mixed feelings on this one…the gameplay is pretty cool I suppose. But like a lot of the rest feels sort of duct taped together.
tl;dr:
It’s a solid game but I think it’s barely a “yokai watch” game
Gameplay:
kinda meh until you unlock ~ half of the skill tree
Befriending:
Why is it like this. Why do I have to do like 5x the amount of work to befriend one yokai 😭
Crank a kai:
Didn’t give me any cool yokai 💔
Plot:
unlimited plot but no plot…if you rlly want the plot just watch the tie in movies and show(s)
The yokai:
I ❤️ the new yokai in this game
The blasters:
it being DLC is meh but Level 5 was probably not doing well at that point so whatever. It’s not as broken as Busters 2 and not really as fun as Busters Treasure (ykw3). It was fun in a vacuum though
Characters:
Why are there so many 😭

Overall I liked it I just wasn’t the biggest fan of the neutral ending. The pacifist ending lines up timeline-wise but I suppose (for semi obvious reasons) it’s not a very satisfying ending.
Gameplay and presentation are amazing omg props to the artists and programmers 🫶🏽‼️❤️
It’s nice that they didn’t just bring in the canon characters for fanservice. Flowey was just kinda…there…most of the time. I get he’s basically just there for neutral (and part of no mercy iirc) but he just seems like a way to ground the story in a spot in time.
Also Steamworks is not very fun and the robot (which has been patched so it’s not at bad) is rather annoying.
The Wild West is ok..but I think you spend ever so slightly too much time there. Starlo is sort of cool but also sort of dumb. The Fox Lady was interesting. Most of the characters were fun even if they didn’t really feel Toby/Temmie-ish
tl;dr: I liked the game but something about it feels missing idk

without a doubt one of the worst games I have ever played
///
Music: at most 20% of the tracks are good, the other 80% are the worst things ever made
Movement: Fine, it’s basically Mania
Skins: Shadow and Lego ❤️
Levels: Horrible
Visuals: How was this even released
Performance: (see above)
Multiplayer: (see above)
Bosses: shit from a butt
Special Stages: either ok or shit from a butt
Bonus Stages: nothingburger
Plot: N/A
tl;dr: it would be like a solid 3/5 if the bosses weren’t designed so poorly
