Little Town Hero

Little Town Hero, though made by the critic and audience acclaimed Game Freak, deserves neither your time nor your money. As for the issue of, "Not having fullscreen options," the game actually does, but it locks them behind the Title Screen options, not the in game ones. As for the in game options there are a pitifully small amount, including basic camera and volume controls along with the difficulty options, being on either hard or easy. In order to access said Title Screen you need to initially boot the game up, which counter intuitively boots straight into the first cutscene of the game, running at 1280 x 720p in the middle of your main monitor. After the cutscene you are thrown directly into gameplay, leading the player to believe that there are no resolution or fullscreen options in the game as the first settings menu available to you is the in game one previously discussed. Moving onto my main criticism of the game, the Battle System, where we find a janky RNG driven mess. At the beginning of any "Normal" fight you are dealt a hand of five "izzits," and you only have three energy to turn them into "dazzits." The problem stems from the excess of randomness that is thrown at…

I bought the game entirely because Toby Fox made the soundtrack. The window is tiny and lacks a full-screen option, and for some reason, the framerate is often atrocious. If you want to get this game, definitely consider buying the Nintendo Switch version instead.

This is a charming story that could be in a kids anime. A main quest to solve the mystery of the monsters in Town. Several side quests to help the Townspeople. Very enjoyable if you don't take it too seriously. This is a fun Card Game with Board Game elements. Your Deck is called your "Headspace" Each turn you draw Cards called "Ideas" until you have 5 in play Ideas start as an "Izzit" that cost from 0 to 6 "Pow" to turn into a usable "Dazzit" Pow is a resource that you get at the start of each turn, early game you get 3, growing to 6 by late game There are 3 kinds of Ideas Red Attacks. Used once per turn. Needed to damage opponent health. Yellow Defense. Unlimited use. Blue Support. If you can clear the opponent's field and have an unused Red you can attack directly or run. Running grants you "Free Mobility" If you don't have a Red you get a "BP", up to 6, that can be spent to pull ideas from your headspace or revive all broken ideas. Between turns is the boardgame section. You roll a 4 sided die and move that number of spaces. If you have "Free Mobility" you chose where to land up to 4 away or 1 through the opponent's space. Scattered throughout the map are spaces that g…

This is a really fun and strategic game, if you love card games like hearthstone or shadowverse, you'll like this for sure, i love you Gamefreak <3

I've played through this game (100%) twice now, once on the high seas and again after purchasing it. The game is good for what it is. It's got charming visuals, a serviceable low-stakes story, and a pretty fun battle system that can at times be a bit frustrating due to a littering of RNG based mechanics, but is ultimately rewarding to conquer. The game's progression is pretty linear, with the exception of a few optional sidequests, and I really enjoyed that aspect since gaming in general has shifted towards more open worlds. This isn't the peak of gaming by any means, but it's a nice little hill to spend some time on.
