Captain Velvet Meteor: The Jump+ Dimensions

When I tell you this game is beyond adorable, it honestly is. The fighting portion is really good and can be a bit of a challenge but it's very engaging and I love it. The part that makes me love this game is the very unique way that Damien overcomes the different stresses he experiences, by combining his love for manga, his art, and his imagination it makes this game so relatable to anyone who has very creative ways to help them overcome fears and stressors in their life. They did an amazing job!

Using chained attacks to battle alien beasts in an imaginary sci-fi world that a child is using to cope with the stress of moving to a new country, it's a totally objective review of Captain Velvet Meteor! Link here: https://youtu.be/3JH_Vitorpw (10/10)

"Captain Velvet Meteor: The Jump+ Dimensions" is an action-adventure game with turn based combat. Live the adventure through the eyes of a scared kid that tries to overcome his fears and becomes a superhero in his mind! Help him conquer them, along with his robot friend Jay-P, and face them off! Watch as everyday stuff transform into enemies and combat them harmonically in union with your friend.

A burst of emotions will flow through you! Featuring eight Jump+ characters and a crazy plot, it's very fun and entertaining! Well written dialogues and exceptional friends and foes! Along with a great cast of characters, comes an awesome soundtrack and pretty visuals, which help a lot with the atmosphere of the game. Of course, all of these wouldn't amount to much if the combat wasn't satisfying! And oh... It is [b]very[/b] satisfying! You'll learn most of it through the tutorial. The combat is easy to understand and pleasing. The controls are good, the combos are in…

I've been playing it for awhile, made it through a few stages/bosses thus far. I absolutely dislike the level with Chloe and the boss fight led to me rage quitting during my current play through. It's just an incredibly frustrating boss fight that requires things to go just right in order to ensure you can move close enough to the boss to make your attack in 2 turns. After 6 or 7 tries I've given up for now because it's just infuriating. Aside from that I've been having a great time. I enjoy how each new character you meet gives you a new mechanic to deal with and utilize, it's very cool. Graphics are great, and the comic book style cut scenes are great. The game is very charming, and it has this feeling of wonder that you'd fully expect from a child's point of view. Frustrations aside, this is a very enjoyable turn based strategy game that gets a full recommendation.

Main campaign fully completed as of writing this review. I would describe it as an SRPG-style beat 'em up. You will have to think strategically here and there, but there are no stats, numbers or experience points to worry about. The important things are being fast, efficient, and deadly. Each chapter in the game gives you a new character to experiment with, which keeps things fresh, and the overall campaign is short and sweet. The dialog between the Jump+ characters won't matter much to you unless you're a serious fan of them, but the bookending segment about the main character Damien is quite poignant and heartwarming. All in all a fun experience.

If you like a nice little strategy/puzzle game to occupy your time, go for it. It did catch me off guard with certain battles being more challenging that initially thought. As a fan of a majority of the series that appear in this, its also a good intro to those series if you are interested. Not a deep story but its a relatable story that many are familiar with.
