Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling

amazing game

Peak

One of my favourite rpg game, you should try it out.

PVを見ればお察しの通りのゲームです。 とはいえ、本作は昆虫の世界を根幹に据え、オリジナリティあふれる世界観の構築と多様な性格のキャラクターたちが、時にコミカルに、時にシニカルに、ストーリーを展開していくため、皆さんお馴染みの配管工とはまた異なる楽しみ方ができると思います。というかオリジナルのそれが好きで、インスパイア作品に拒否反応の無い方であれば十分以上に（お値段以上に）満足できる内容になっていると思います。日本語もちゃんとしていますしね（ひらがな表記が多少読みづらいですが）。

Maybe i am biased because i really love entomology, but while i was playing i found myself really immersed in the world and its characters, mainly thanks to a memorable soundtrack and a lot of flavor dialogue that adds a lot of depth inside this beatiful yet simple world. Also, since a long time, i found myself doing sidequests and optional collection beacuse i found it fun and wanted to explore this world and all it had to offer, and that was really a great feeling! If i must find something bad (which didn't ruin the experience for me) maybe it's power balance and economy. I really struggled with money at the start and had way too much at the end; i also felt really underpowered for a lot of the game until i tried a new build and basically first tried everything in hard mode. Overall it was a fantastic experience and i recommend everyone to play it, especially if you like gdr and bugs!

This game has a lot going for it, but the bad parts completely overwhelm the good. More than half of your runtime feels like it's spent looking up guides just to figure out what the game wants from you. A lot of the puzzles are incredibly vague and give you barely anything to work with, which makes them more frustrating than rewarding. The forced stealth sections are also badly designed and end up being more annoying than fun. Combat has its own problems too. Only one of the three party members has a basic attack that can hit flying enemies, but a huge amount of the enemies you fight are flying. This becomes especially frustrating in later dungeons when you're running low on special moves and are forced into awkward situations. Another issue is that characters will randomly reveal they could do something the entire time, but never mentioned it until it was convenient. Vi saying she could fly when the game is almost over is a perfect example of this. The developers are very open about Paper Mario being their biggest inspiration, but some of the design choices honestly made me feel like they took more inspiration from Sticker Star than The Thousand Year Door. It's a frustrating experience overall. The story and characters have their moments, but they aren't enough to carry the game through all of its frustrating design decisions.
