Too childish

very underrated, creature capturing and evolving, leveling, exploring. game captures interesting characters with fun game progression, and can be quite difficult at times

I'm preemptively putting a thumb down, because this game turns quite painful to play after a few hours, mostly because of the horrible dialogues. Yes, the dialogues. Imagine the main character screaming "NEATO!!" every 5 minutes, and your sidekick filling each sentence with "Crikey!", "Blimey!!", "Knickers!", "Cor Blimey!!" and all that gibberish thought up exactly to "build" a character in the wrong way. It feels like being in a constant cycle where you're forced to read the same things all the time, this is a real nightmare for me. The battles are such a big question mark, too: You can catch and use familiars (pokémon, ok?) in battles, but you can only use one at a time. The fate of the world depends on you, but you decide to shoot yourself in the legs just because. No law. No spell. Nothing is forcing you to use one familiar at a time. Heck, you could crash into battle altogether and destroy the f*** out of your enemies in no time. While I've always wondered why characters in JRPG decide to fight 4 people at a time even when their team is composed by 10 guys, this game reaches a new level of naivety for me. Not to mention, you share your HP with your familiar (WHY?!), so if they die, you die. And the battles themselves aren't really this game's strong point either, as they are generally slow-paced. And to top it all, you have the running speed of a 10 years old (well, can't even blame the game, the MC IS a 10 years old kid afterall), so you can't outrun your enemies on the field, if they decide to approach you, you will (most likely) be forced into a battle. Very wise indeed, Georgie! Lastly, enemy summons (AKA that brief cutscene where your enemy lands a special attack) will interrupt your spells, so if you are trying to heal yourself and you are 0.5 seconds close to do that, the enemy animation will stop your casting time despite you having started sooner AND hit you, and don't let me start about the Overpowered bosses, or this review will be longer than Mother 2. The graphics is coloured and cheerful, but when dialogues are so badly thought and battles seem to belong to the PS1/N64 era, then the answer is just NO.

it's bloody horrible!
