  6. This thing is pretty slick. Too bad we never got a 3DS like this bundled with OoT 3D.
  7. The Alliance Alive is a spiritual successor to The Legend of Legacy, another 3DS RPG that boasted a large character roster and traditional turn-based battles. Both games use the same distinctive art style—one where characters have no noses, for some reason—as well as the same leveling system that grants health and attack boosts semi-randomly. Although AA corrects some of the largest missteps of its predecessor, there are still some clunky battle mechanics to deal with here that can turn the game into a seemingly random grind. The game takes place in a world where humanity has been subjugated by Daemons, who have divided the world into separate districts and left Beastfolk to rule over the humans. The story begins with two young friends who, while out exploring, stumble into a dangerous truth behind the Daemon rule and set out on a quest to put the world back in order. There's a lot of interesting lore here but the game never fully capitalizes on it. After the initial introduction of characters and locations a lot of the backstory is too muddled or unspoken, which makes it hard to care about the game's world. The Alliance Alive is also a bit overambitious with its characters. Their interactions and dialogue with one another is charming but with nine playable characters their motivations and backstories aren't well developed—even the two characters that open the game feel pretty two-dimensional. Somewhat ironically for an RPG, there isn't enough time devoted to storytelling here. I'll start with the most important change to the gameplay for anyone that played The Legend of Legacy: you do not need to draw contracts to use magic. It was a neat concept but in practice it was insanely tedious, and thankfully Alliance Alive streamlines its magic use. You still need to equip specific items to use magic, but you won't be wasting several turns just to cast one spell. That said, magic still feels underwhelming in this game. The offensive spells are never quite as effective as you'd hope, so mostly you'll just be using magic to heal. Since there is no group healing magic you're often stuck having one character heal individual characters every single turn during boss fights. For basic battles you often don't have to heal at all since your party auto-heals all damage after battle, which is nice but also creates something of an imbalance between the pace of normal fights and bosses. You only actually get to/need to use strategic planning against bosses—for normal enemies you're better off just attacking all-out to defeat everything in just a turn or two. The Alliance Alive does bring back battle formations and the level up system from its predecessor. Formations let you change the focus of each character—attack, defend, or support—to balance your party effectively. Again, this is the kind of strategic thinking that only gets used in boss fights, and although the game gives you a decent amount of options there's little incentive to experiment too much. And like the last game characters don't have levels per se. Instead, after battle they might earn an HP or SP boost, and during battle they might learn new combat skills for the weapon they have equipped, or boost the attack/defend/support rating for a skill they used. Just like The Legend of Legacy this feels like a weirdly unnecessary system for increasing power, especially since it can feel totally random whether or not a character will earn one of these stat boosts. It does feel like they come more easily in The Alliance Alive, so there's a bit less grinding, but the uncertainty is still an odd choice. Naturally, the game has all of the other core mechanics you'd expect from an RPG: exploration, finding/buying new equipment, etc. There are quite a few optional dungeons as well which only have a somewhat random chance of providing any good items but can be valuable grinding locations. As seemingly random as leveling can be in The Alliance Alive you do need to make sure your party is in tip top shape at all times—there are a couple of significant difficulty spikes which can completely blindside you if you aren't keeping up. One in particular feels awfully unfair; the game definitely could have benefited from balancing the overall difficulty, especially between mindless normal battles and more challenging boss fights. All that said, The Alliance Alive definitely scratches an itch for anyone that enjoys classic turn-based RPGs. Not all of its RPG mechanics are completely engaging, but RPG fans will still feel a satisfying familiarity with the basic battle and exploration systems. The controls are simple enough to learn since it's an RPG, though I don't understand why L is used to confirm in a lot of the menus. The graphics have a certain charm to them, even though the lack of noses is a bit weird, and the chibi art style kind of makes it feel like the entire game is made up of children. Still, the art style suits the 3DS, given the hardware. The music is well composed, even if few tracks stick with you after finishing the game. While playing though they have the suitable catchy-ness and gravitas of a good RPG soundtrack. With nine playable characters, several weapon types, and the variety of formations you can employ, there's a lot of variety in The Alliance Alive, which makes it ideal for repeated playthroughs. In fact, there's a new game+ option that lets you carry over certain abilities, which helps you fast-track through some of the early parts of the game. Even if it can be a grind to do so, the game is very friendly to experimentation and creating your own ideas for a battle party. All told, The Alliance Alive is just about mid-length for an RPG—about twenty five hours or so, depending on how much you grind—though maybe it should have been a bit longer to flesh out the story more. The Alliance Alive does an admirable job of fixing the issues found in the developer's previous game, though all the pieces of this RPG still don't quite come together fully. The story has some interesting insights into a unique world, but the game doesn't fully capitalize on it. The gameplay, although less tedious than The Legend of Legacy, still has some nagging issues that make it feel both grindy and, at times, unbalanced. There's plenty of room for experimentation but the grind of building up characters with different weapons/skills can be tiring. The Alliance Alive is a solid RPG but in many ways a forgettable one as well. Rating: 7 out of 10 Alliances

