so much charm!! so much lore!! such good characters & worldbuilding!! let’s not forget the OST!! great replay value with the hidden menu codes to spruce up the difficulty (not for me, but great it’s there). genuinely i have almost no qualms with this game except that the platforming can be a lil janky sometimes, but other than that it’s a wonderful game. seriously worth the full price, and i bought it for like, 10 bucks.
Everything you would want in an RPG is here. In-depth mechanics allowing for tons of fun build combinations, an amazing story filled to the brim with details, lovable characters, many side quests, frequently rewarded exploration, fun side modes, and more! I couldn't… believe how much was packed in this game. I knew Bug Fables was going to be great coming in, but I wasn't prepared for the full course meal on offer. These devs poured their hearts and souls into this game and you can feel it the whole way through. Many may know that Bug Fables is heavily inspired by the first couple Paper Mario games, especially The Thousand Year Door (TTYD). This game can be seen as a successor of sorts to that formula established by the Paper Mario titles. As someone who has played TTYD, I can easily say I enjoyed Bug Fables even more. The narrative is so well executed, even if it has some predictable RPG tropes. I was completely enamored by the world building. They do a lot to make this bug world convincing. Kabbu, Vi, and Leif are an amazing team of protagonists. It's rare that an RPG makes me want to read every bit of dialogue no matter what. I love these three. The active combat is great as well. Those familiar with TTYD will feel right at home. I'll miss being stylish, but Bug Fables expands on the gameplay formula by introducing way more strategy with the turn order and party placement. (TTYD fans will be pleased to know they absolutely designed the progression with the badge strat in mind). I appreciate the difficulty options provided. I played in Hard Mode and was pleasantly challenged the whole time. I wouldn't recommend a new player to do the same even if they feel they are good at RPGs. Unless you're super familiar with TTYD already, I think you'll find that the game can heavily punish the unprepared. That said, you're given the freedom to adjust the difficulty on the fly. I could say more, but just believe me when i say this is an RPG that is more than worth your time. Amazing work.
