A true true love letter to the original two Paper Mario games. Dare I speak for my own preference, I may even prefer bug fables over those games. Bug Fables takes the Paper Mario formula and improves upon it with more dynamic gameplay and more challenging battles. The game is packed with charm, and the amount of side content is staggering. The game gives you an optional hard mode that you can toggle on or off from the start, which I left on for the whole playthrough. I found this to be the perfect difficulty level for me, but the option to toggle at any time is very nice. The story was intriguing throughout, and I was sad to see it end when it did. I would recommend fully completing this game, as I never got bored, even with the mountain of side content. Any Paper Mario lovers will love this game, as long as you truly love Paper Mario for the game it is and not just the nostalgia.

Really good Paper Mario-inspired RPG game. I had initially played this game back in 2020, though I dropped it at the time for whatever reason. I decided to finally see the game through, and while the game is a bit long for my taste (though, any game longer than 8 hours is a bit long for me nowadays), I had so much fun regardless. The gameplay is split between exploration and turn-based combat. I really enjoyed exploring the game world; there were fun discoveries around every corner, and the game often encourages re-exploring previous areas in order to check out paths/secrets that were previously inaccessible to you. The game world also does a great job at creating a sense that it's "lived in", with many NPCs seemingly having their own little lives and goals that make them feel like actual characters and not just vehicles for expository text. The combat was also quite fun. The three party members you unlock are fairly well balanced with their abilities, while still being varied enough to encourage some strategizing in how you approach different combat scenarios. Medals and ability upgrades add further variety to each party member. I haven't 100%'d the game (and I doubt I will), but just a casual playthrough on Hard Mode was in and of itself a very enjoyable and rewarding experience. Not sure what Moonsprout Games are working on currently, though I think I heard any future plans for Bug Fables are temporarily on the backburner in favor of pursuing other projects. Hopefully they return to this series at some point in the not-too-distant future, but I'm excited to see what they'll do next.

As someone who never played Paper Mario or other games in this style, I am surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The writing and overall aesthetic of the game feels very high quality given the game was kickstarted back in 2019. The sheer volume of dialogue/text in this game is insane. From main characters to random NPCs littering the map, nearly every character has something funny to say or leads back to an undiscovered side quest. The story itself is pretty standard and its mainly something you can surmise by the look of the game. There were a few surprises specifically in certain character's arcs, but I won't spoil anything. I found the main party to be quite likable and I was pretty surprised at how much you can do in an RPG like this with only 3 party members. My biggest complaints with the game are its platforming sections and combat. Some of the platform and puzzle sections were dreadful. There were many occasions where the 2D paper perspective of the game felt like a hindrance more than anything else. Ex) Jumping from X-axis on a small platform but not having proper Y-axis visibility to actually land on it. The freeze time for certain enemies which were required for platforming also felt weirdly short. While the drawn map that the characters use is cool visually, it didn't functionally work for me. There were a few points in the main story where I simply did not know where to go and had to result to Google. I might just be too modern game-pilled at this point, but I really do wish the map was more detailed. It would have saved me the trouble of trying to find certain quest locations. Since playing Expedition 33, I have come around to enjoying this style of combat in turn-based RPGs. The combat in Bug Fables ranges from fine to fun depending on what you are fighting. The Boss fights were pretty challenging, especially with the hard medal, and I had a lot of fun trying different builds out. But as the game went on, the combat did lose a bit of steam mainly due to the normal enemies. While the game isn't the most grindy RPG I have played, you're pretty much forced to fight the same mobs over an over for lackluster Exp. By the end of the game, i ending up running past a lot of mobs simply because the loss of hp/tp to Exp gain ratio just wasn't worth it. Overall Bug Fables is a good game that I'd give an 8/10.

Story: ★★★★★ (5/5) Gameplay: ★★★★★ (5/5) Highlights: Vast, hightly well-designed game world; fun, addictive, surprisingly deep turn based battle system; outstanding music you'll whistle on your way to work; endearing, touching characters; extensive story and side/post game. Verdict: One of the greatest gems indie developing has given us in the past decades. Comment: Paper Mario is my favourite game of all time. Bug Fables is, hands down, the new, and improved spiritual sucessor, a true love letter to the 2000 classic, which I can whole-heartedly recommend to the fullest to not only any fan of the Nintendo classic, but anyone who enjoys sitting down for an hour or two after a long day's work and be spirited away into a world carefully crafted with tons of love, inviting you to explore!

My favourite game of all time. I've played it on all the secret modes and the new content from the update. I wish I could wipe my memory and play it again.
