Rock paper scissors, the RPG
I played this on my DS as a young kid. I had a lot of Pokemon knockoff games but never any actual Pokemon games. This was one of them, along with Digimon. I really enjoyed this as a kid, probably because it was pretty much Pokemon but with dinosaurs. Who didn't love collecting dinosaurs and learning everything there was to know about them as a kid? Also, I thought the game itself was really fun. From what I can remember, the gameplay loop of digging up dinosaur fossils, brushing them, teaching your dinosaurs new moves, the simple rock-paper-scissors combat system that perfectly complemented my young small brain, exploring the map, and more was really exciting for the young version of me, making for a really memorable experience. I even watched the show on TV.
The game is relatively slow for a JRPG due to the odd battle system choice. Instead of having a moveset to choose from, the player must battle against enemies in a game of rock-paper-scissors to progress through the game and get new dinosaurs.
Fate/Extra
Por mais que esse jogo tenha ótimas animações de ataque, a mecânica principal do combate ser baseada em pedra, papel e tesoura deixa o jogo muito monótono, não tendo muita estratégia nos combates e além disso o próprio inimigo dá dicas do que ele vai jogar falando coisas como "eu vou usar a mesma ultima coisa que você escolheu" "eu não usarei o mesmo movimento de novo" "continuarei com a mesma estratégia" isso faz com que seja muito fácil prever oque o inimigo vai jogar e usar o movimento forte contra ele.
