An odd mix of classic Match 3 puzzling, adventure, and mythology that works if you’re patient, but that also made a few key decisions that are more aggravating than they should be
A pretty decent low-budget take on classic side-scrolling action, but that is a little more on the difficult side and has some missteps
While I applaud the attempt to add more complexity and interest to the shooter genre, this simply doesn’t feel like its ideas play well together to make the overall experience more fun
Run, consumer, run… away from this quickly-repetitive and shallow title that would feel limited even on your phone
A fair puzzling challenge that doesn’t break any original ground, but can still be satisfying
Don’t let the title fool you, this is a narrative survival sim that gets pretty dark, but there’s no doubt that there’s nothing quite like it on the eShop
A pleasant and thoroughly cozy affair that dabbles in trying to have a healthy perspective on life, and work on making some fine tea as well along the way for others and yourself
A refreshingly bold, brash, and unique take on turn-based RPGs that has enough personality and flair to justify a look if you’re seeking a deviation from the more polished norm
Not a bad budget effort by any means, but hardly the best even amongst some lower-priced peers
While its basic format can get repetitive, if you embrace the challenge and leverage all of the wildly-different builds that are possible it offers intense shooting fun
While the core gameplay the series has always offered is in full intense effect, it’s the variety as you move between characters and play styles that helps this iteration stand out
A mixture of pretty listless writing, and completely disconnected voice work that sounds AI-driven quickly take the wind out of this game’s sails
While you could perhaps choose to try to enjoy this for being so full of weird contradictions and pretty terrible acting, it is generally a mess
Considering I’m usually frustrated by yet another box pusher showing up in the eShop, this one at least shoots for a fair level of challenge
Though it does a pretty good job of fleshing out the narrative side of the equation, the base console controls are pretty miserable, and in general the game has a slow and clunky feel
Despite the grandiose choice of words in the title, this by no means feels like a grand experience
While it has some decent old-school hack and slash bones, the action doesn’t quite match the quality of its better peers
While it undoubtedly has general simplicity on its side, and some goofy charms, it fails to really stand out as a must-buy action puzzler
Takes the classic point-and-click adventure and juices up the formula a bit with a tighter pace, well-implemented interface, and outstanding voice acting
