This was a really cute game, and it feels really nostalgic thinking back to it. I remember speculating and nerding about it as a kid with my best friend. About the game, it is a fun adventure recalling simpler times, as kids, with a fun but elementary combat system and really evocative dungeon designs. The creatures are all super cool in concept, but really hard to "capture"
Te sigo amando como la primera vez. Las unicas cosas que sigo detestando es que Fausto es un personaje que aparece de la nada y disque que es importante (pero luego el propio canon lo hechara para el tres), la manera de obtener yokais me sigue pareciendo una mierda y que para obtener a Komasura de ahuevo requieres a Kyubi, pero kyubi solo lo puedes obtener en el post game, pero debes pasarte unas misiones de otros culiaos y esos culiaos requieren mierda especifica que sueltan ciliaos especificos, y el juego ni dice donde obtenerlos, por lo que si no buscaste en internet, pues jodete.
This will be my most sappy take on this entire website, but screw it. This entire series means so much to me. The characters are endearing and charming enough for 5 games. The battle system is in-depth and requires actual skill. This all might be nostalgia talking, but I love this game, and will never stop loving it. Really wish I didn't let my friend borrow it. Never gonna see that original copy again. Goodbye, old friend.
An incredibly charming game with pretty mediocre gameplay. The story, characters, and world are nice and simple in a way that taps into a feeling of childlike adventure by combining the supernatural elements with the contemporary setting. While the game’s really charming, the gameplay is kinda mediocre. You equip 6 Yokai to your team and they attack randomly, and while you have control over battles by rotating which Yokai are active, purifying them, and charging their soultimates, there’s barely any strategy involved. The only strategy comes from choosing which Yokai to use, but you can get away without much planning (unless you’re doing the postgame challenges) for most of the game. The bosses are definitely a high point, though, as they all have a special gimmick that adds a bit more thought to combat, and their unique designs make them exciting to fight. An enjoyable time, but not something I’ll go back to anytime soon.
It's really cute and pretty unique. Feels too simplistic at first but the battle system demands more out of you as the game goes on. I wish befriending Yokai wasn't even more luck reliant than SMT Negotiations but getting one feels great.
This game really truly excels in its world. It really feels like you're a kid in a small town, a little nostalgic even. It's filled with these little details like taking your shoes off when you enter the house, or a jingle plays if you make sure the light is green before crossing an intersection with no other reward. Or how two of the final trials are 1. Are you a helpful person around town and 2. Always be honest. It's nice to encourage good morals like in this fun little game.
But it is very child-like, just going on a bunch of random adventures with these Yokai, you know in SPRINGDALE which is filled with YO-KAI in AMERICA. We could talk about how much of a marketing blunder it was in the west and how Level-5 can't maintain a hit franchise even in just Japan to save their lives, but I'd rather focus on the game.
I got to be a cute girl, the monsters are varied and unique (and again, were destined to never catch on outside Japan but boy did they try), music's good and battle system's fun. Once falsely labeled as a Pokemon killer (though Pokemon took the wrong notes from this game sadly), I consider Yo-Kai Watch a hidden gem that I recommend.
