On the contrary, it’s a great little game, but your experience will vary depending on how well you know the core series, while at the same time offering something very different than a lot of players would have experienced. None of this is to say I didn’t enjoy the game. The levels do carry over into the battle mode, which also lets you create a party of multiple players (as long as you’ve completed a game with them, win or lose). You can unlock additional characters either randomly using in-game currency or by selecting the character and purchasing them using real money, but any levels you gain in the story mode are lost if you choose to replay with that character. Although the bulk of the game does away with the visual novel elements of the root series, there’s still a relatively lengthy prologue before you get to the gameplay and while it was great to see some familiar characters, it essentially acted as a cursory explanation due to the limited story progression. I enjoyed the game, but I struggled to call it accessible. While it has the familiar art style and music - and even the voice lines from the original minigame - it does away with the familiar gameplay in exchange for a board game/turn-based RPG hybrid. The basic premise (and one that doesn’t really hold a candle to how complex the storyline is) is that a group of students - each of whom has a title like Ultimate Baseball Star, Ultimate Lucky Student, Ultimate Hacker - is taken to an isolated place with varying stages of amnesia, where they’re told the only way for any one of them to escape is to murder one of their friends and get away with it.ĭanganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp is an expansion of the minigame Ultimate Talent Development Plan, and while I enjoyed it, it’s not a game I’d necessarily recommend to a newcomer.

If you are, this one might be worth the download.ĭanganronpa is a series I’ve followed for a while, although it’s one I’d struggle to say is accessible. So, if you aren't a Netflix subscriber, I wouldn't advise you to open an account today for Poinpy. Netflix's new original titles have been met with mixed receptions. The only downside, I would say, is that you need a Netflix account to play the game. Although, if you have children, the colourful, cute visuals and pleasing soundtrack will entice them. This can be a good or bad thing, depending on who you ask. Poinpy is one of those games you can close your eyes, switch off your brain, and enjoy. I did enjoy the colourful visuals and soundtrack while playing, and it is one of those games you can play on the go when you’re waiting in line or seated on a bus. It's pretty clear the game makers wanted to make a fun easy-to-play game for everyone, with much less emphasis on difficulty. Don't worry though, it's still very simple to play and easy to get used to. The gameplay works differently in terms of how you get Poinpy to jump. However, this isn't your typical tap-and-jump mobile game. If you are a Doodle Jump fan, there's certainly some attraction for you. I have to admit it wasn't until a couple more hours of playing did it hit me. While playing Netflix's Poinpy, I couldn't help but feel a familiarity with the game.

I found myself hooked on the adorable world of Poinpy. Hopefully, it'l trigger a new wave of slower, peaceful ports.Īddictive? Maybe. Of course, mini-games will still require you to use the touchscreen, which is actually more intuitive when it comes to tapping away at puzzle pieces or dragging and dropping gears.'Īs somebody who finished Teacup when it launched on Xbox earlier in the year, I'm excited to see it move to mobile where its structure is less conventional. Things can get a little wonky with the virtual pad, but thankfully, the game worked perfectly with my DualShock 4 controller. Regarding the controls, Catherine over on wrote: 'As for the mobile controls, it's a simple matter of using the virtual directional pad and a single button to interact with prompts. You take on the role of Teacup, who is a shy and introverted frog who rarely wanders out into the world, however, you've got a grand tea party planned and so you'll need to head out, fetch items for old friends and gather tea leaves to make sure that everything goes off without a hitch. Teacup is a relaxing, narrative puzzle game, similar to a point and click, but mainly driven by short, simple puzzles and through talking with the various characters around the game's world. This week's game of the week is something a little different.
