The fact that this is probably one of the best uses of the IP nowadays is worrisome, to say the least. It's not the worst gacha in existence, but it is a gacha, and an expensive one at that. Every day playing it is a test of resilience against exploitation of FOMO.

However, not only does it tell genuinely good stories with the characters from the franchise -- within the boundaries of what is acceptable for a kids' game, of course -- but it offers one of the most exciting and challenging single player experiences in the history of the franchise. And of course, it has banger remixes of tracks from the games, as well as stellar character designs.

I keep playing it, hoping it will never piss me off enough that I have to quit.
