An insane amount of content for only $10, Genius Sonority proves that they can make quality original titles and should be allowed to do so more often. The whole game has this offbeat, electronically-themed charm to it (assisted particularly by the soundtrack, featuring heavy use of these quirky-sounding synths). The overworld is a ton of fun to explore and there are a lot of optional things to do. There's even an online PVP mode if you're interested in that kind of thing!

The gameplay, story, and characters follow your typical JRPG tropes, but as previously mentioned, the charm of the game's presentation make them fun and memorable. Plus, it's always cool to find a Denpa Man in the wild with an antenna you haven't seen before, unlocking new abilities for combat. My only real problem with the game is that it has an admittedly massive grinding problem; you have to grind a lot in this game, and so it asks for a lot of your patience, but I think the rest of the game largely makes up for it.

I might be a bit biased, since this game was pretty much my introduction to traditional-style JRPGs (now my favorite genre) but in my opinion, this game is the true hidden gem of the 3DS's library, and it'll be a shame when it becomes widely unavailable once the eShop closes. Hopefully one day Genius Sonority will be allowed to go back to making games that aren't just mobile Pokémon spin-offs.

Absolutely beautifully made and passionate RPG. There is a wide array of stats to keep up with, which really adds to the whole experience and gives you plenty of room to experiment and build teams. Not only that, but the connections between things are well thought out and interesting. Aside from the color of the Denpas, the size of the Denpa also changes defense, speed, and evade stats. The online mechanics of the bazaar are really super cool, and are surprisingly still somewhat active as of 2023. The OST is funky and unique, with some really heartwarming pieces. The game is silly and doesn’t take itself too seriously, while also having some really pivotal and interesting moments. The antennas and their correlation to fur, and fusing, is really super cool. Paying attention to which denpas you catch, whether it be size, stripes, fur or antenna is a ton of fun. However it isn’t easy, and the game tends to be legitimately challenging.

Not to mention, the enemy and overworld design is breathtaking and memorable. They each have pretty cool gimmicks and designs, and really stand out in digitoll. I also adore that dwarves find the denpas cute, it’s sweet. Lol. This game is extremely addictive and fun, and very sweet. It’s reminiscent of Katamari Damacy or Miitopia in its uniquely odd aesthetics, and is totally worth it.

Ive played this game since I was a kid and always come back to it.
I hope one day DM4 will come out :,)
