Much of the game’s events are randomised or at least have an element of random chance in them Waluigi may find something shiny on the ground, Madeline from Celeste might tell the group a scary story, or Diglett may appropriately fall down a hole in the ground for the third time. These form naturally over time but you can help things along by placing them in the same room as one another in one of the seemingly limitless inns you encounter at the end of each stage, or sending them out on a little trip to the seaside, the cinema, or one of the many other wholesome activities. A friend might warn another of an impending attack, join forces with them to deal additional damage, or even console them when they’ve taken a hit. What’s more, the relationships you form in your team have an enormous impact on how they fight. A stubborn character might get frustrated and attack twice in a row to prove their worth. A cautious character might wait until everyone else has attacked before they do, granting them a damage bonus, while a kind character might jump in the way of a teammate to take the brunt of a hit. Each character will also have a personality (chosen by you) that gives them various buffs or additional abilities outside of their job description. It’s simple on the surface but it’s a notable little wrinkle that allows you to turn the tide of more challenging battles. This allows you to pull one of your team out of the fight to heal, recover from status effects, or simply to survive. What is nice about Miitopia’s combat, however, is the 'Safe Spot' system. The AI does a decent job of doing the right thing at the right time, but it does prevent you from planning anything too interesting we wouldn’t go so far as to call it boring, but a bit more tactical control would have been nice. The combat system is a little on the basic side you only control your hero character and the others are controlled for you. You’ll form a band of various characters (and a horse) with various jobs to explore distant lands and defeat creatures wearing the faces of the local population. And if you’re not a creative type or the whole thing smacks of too much effort, you can also download other people’s creations using Nintendo Switch Online, so you too can have CD-i Ganon fawning over his partner Gex.īut a character creation suite to rival Adobe is nothing without something to do with your creations, so how does the game actually play? Well, if you’d been paying attention in the opening paragraph you’d know that this is an RPG – a turn-based one, to be precise. You don’t have total freedom, of course you still can’t erase noses and have to try and hide them somewhere as best you can, but even with that taken into account we’re fairly sure you could recreate any person or character you can imagine, fictitious or real. This system is powerful, too we ourselves were able to create a Mii that didn’t look entirely unlike Kazooie from Banjo-Kazooie, as well as many other characters from Nintendo’s repertoire and far, far beyond. Despite what marketing suggests, you don’t have to settle on just giving your sister blusher or your boyfriend come-to-bed eyelashes people already have been creating a staggering number of incredible Miis representing just about anyone and anything you can imagine. This time, however, Nintendo has unlocked a proverbial Pandora’s box of potential with the new makeup system. The original 3DS version of Miitopia had a fairly standard Mii creation system that you’d be instantly familiar with if you’ve used one on any of Nintendo’s systems after the Wii.
