1 Hour of Little Town Hero Gameplay from GameXplain
- Thread starter LukasManak22
- Start date
There's been almost no chatter about this game which seems weird given who's involved. Gonna check out the vid thanks
there's something very unappealing about this game, i can't figure it out. a combination of slow gameplay, ugly ui, weird character designs and voices. wouldn't be surprised if this bombed.
I don't think there is typically any chatter about GF games that aren't Pokemon.
That's gamefreak for you. They make all their games play so incredibly slow now.
Even if I'd like the idea of the game it would still be unplayable for me because of that.
That wasn't a 30 minute boss fight, that was a player who took 30 damn minutes to complete the boss fight. That was very frustrating to watch.
Yeah. It also seems explicitly aimed at young children in terms of its presentation, but would young kids be interested in such a slow overly-elaborate combat system, with gauges, numbers and buttons covering the entire screen?
Aesthetically it looks great, and oozes charm, but the combat does seem like it could be cut down to less than half the length without losing anything (even going by other outlets who did take less time). I'm still curious about the game.
This is why I can't watch other people play games. I don't get half the decisions the made. I'll probably pick this up later, hopefully they'll put out treehouse gameplay.
Slow gameplay - Strategic thinking
Ugly ui - Multiple and varied combat choices
Weird character Design - Beautiful and unique art direction
Wouldn't be surprised if this was a sleeper hit.
Still looks awesome and charming as heck to me! Hope it does well! Loving the music too! Surprised at the negativity
People like Pokemon in spite of game freak, not because of.
Literally the only thing I enjoyed from the gameplay above was the music lol.
The skybox is probably the most distracting thing for me tbh
I was already tired of the music 20 minutes in. Its nice but repetitive. The combat seems a bit brainless.
Im not a graphics person but even I thought it was ugly. Not just the textures/shadows which are poor, but the miniscule variety in animations and overall presentation were just off.
Hate Axe's sideburns.

That's because Pokemon is really the only major IP GF works on. Anything else is usually lower budget more experimental stuff that doesn't garner as much attention.
Pokemon fans on ERA are weird, man. Game Freak invented Pokemon yet so many want to snatch it away from them because they're not making a BotW equivalent Pokemon game.
You don't make the most successful jrpg series on the planet with consistent critical and commercial success over more than 20 years by luck. Try telling that to Yokai Watch.
When this was first announced, I was actually hyped because it looked rather cool from an artstyle point of view.
Buuut the gameplay looks waaaaaaaaaaay too slow and rather boring. Really made me lose interest. Too bad, but GFs streak of unappealing games (to me, that is) seems to continue.

yeah they were clearly going very slowly, sitting on every menu option for like 5 seconds, presumably to give time to read all of it.
I really dislike the UI, then again I've never been a fan of Pokémon UI (or Smash UI but Smash isn't made by GF). The game itself looks... Okay, but it doesn't excite me at all.
I still think the UI from the game's initial reveal looked better than this, but for the amount of information the game is throwing at you in battles I suppose this works to convey everything in pretty quickly-digestible ways. The monster fight in the video definitely could have been run through much faster.
I dunno, I was intrigued when this was first announced, less enthused when they showed the second look at it in the last Direct, now that we're finally seeing a more full look at how the battle system actually plays out I think I'm kind of interested in this again, at least as long as the story has enough intrigue to it. That's really hard to judge from this first hour but the castle and the folks within it being kind of mysterious is hopeful.
I kind of like the battle's focus on planning ahead, seeing what ideas the enemy has and trying to conjure up an optimal strategy within that turn to break them while leaving something in the tank for yourself. It feels like a good mix of having to think ahead, but not too much so with things still generally just going one turn at a time. I believe the devs said at one point that this was kind of designed as an RPG for people with busier lives that wouldn't require a ton of time investment to get into, and I'm kind of down for that right now. Might wait for a few impressions from people further into the game first but it's at least back on my radar for now.

I guess it's up reviews to give some concrete impressions on this game.
Not expecting anything good though.
