whimsy and madcap situations a-plenty, this is a crossover that could rival Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, provided you're willing to put the effort in.
Miitopia is a simple RPG with a few very unmodern character-creating mechanics. Whether you are charmed by Miis or not is certainly your own prerogative, but the gameplay itself is perfect for beginner RPG players with its focus on relationships between your party members. Longtime RPG players may find a good time in its relative simplicity.
I rarely laugh out loud as much as I have had with this one, and that is more impressive of a feat than Nintendo will get credit for. It's hard to get humour right over something as extended in length as a JRPG, and Nintendo nailed it.
"Miitopia" is an RPG that can be shallow. However, this title shines especially thanks to its protagonists: the Mii. That our character can lead a group of heroes in which there are also his friends, family or famous characters that he admires is a real enjoy. In addition, we also found it very interesting to be able to raise the level of affinity between the Mii, and how this affinity is reflected in the cooperation between characters in battles

Miitopia is a great fit in Nintendo's catalogue since it's a great experience for casual gamers. It's a great place to take your first step into the world of RPGs and this time it comes to Nintendo Switch with a lot of interesting improvements.

Beyond the improved visuals and supplementary customization options, the additional member of the team played by the horse proves the main evolution of Grezzo's port, which makes the adventure even more pleasant for young audience, while RPG veterans may surely appreciate such irony, too reminiscent of the 3DS version though.

Miitopia on Switch is a fantastic conversion from the 3DS and does an admirable job at enhancing the experience.
Still, if you like Nintendo's brand of wholesome humor, Miitopia should be right up your alley. If you have a lot of Mii characters saved up, waiting for an adventure just like this, your moment has arrived.
Miitopia is whimsical in its opening hours, but becomes repetitive far too quickly.
Personal freedom and flexibility are essential components in any good RPG. Miitopia has this in spades, yet it’s sorely lacking in some other key areas. Things like the main narrative and the RPG portion are relatively threadbare. Even so, the highlights are charming enough that you’re not so concerned about that. In some respects, there’s barely a game here at all. And yet, I’m still charmed by what I consider to be the core gameplay. Not the tedious battles or the humdrum story, but the interpersonal bonds and endless customization. If you’re looking for some laid-back fun in short chunks, this will be perfect for you. On the other hand, the game is missing big sections of what makes a good RPG. So long as you’re up for a leisurely tour through an endless succession of inns, Miitopia will be a great time.
The character is the stronggest point of Miitopia. Its Nintendo Switch version offers excellent variation based on more various customizing system than the 3DS version has. In that sense, Miitopia can provide amazing adventures for those who like to build their own theme and do role play with it.

Miitopia oozes wit and charm, but its core gameplay systems are simple and often repetitive.
Miitopia can feel like a blank slate in so many ways, from its barebones combat to its shallow storytelling. Yet these factors are exactly what gives the game its unique appeal.
It’s not too taxing and the gameplay is easily conquerable, meaning older gamers should probably avoid. And while it does get very samey after a while, the storytelling is always funny and the extra element of putting yourself in the game adds to the lols.
As an RPG, Miitopia is about as light as it gets, meaning anyone looking for a modicum of depth will be let down. It's content being a light-hearted, laugh-focused piece of entertainment that doesn't require much thought or skill, and as long as you're content with that too you should have a good time.
Miitopia's great character creation is wasted on a shallow, repetitive RPG experience.
Despite its ups & downs, it's hard not to love Miitopia and its quirkyness. Even the most generic and basic RPG story suddenly becomes a compelling tale if you use friends-shaped Miis as characters and Miitopia adds to this formula a large amount of humor and weirdness that fills the void when the rhythm slows down. If I had a child, this would be the first RPG I'd play with him (or her).

Miitopia still retains its charm as it hops from 3DS to Switch, as well as a decent upgrade in the visual department. It's no 100-hour epic, but it's a cute and quirky little RPG that makes for an adorable distraction when you need to let your brain rest for a bit.
A make-up editor for the Mii characters doesn't sound like much, but it makes a huge difference in our perception of Miitopia. Its LIMITLESS possibilities when creating any character reinforce even more the brilliant sense of humor of the game... because the gameplay is way too simple and repetitive to hold your interest for long.
