![]() While the lack of any real hands-on tactical minutiae is clearly a disappointment, there’s still something oddly satisfying in the way these battles are carried out quickly and efficiently. It reduces the grind, at least.Ĭombat is rarely so difficult that the inability to control your partners ever really becomes an issue, and as your party members’ relationships build and they unlock new teamwork abilities that automatically kick in the whole thing plays itself out in an ever more complicated fashion. The only notable change is that you only have control over your main protagonist – the other three members of your party are controlled by the AI, and if you’re fighting weaker enemies, you can even choose to make your own hero AI-controlled too, meaning the whole battle plays out for you while you get to hold down the B button to make it all move quicker. ![]() These battles are basic affairs, offering the standard sort of thing you’d expect from a simplistic RPG normal attacks, special attacks that use up magic points and not much else. ![]() You’re presented with a world map, consisting of various stages, and the aim is to choose a stage then watch as your party walks along, occasionally encountering treasure chests, other items or – more often than not – random enemy encounters, triggering a battle. Once you’ve personalised the first batch of characters (and your other party members once they appear) the rest of the game starts to follow a straightforward and somewhat repetitive routine. This means if you can find a particularly talented creator online (or someone who’s already gathered a great selection of Miis), you can enter their Access Key, rinse their stock of Miis and assign them as you see fit. Players also get their own Access Key, which they can share online to let others access their library of saved creations. Naturally, though, these don’t make use of the new make-up tools and as such they aren’t quite as detailed as the characters possible in the Switch version. If you aren’t the creative type (or simply don’t have the time to make a load of new faces), there’s an option to connect to an online server containing some of the more popular characters that were created by owners of the 3DS version. “If you can’t be bothered it’s possible to leave them assigned to default Mii characters, but the game doesn’t really meet its full potential unless you take the time to customise everyone’s appearance.” If you can’t be bothered it’s possible to leave them assigned to default Mii characters, but the game doesn’t really meet its full potential unless you take the time to customise everyone’s appearance. Once you’ve got your protagonist it’s time to head out on your journey, but first you have to cast the villagers in the first town you meet. Although at first glance it’s nothing drastically different to the Mii creation apps on the Wii, Wii U and 3DS, the addition of make-up (in particular a wide series of straight lines and curves) means particularly creative players can now make clever use of them to create a much wider variety of characters than was previously possible. Your protagonist can be created either by using an existing Mii or using the built-in Mii creation suite. It’s up to the player to get a band of partners together and make their way through the land, restoring the villagers’ visages by defeating the enemies who are now sporting them. The story, rather fittingly, goes that an evil Dark Lord has stolen the faces of the townsfolk who populate the land of Miitopia.
