Probably the best game in the 3DS library, Kid Icarus Uprising is a half on-rails shooter, half third person shooter with an extremely charming cast and story. Gameplay is excellent, with controls that are hard to grasp but work perfectly once you get used to them.

One of my favorite things of the game is the difficulty/rewards system. Playing a chapter at higher intensities gives you better rewards, that allow you to either play the chapter at the highest intensity or play later chapter at higher intensities and farm even better rewards. This creates a Monster Hunter-esque loop where you are constantly trying harder stuff for better gear.

Overall, I absolutely love this game, to the point I went and cleared each chapter on the highest difficulty, which was an insanely tough task, but also extremely rewarding.
