Moco Moco Friends
SCORE: 67
Family Friendly Gaming was recently provided a download code for Moco
Moco Friends on the Nintendo 3DS. There is also a physical copy version
of Moco Moco Friends for sale at retail. I miss the days when physical
copies were sent out to media outlets. Moco Moco Friends is a role
playing game in an unique fantasy world. I think of Moco Moco Friends as
a Pokemon lite.
Moco Moco Friends has bright colors, and happy music. Some might even
describe Moco Moco Friends as a cutesy Pokemon clone. Since the
creatures we make contracts with are plushkins. They look like stuffed
animals in many cases. There are Japanese sound bytes and plenty of
humor from that country. Gamers can even fast forward attacks in the
battles.
The good characters in Moco Moco Friends are witches. Which is where the
super majority of Americans are going to have a problem. Why? The super
majority of Americans see witches as evil. Does that mean Moco Moco
Friends is trying to be a part of the heinous redefinitionists movement?
I don't know the intent for sure. I just know it will make Moco Moco
Friends controversial.
Speaking of controversy, Moco Moco Friends stepped in it a second time.
It has the highly divisive and controversial evolution word and concept.
So many Americans avoid any and all entertainment that promotes and/or
encourages the religious belief of evolution. Moco Moco Friends could
have reached so many more if the developer and/or translator had found a
more inclusive word to use. The same goes with taking something evil
like witches and trying to promote them as good.
What are we fighting against in Moco Moco Friends? Wild plushkins will
attack the player. Which is why players need plushkins on their side to
fight for them. There is also bad thoughts that torment the plushkins.
Dream power is what players fight torment power with. Bad thoughts are
what Moco Moco Friends is against. Chapters and dungeons are short in
Moco Moco Friends. Players earn fame points from completing missions.
Pluskins of the same type can be merged together to gain levels.
There are some shining bright points in Moco Moco Friends. Sewing, and
gardening are those bright shining points for me. There are plenty of
food references, and a giant plushkin dog that is worried about losing
all its fur. On the bad side there is magic, and violent content within
Moco Moco Friends on the Nintendo 3DS. Certain characters are showing
off skin, so if that bothers you please be aware it is in this game.
