One Ooblet burdens the opponent’s deck with useless cards, another focuses on weakening their attack power, while others raise your card’s power by generating Hype.ĭespite the strategic elements, dance battles are a walk in the park. You don’t build your deck instead, you have a permanent selection of general-use cards with Ooblets bringing unique abilities, thus dictating your line-up. However, you can only play a certain amount of cards each turn based on how many Beats (basically mana points) they require. Many cards sport a point value, and the goal is to play enough to reach a total value, represented by a meter, before your opponent. Commands take the form of cards, adding an element of randomness. How do you get seeds? By defeating Ooblets in dance battles, the game’s humorous spin on turn-based combat.ĭance battles pit squads as large as six Ooblets against each other. For every spring-legged jellyfish, there’s an Ooblet best described as a “mushroom with a smiley face” or “a plain bird.” Instead of catching Ooblets, you must obtain their seeds, then grow one on your farm. Though cute, some of their designs feel uninspired. These critters serve as partners and protectors and come in many species and rarities. In many ways, Ooblets feels like a more purpose-driven Animal Crossing, which appealed to me as someone who prefers working towards tangible goals.Ĭhecking off your to-do list requires the help of Ooblets. That involves tasks such as reopening buildings and cleaning up trash, all while making friends along the way. Despite your newcomer status, the townsfolks turn to you to restore the city to its former glory. The adventure whisks players to Badgetown, a quirky village where residents harmoniously live alongside Pokémon-esque creatures called Ooblets.
However, this delightful chill pill becomes tougher to swallow thanks to a tedious, grind-heavy progression that tests your patience in less enjoyable ways. Ooblets offers a smile-inducing amalgamation of monster collecting, farming simulation, and relationship building.