It shouldn't surprise anyone that Detective Pikachu is an incredibly silly spin-off for the Pokémon series, but it has its charms as well—not least of which is Pikachu's little deerstalker hat. Make no mistake though, this is a game for young audiences. A lot of the game feels like a simplified version of Phoenix Wright, which isn't necessarily bad but makes it difficult to feel invested in the story or gameplay. Like any good detective story the game opens with several bits of intrigue: Detective Pikachu is an intelligent Pokémon that can speak, but only Tim Goodman is able to understand him. Pikachu used to be the partner Pokémon of Tim's father Harry, but Harry went missing two months ago while working a case. Now Tim and Pikachu are teaming up to unravel the mysterious circumstances of his disappearance. Not a bad start to the game's story, but remember that this game is pretty clearly aimed at young audiences, so each new mystery you encounter isn't all that elaborate. The game also falls into the same annoying habit as Phoenix Wright of forcing you to walk through each detail even when you've already realized what the solution is. The writing is definitely cute but maybe not quite cute enough to justify these somewhat tedious moments of slow plot development. And ultimately the game ends on a disappointing cliffhanger, one that fails to actually resolve any of the big mysteries presented in the game. It's understandable that they'd want to keep some threads open for a possible sequel but the lack of a strong resolution means the game ends on more of a whimper than a bang. The core gameplay in Detective Pikachu is pretty much exactly what you'd expect: collect evidence, talk to witnesses, then pieces together the clues to uncover the truth. There's always something satisfying about picking up new bits of information in games like this, though there is a fair bit of repetitive action at times as you learn one new detail then run back to a previous witness to check what they know about it, then run back to the previous screen, etc. And don't worry if detective work isn't your strong suit—you basically can't fail in Detective Pikachu, and the game throws hints or suggestions at you constantly to keep you on track. In fact it's pretty annoying at times how much the game doesn't expect you to remember basic details that you just went over. You might hear new testimony from a witness, and then immediately afterward Pikachu will chime in reminding you of what you learned. There's helping novice players and then there's just not trusting players to understand your game, and Detective Pikachu too often falls into the latter category. Occasionally you do get a few action scenes when things get hairy. These play out as quick-time events, and again there's little penalty for messing anything up. The developers may have wanted to keep things exciting for the player but quick-time events are just about the laziest way to do it—nothing of value would be lost if they were dropped entirely. The game's mysteries take you to a variety of locations but there's not that much interesting design in the visual department. Detective Pikachu draws from quite a variety of Pokémon to fill the cast—it's nice to see that it's not just limited to one or two generations—but the art style is just so bland. It may not be realistic to expect anything elaborate from a spin-off Pokémon game but the generic scenery is kind of a bummer. The same can be said for the music, which isn't necessarily bad but it just doesn't excite any emotion or reaction. The one saving grace of the presentation and arguably the entire game is every interaction with Detective Pikachu. It may be a silly twist but his gruff voice really is funny to hear from everyone's favorite Pokémon, and over the course of the game you can watch dozens of little skits with Pikachu. It's not like the writing is any more elaborate with these short cutscenes but they're charming in a child-like way. You can expect Detective Pikachu to last around ten hours or so—not a bad length, but since it's a mystery game there's basically zero replay value. The only things that might keep you coming back to the game are the aforementioned skits which are missable in each chapter. However, if you have the Detective Pikachu amiibo, you can unlock all of them for whatever chapter you have progressed to—pretty handy if you don't want to sift through each chapter to find them. Detective Pikachu is a cute spin-off that features an amusingly bizarre take on the most recognizable Pokémon in the world, but so much of the game feels simplified. It's possible to make a game that appeals to children and adults alike, is accessible but still engaging and rewarding, but Detective Pikachu isn't that kind of game. Instead it focuses on making everything as easy as possible for a very young audience, which might leave other players feeling somewhat left out. Pokémon fans will still enjoy seeing a new side of human-Pokémon interactions, but be prepared for a basic detective story.

