Destiny Connect: Tick-Tock Travelers from NIS America does a lot right right and is a good beginner's JRPG but has some major technical and design problems.
Destiny Connect: Tick-Tock Travelers can be a confusing game for fans of JRPGs. If the game has some good intentions, it ends up squandering them with its poor visuals and plot, and overload of guides and aids. While the younger target audience might enjoy it, this is not a recommended title for those taking their first steps in the JRPG genre.

It’s a light snack in a genre full of hearty feasts. It won’t blow your mind or change your life, but Destiny Connect will help you relax for a while.
Destiny Connect: Tick-Tock Travelers is very much a "My First JRPG" type-affair.
Destiny Connect: Tick-Tock Travelers feels like an experiment that doesn't quite hit all the marks. There are good elements and certainly things that will not appeal to certain people but for the most part it works.
Destiny Connect: Tick-Tock Travelers is a fantastic game full of heart. Breezy with a bit of substance to it, the battle system is a ton of fun and the time travel-centric mystery plot is a lot of fun to see unfold. If you're looking for a fun RPG for younger players or just want something that's a bit like a Studio Ghibli film in game form, pick it up. There's a lot to love about Destiny Connect: Tick-Tock Travelers and you can't go wrong grabbing it on either the PS4 or Switch.
Destiny Connect: Tick-Tock Travelers starts off great, with a promising story and fun enemies. But the longer I played, the weaker it became. It's a simple game (move from point A to point B in a linear fashion) and a short one by RPG standards, so kids might be entertained by it for a while. But the story ultimately resigns itself to cliches, and the backtracking and repetition combine to make this just an average game, at best.
If you’ve got a lot of patience and don’t mind games that are very slow-paced, Destiny Connect: Tick-Tock Travelers might be worth a look.
Destiny Connect: Tick-Tock Travelers biggest problem is that there are so many more memorable JRPGs available on Nintendo Switch. It's a sweet little entry-level game, and is refreshingly brief in length and scope. It also has a streamlined, nearly retro approach to its combat, and it has fun with its time travel theme. It might not be particularly profound, but it is sweet and cheerful and has a really good soul.
NIS America games are unmistakable and represent the face of the producer. However, Destiny Connect is not "connected" to its own gameplay, bringing many animation flaws, intense motion blur and sensible gameplay without many possibilities. The story and the characters are very catchy, but the game isn't.
