Great premise, okay execution. One of the more charming Playdate Season games. A really cool twist on usual grid-based battle games with a cool use of the crank. Just feels like it isn't very fleshed out and you can run through all the content in no time, especially once you buy the ridiculously strong video camera option. Fun though.
Sasquatchers gets a lot of bonus points for a unique premise, and a good sense of humour and overall style. I really love the idea of a game where you are hunting for the perfect shot of cryptids.
This game has the functional building blocks of something really cool, but ultimately is not really fleshed out enough in my opinion. It's not just short, but almost every encounter plays out very similarly. You generally don't have to hunt the cryptids on the map, they just walk over to you and you photograph them. The videographer is ridiculously OP, and makes even the later levels feel quite trivial.

Great premise, great execution. One of the few Playdate Season One games that I could truly see myself coming back to repeatedly.
Aunque Sasquatchers no puede evitar parecerse a los juegos de estrategia prototípicos de portátiles anteriores como Game Boy Advance (y el juego tiene la decencia de reconocerlo con un par de referencias), el giro de su aplicación es más interesante y particular de lo que podrá parecer. Mediante una pequeña pero cuidada selección de monstruos que debes fotografiar y documentar, el juego te propulsa por distintos mapas y te sugiere la promesa de muchos más. Teniendo en cuenta las herramientas de que dispones para documentar a estos monstruos, no creo que el juego pudiera sostenerse ni que fuera con una criatura más, pero creo que hace un trabajo bastante decente al tiempo de que provee de un estilo visual desenfadado.

While Sasquatchers can't help being a pastiche of early handheld strategy (and the game has the decency to acknowledge it), the twist of its presentation is more appealing and unique than it may seem. Through a small but thoughtful selection of monsters that you must photograph and document, the game propels you through different maps and hints at the promise of many more. Considering the tools you have at your disposal, I don't think the game would hold up if it tried to even just one more creature, but it does a pretty decent job with what it has while providing a lighthearted visual style.

É uma pena que eu não goste mesmo de RPG tático, porque a proposta temática e o humor desse aqui é bem diferente e me interessou.
I didn't play much of this, because I found it too slow and not my cup of tea
Super cool concept, need to play more