  23. With so many experimental spin-offs under his belt (pinball, racing, touch-screen-platforming) I suppose it's only fitting that Kirby would finally make his way to the mini-game compilation format. Kirby Battle Royale draws from the style of Mario Party but ignores the board game system and instead just focuses on a handful of game modes that offer quick, bite-sized competitions—a decent idea for a Kirby spin-off, but lacking in execution. Although fun in short bursts you'll be left wanting more after only a few rounds of Battle Royale's mini-games. The focus may be in the multiplayer but Battle Royale also features a short story mode. Kirby is invited to King Dedede's castle to compete in a battle royale, with a delicious cake as the prize. Naturally the pink puffball can't turn down that kind of incentive, and you'll need to battle through five competitive leagues to work your way up to the grand prize. It's a cute, brief adventure and serves as a nice introduction to the various mini-games that make up Battle Royale. There are ten battle modes on offer here, from standard modes like Battle Arena where you just fight opponents to more objective-based battles like Crazy Theater, which features a sequence of WarioWare-esque mini-games and the first to a certain number of points wins. Ultimately ten feels like a small selection though, especially since some mini-games feel pretty similar. Every game seems like it could have been taken straight out of Mario Party: matches are just a minute or two long and often include some sort of balancing that allows the losing players to catch up suddenly in the last few seconds (annoying when you're already winning, but satisfying when you manage a come-from-behind victory). There's even an option to award bonus points at the end of a match. Furthermore, there's a clear emphasis on intuitive gameplay—every mode is very easy to pick up quickly, and for the most part any level of player can jump right into the game. It's a perfect system for quickly diving in and just having a quick bit of competitive multiplayer fun in a 3DS game. As an accessible party game, Battle Royale does well. The problem is that the games are also pretty shallow. Many of them feature just one stage to play on, and it quickly feels like you're just going through the same motions over and over. And the combat-oriented games feel too similar to one another, even if the ultimate goal is slightly different in each one. There really isn't a ton of room for strategy in most mini-games, so you'll very quickly feel like you're just doing the same thing in every match. On the brightside, there are a variety of different Kirby abilities you can select from (as well as a few free DLC abilities that are still being added) as well as boost orbs you can equip that make the gameplay feel slightly different, but not quite different enough. It's particularly disappointing that the story mode didn't take better advantage of adding a little more variety. Some of the later story matches add extra objectives or challenges that do a nice job of spicing things up, especially considering how repetitive the game can be while playing solo, but these twists aren't available in multiplayer. Playing for even just half an hour feels like a long time when battle after battle starts to feel the same. Battle Royale's biggest flaw is simply a lack of depth to the gameplay. Of course, playing against other human players adds a bit more variety to the gameplay, and in Battle Royale you can play locally and online. With some caveats. Playing locally works just fine and you can even use Download Play if the other players don't have copies of the game (with some limitations of course). If you can wrangle up three friends this local multiplayer option can be a blast, for a little while at least. Online though, you're limited to playing exclusively without friends. The online mode is limited to Ranked matches, where wins earn you points and, at least theoretically, you compete against players of a similar rank. The fact that you can't link up with friends online though is just plain weird. It feels like a pointless restriction to only offer these anonymous matches and not include any kind of friend room mode. Thankfully at least, in my experience, there's a decent amount of players online. You might end up waiting for a little while to find a match but I always ended up finding one, at various times of day. The downside is that lag, particularly button lag, is an issue at times, which can be killer in the combat-focused game modes, and can easily put you off Ranked matches entirely. The visuals and music are more or less what you'd expect to find in a Kirby game. It's colorful, charming, and really not pushing the style of the franchise forward in any way—which is also a shame since a spin-off would be the ideal time to get experimental. Battle Royale doesn't even feature stereoscopic 3D, though with how uncommon 3D has been in recent 3DS releases it's debatable how significant this really is. The audio is similarly unremarkable. It's cute, and fits right in for a Kirby game, but lacks any real zest. Kirby Battle Royale feels like a side mode that was elevated to separate game status without actually fleshing out the core mechanics of the game. The gameplay is fun for a bit but there just isn't enough depth to keep the game interesting after a few hours, and players might feel a bit burned by the full $40 price tag—the game definitely feels like it should have been a more modestly priced eShop title rather than a full retail game. If you have a few friends to play with locally there's some fun to be had in Battle Royale, just don't expect it to last.
