I never played the 3DS version of this game so I had no idea what I was getting into aside from the function of being able to cast the characters, but let me tell ya Captain, this one right here is the one.

This is the silliest game I have ever played and it sure did take me by surprise. First you can edit as many Miis you want through the incredibly extensive Mii Editor, which really needs to make a come back, and if you're not very design-inclined you can just download other people's Miis where you'll likely find the gold mine of the most atrocious characters you can find.

Your band of merry friends, memes, and discount celebrities will then go on a pseudo-RPG adventure where the relationships between them grow to bolster your abilities in battle. It's not about the destination in this game, but the journey where growing attached to your Miis will put a smile on your face.

This game is just downright stupid. While the combat can be repetitive, there are quality of life features such as fast forwarding that will make the random encounters breeze by. The main thing I dislike is only having combat control of your Star Mii and some battles you are begging on your hands and knees that your Lazy party member won't let you down and let your friends get obliterated. (They will.)

The found family tropes are off the chart and it made for a very special experience, having used my friends as party members. I never played Tomodachi Life, but this game makes me want a port of that game STAT. I'm a MII CONOSSEIUR NOW!!
