-| Really enjoying this. Became interested because it's supposedly a new-ish //[[form:videogame:fire_emblem_series|Fire Emblem]]// without all the datey stuff, and that's mostly right. It's a remake of the second game in the series, and following //de facto// practice of the time it's a bit of an odd entry for the series, so also appealing for that reason! I saw complaints that the maps are too big and other stuff, but none of that bothered me. I do kinda prefer small, more puzzle-like maps though. ||+| Really enjoying this.

-| A charming, simplified football management sim. The main appeal for me are the cute graphics in the replays. They have lots of nice little animations, and the games have a pretty good flow! Though the offside calls are WAY too strict.\\ The English version was only released in [[form:videogame:notes:pal_zone|PAL ZONE]], though there is a Japan-only, GBA version available, which should be pretty playable as everything important is communicated with icons. No functioning online mode on the GBA though! ||+| A charming, simplified football management sim. The main appeal for me are the cute graphics in the replays.

 | F2P thing like //Pokémon Picross//, but maybe a little bit less shit? The only annoying thing o far is having to wait on a timer to unlock new areas, but that doesn't actually bother me. There are normal stages, then there are ones called 'quests' where you fight monsters with characters you've unlocked by quickly solving simply puzzles. The order you solve lines dictates the order the characters attack in, which effects which abilities are used. You also build meter which lets you use spells and things. Kinda fun!\\ [[https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-pictlogica-final-fantasy-eng-translation.551514/|Translation patch available]], but I highly recommend patches the ROM if you're playing on a 3DS rather than relying on real-time patching, as that brings some real tedious and frequent load times. || | F2P thing like //Pokémon Picross//, but maybe a little bit less shit?
