Poker on steroids

This game has such a strong core gameplay idea that the phenomenal use of roguelike elements in the story mode combines to make a consistently enjoyable and infinetly replayable game.

There was not a second of this experience that I was not enjoying this game. A game that takes just the right ideas from its inspiration/genre of the souls franchise and combines it with an entirely fresh take on combat ideals that feel so finalized. The soundtrack is so varied and unique, yet consistently enjoyable. Please play this game.

Super Mario RPG has all the bones that would later make up Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi. With that comes with less depth in retrospect, however, the Switch version adds just the right polish to where its combat still feels good. The game's charm and dialogue has not shifted either, and remains honestly enjoyable rather than pure filler.
