Beasties Switch NSP Free Download Romslab The Beasties live in complete harmony with humans. But the harmony has been cracked by the mysterious disappearance of a Beastiemaster. So the guild of Beastiemasters sends you to an isolated village to investigate and find the beastiemaster. Your character is similar in looks to a board game character like Cluedo. It looks like an image was pasted onto a plastic stand. It’s rather odd-looking to watch, as the way the characters are animated, they hop rather than walk. But then I guess you would hop too if you were an image pasted onto a stand. ROMSLAB.COM Best Switch Games

You are tasked with finding the missing beastmaster in this Pokémonesque mash-up with match-three gameplay. You’ll complete a few minor fetch quests, battle monsters, sorry, Beasties, collect some Beasties, and train them up. And before you know it, just when you’re getting into the swing of things, it’s all over, and the credits are running. You’ll start in a small village with a few NPCs in it. Once you talk to all the NPCs, you are off on your first quest. Leaving the village, you arrive in a forest-like area with long grass. As you move through the area, some random beasties battles pop up, similar to the way Pokémon random battles occur.

The Beastiemaster is Missing!

To battle a beastie it’s a case of playing a match-three game and matching three or more gems together. To attack a Beastie, you are battling; you must match three or more grey gems on the board for your lead beastie to launch an attack. Each beastie in your team has a special attack, by matching three or more gems of a particular colour the lead beastie in your team will pull off its special attack. You can tell which gems to match to have your beastie pull off a special attack by the little icon attached to each beastie. The match-three battling is fun, and every so often, you get a chance to catch a beastie and add it to your team. Badland: Game of the Year Edition Switch NSP

However, the beasties in your team don’t level up during the match-three battles. Instead, it’s a trip to the village to level them up. Returning to the village, you can have an NPC level up your beasties using the Dawn stones you receive after a battle. I found that odd, I must say; in other similar games, once the match-three battle is over, your team would level up automatically. In the early part of the game, I battled a beastie at a higher level than my team. After catching the beastie, I added it to my team and used a few Dawn stones to level it up. Each battle after that was a breeze as my new beastie was so overpowered compared to the beasties I was battling. This leads me to think the balance is off in the game.

Match – Three

The game does look great with its handpainted animation, and the music is nice though it does get a little repetitive listening to it on repeat. You can use a controller or keyboard and mouse to control your character’s movement. I used a controller, but I did try out both systems, and they both work equally well. Beasties is a very casual and easy game offering little challenge that reminds me of a mobile game. While playing it for review, I kept waiting for something fantastic to happen in the game. Say, for instance, a surprise twist in the storyline or an extra area to explore as there is only one area, a forest. Bakugan: Champions of Vestroia Switch NSP

Sadly that never happened. I battled and caught a few beasties and visited all three stalls in the village: a beastie trainer, a blacksmith to mend your only tool and a healer. After nearly three hours of play, I finished the game and watched the credits roll. For the game’s price you don’t get much for your money, and it is over in a flash. Unfortunately, the game’s storyline also isn’t that great, and like the game itself, it ends abruptly. Beasties is quite clear on its Steam page. There isn’t going to be hundreds of monsters, long detailed story, monster breeding or transformations. What you can do is play as a character who wanders around the outskirts of a village, going into battle with his Beasties.

Use Special Attacks

You can have up to 4 Beasties in your party and each Beastie has a skill. Skills are triggered by matching a cumulative colour of gem during a match. Skills can be aggressive and damage or debuff the enemy team or buffs or health replenishments for your own team. Matching black gems will also unleash a standard physical attack from the Beastie at the top of the screen. Whilst there are only a few Beasties to choose from, the match 3 system (horizontal and vertical only – not diagonally) works really well. Each Beasties skill feels worthwhile and no monster is throwaway addition. Bakumatsu Renka SHINSENGUMI Switch NSP

It is a shame that the overall difficulty is quite low though as often you don’t get to flex all your Beasties powers. Battles generate dust that can be formed into upgrade tiles for your Beasties. You do this in your large but very empty village. Levelling up your Beastie allows you to choose to level up either health, attack, defence or skill stats. It’s a nice nuance as I did buff the attack and health of my top Beastie because its the one dealing the physical attacks and getting pummelled first. Each Beastie also has a shield which when destroyed, leaves them open for catching in a RNG decision. In the village is also a shop for buying food to replenish health, although you cannot do this in battle, and a tool restorer as you often have to mine stone and chop wood to get some resources for map progression and selling for coins.
