I have never played Paper Mario, so can't compare. For me Bug Fables plays just a regular JPRG - a lot of back and forth between locations, lack of fast travel, most quests are simple fetch quests, the combat system is not particular interesting. It certainly looks cure and the writing is fun enough, but that can't compensate for boring and repetitve gameplay.
Bug Fables is a genuinely great game, and it will become a timeless classic. Many of you may have found it when looking for a "Paper Mario-like", but I assure you it is much more! Congrats to the team :)

Every market we collect.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

You're telling me Stratos and Delilah of "Team Slacker" didn't help us during the final fight? Did Kojima write this?
Great Story Great characters with lots of gameplay and lore building side quest 10/10
Bug Fables is a amazing successor to the old Paper Mario games. Even though I was not able to play the paper mario games I watch people play them and I always wanted to play one. But this game really gave me what I was looking for I bought this game 3 years ago and never played it till last year. I'd never expected to in joy it as much as I did and I'd never thought that i would 100% the game. The gameplay is just amazing. The regular fight are fun and aren't to challenging so they finish pretty fast sometime they can be tedious depending on the area and if you are going for the 100%. I think the quest are fun but it probably depends on when you decide to do them if you do the as they are available and when you are around the level to do them to where they are not boring to do if you have already beaten the game and just doing them to get the achievement. The bosses are probably my favroet part of bug fables from the main story bosses to quest bosses and the bounty bosses each fight is new and just overall fun to fight even when you have the hard mode medal on to make them harder to fight.
バグがあって何回か落ちたけど総合的に楽しかった
영생의 묘목을 찾기 위한 3마리의 곤충 모험가의 이야기. 페이퍼 마리오를 연상시키는 그래픽 컨셉과 방대한 분량과 탐험 요소, 그리고 멋진 이야기를 담고 있는 훌륭한 게임입니다. 특히 전투 시스템은 턴제를 기반으로 QTE 액션을 곁들여 리듬감 있는 전투가 가능합니다. 단점이라면 캐릭터를 직접적으로 성장시킬 수 있는 요소가 극히 제한적이라 RPG의 꽃인 성장의 쾌감이 없다시피 합니다. 또한 편의성 면에서 아쉬운 모습을 보여줘 매력적인 퀘스트 스토리와 탐험 요소를 가지고 있음에도 손이 잘 안 갑니다. 그래서 우주 갓겜까진 아니더라도 저렴한 가격에 넉넉한 분량, 그리고 재미있는 스토리를 즐길 수 있는 괜찮은 게임입니다.
I beat the main story of Bug Fables earlier this week. Man...where do I begin? For starters, if you're not a fan of the modern Paper Mario games, I suggest playing Bug Fables. It definitely reminded me of the first two Paper Mario games when I first saw gameplay of it. That aside, this is just a fantastic game in general! There are a few overarching points that really grabbed at me while I was playing. 1.) The world itself =============== The setting and worldbuilding are great. The way Bug Fables uses objects that are common or mundane to you or I and twists them into the bugs' perspective is ingenious. For example, a broken toy shovel in a sandbox is a relic hidden in a desert. Leaves, grass, sticks, and pieces of trash make up houses within the first kingdom of the game. The little details like that are great fun! 2.) The characters ============== It's been a while since I've played a game that made me empathetic for the main characters to this degree. I can't go into detail here, because that would spoil the story and some bigger sidequests, but it was SO much fun to see the main characters mature and evolve over the course of the game. 3.) The music =========== I'm gonna be real, I didn't know what to expect with the soundtrack going in. But I really liked it! Each track fit the corresponding environment very well in my opinion, my favorites being in the 3rd and 6th chapters of the game. (Once again, preventing spoilers) All in all, Bug Fables was an incredible game from start to end. I highly recommend it if you want a spin on the Paper Mario style of RPG's, or if you're just looking for a new RPG game in general!
great turned based strategy combat, great platforming, decent stealth sections, great music, great visuals, really good narrative, a lot what this game does is good. mid puzzles, flat out thats my only negative for the game is once you reach chapter 3, the game never explains how to do the final puzzles for chapter 3, and chapter 6, the worst one being chapter 6 final puzzle, since i had to use a youtube tutorial video on figuring out where to go or what to do, because it gives you 0 hints on what to do. 9/10 game, im happy the final boss is a challenge in easy difficulty.
基になったゲームが好きな人も、とりあえずRPGが好きって人も、 多くの人へオススメできる良作RPGです。 本作の魅力は3人同時に戦闘すること。3人もいるからヌルい。 なんてことは勿論なく、それぞれの役割を活かした戦略が求められる。 戦闘において面白いと思った点が「行動権を他の仲間へ譲れる」こと。 基本各キャラ1ターンに一回動けるところを、いつでも任意のキャラを複数回動かせるわけだ。 実に悪知恵をそそられる愉快なシステムですね。 本作にはハードモードが存在し、プレイ中いつでも切り替えられる。 自分はハードで進めたが、ときに数値1ポイントで泣きを見るようなシビアかつ、やり応えのある戦いを楽しめた。 ファンメイド作品ともあって、ノーマルモードであろうと間違いなく本家より難易度水準が高めになる。 ただし寄り道の多くをこなしたうえで迎える終盤は、強力な技や装備が整って一気にヌルゲーと化す。 お手軽かつ強力すぎることから救済措置として用意されたものだと思うので、気になる人は自主的に縛るのも一考。 ヒントは[spoiler]ピンチで多段ヒット[/spoiler]。これもある種のファンサービスなのかもしれませんね。 戦闘面を素直に楽しめた一方で、フィールド探索の手触りが良くない。 謎解きギミックが多く冗長ぎみで、加えて厄介なことに、大抵その付近にザコ敵が鎮座しておりすごい邪魔。 戦闘と謎解きは分断してもらいたかった。
