Its the one of two Paper Marios to have the simple yet straightforward actual RPG fights with no gimmicks and crap. Speaking as a TTYD fan and played said game as my first foray into this series, I think this game is great in its own way. The tone and aesthetics seems to be taken from [Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island] a lot, notwithstanding chapter 5. Everything feels goofy from start to finish, helped by the fact that Bowser's portrayal is balanced between threatening and hilarious. The gameplay is still good despite its limitations and how crap inputs are. I went for 100% as this game is really great despite how aged it is. Doubly so from how un-ergonomic the N64 controller is.
In only the first session that I played this I already thought this would be one of my favorite games.
First of all, I think the writing is good, despite so many people say its cringe. Probably biased because of the other works some of the writers done. That said, the aesthetics, music, and the gameplay excels. I love the concept of a speedrun oriented fps/puzzler and how its implemented is nearly perfect here.

A simple, charming, yet still compelling rougelike. I love how the game really pushes the idea of using dice rolls to use attacks. Its the game that gave me the idea to use the threadmill while playing because its that addicting for me to do runs. A high recommend especially for turn-based rpg fans.
