If you look at the rest of the games in my Backlogg (TM), I bet you wouldn't expect this one to be there.

Honestly, a really cool creature-tamer! I don't see how this could be seen as naught more than a "Pokémon knockoff"; the only thing about this that could be compared to anything from Pokémon is the touchscreen minigame where you break things out of rocks, and even then, I shouldn't have to remind anyone that Pokémon didn't invent digging.

Even these days, it's still plenty fun and has lots of depth! I'm aware that it's easy to write this praise off as nostalgia goggles talking, but I for one played the game in 2023, so I don't have that excuse. I'm just a sucker for great creature-tamer games, and Fossil Fighters is definitely one worth playing, DS touchscreen gimmick minigame and all!
