Disney Pixel RPG 4+

Okay so I’ve played through all 3 of the available worlds rn and this game is busted but I LOVE it. The character designs are great, the story is charming, the systems are fun, but the game is brutal if you’re free 2 play and unlucky (me) lol.

Translation is rough at times and there are LOTS of bugs, mostly visual but I’ve had a couple crashes (no progress lost thankfully). The menus are confusing at times, you can barely save enough energy to play the levels, some materials don’t even exist yet, and combat is very weighted toward the premium characters. HOWEVER I was able to beat the story so far having only ONE premium character from the first pull and, though it was brutal, I personally had a great time. The systems are fun when you get in the weeds and have to work with what you’ve got (don’t sleep on Chip and Dumbo).

I love this game but I really can’t recommend it in its current state. It’s so strong in so many areas but undercut by so many others. What it needs is some more time in the oven, in about a year this game is gonna shine but I still adore it right now. I’ll stick around and hopefully will be able to bump this review to 5 stars someday soon!

look, this is a pretty solid game. graphics are great as well as sound design, but there’s hardly any characters. not to mention, there’s only 3 worlds with around 18 levels each which you can breeze through pretty quickly and after that there’s “hard” variations of the levels from each world you completed.

it just kinda feels like this game was rushed considering the lack of content, but i plan on continuing to play and hope there are some major updates in the future with more characters.

EDIT: if you find this game falls flat, i would highly recommend Disney Magical Kingdom 2 on nintendo switch. It’s a disney rpg (no pixel graphics) that has 1000x more content. bringing this game up because i’d like to see the devs incorporate the world unlocking system where you can actually visit a world and meet new characters instead of “unlocking” a world and only being able to battle in it.

lots of quality of life adjustments need to be made. i’ve come to realize the devs are definitely relying on gacha to make money, which isn’t smart. nobody wants to spend money on a gacha game with minimal content. you have to add engaging content to give people a reason to pull gacha.

i’m also bumping my review down from 4 to 3 stars. yes, i still play this game, but the content is nonexistent. this could be a great game. devs should’ve waited to release this and worked out game mechanics and added more content. this feels like a project that wasn’t made with any love
