Gumball in Trick-or-Treat Land

It's an endearing adventure packed with character and atmosphere that isn't overly complicated or stressful. You explore lots of little towns and strange places, there's even movement abilities that help you zoom around which I really appreciated. Combat is straight forward with some recruitable companions that help keep it fresh. If you remember playing old JRPGs like this it hits all the right notes, if you're new to them then this is a great modern take on one. It was the perfect game to play surrounded by my pets while it rained all day.

Pokemon without the Pokemon. A classic RPG set in the style of a gameboy color game. I felt the combat was tedious and unnecessary but that is kind of my opinion of retro RPGs in and of themselves. I wanted to explore the world but there was an enemy at every step waiting to initiate the same combat loop over and over. Even the first boss I came across was the same thing just multiplied 3 times. Although this is not for me, this is for someone. I recommend this if you are wanting a true Gameboy color experience.

MY game time didn't track properly. This game feels like mixture or Pokemon, Earthbound, and many other weird JRPGs. The art style is great for a GameBoy game. This game has great writing and is packed to the brim with charm! Worth the the price of admission and then some.

It's charming and has fun dialogue, but the combat is incredibly tedious and you're constantly forced to have the same slapfights against the same enemies.

love the style and humor of this game.

A charming turn based RPG with a premise themed around Halloween. Sometimes I like a simple 1 on 1 RPG and this is exactly that but the combat can get a bit tiresome towards the end as there are a lot of battles and if you are like me and don't save often enough you can end up redoing large chunks of them as they come in bunches. Story is simple but enjoyable, there's tons of quirky and funny dialogue scattered across the world with many NPCs to interact with. Visuals are appropriately charming, music is very good and there's plenty to do and explore. Outside of the main quest you'll be rewarded adequately for doing side-quests and exploring. This is a easy recommendation as it definitely feels like a GBC RPG but also has some modern touches to it's gameplay to not make it feel like it's dated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65GfunMJYlI
