First things first, if you're only wanting to buy this game cause you're expecting something like mario story, paper mario: ttyd or legends of the seven stars, do not get this game. The battle system is basically you aligning all the enemies so you can hit them, there is literally to way you can take damage against common enemies in this game since you can use the insane amount of coins you get from each battle to add more time to your battle phases. Did I mention you get an attack bonus, which let's you one shot absolutely everything, but bosses, in one turn? Well you do. And there is no level up system, so there is no reason to fight enemies, so there's that. Although the boss battles are quite different, not in a good way. You move tiles in order to create directions too the enemy, if you mess up your route you do not get to make a turn, and get hit, and that is basically it. The great merit is the story telling. The dialogue is humorous and entertaining and the graphics are phenomenal. If you're interested in the story telling I recommend it 100%, if you're in it for nostalgia this game ain't it.... Maybe next time
5/5 story telling
1/5 everything else
If you've never played legend of the seven stars I highly recommend it, you won't regret it
