YO-KAI WATCH
SCORE: 52
If you are one of those that finds the Pocket Monsters (aka Pokemon) franchise to be demonic then you are going to despise YO-KAI WATCH on the Nintendo 3DS. This is a hand held game like Pokemon. The main difference is what you capture and fight with are spirits. YO-KAI WATCH does not hide this, even though Nintendo tried to lie about it when they first announced this Level-5 developed game.
The Eastern based religious belief set of teachings is deep in YO-KAI WATCH. There is even a Buddhist temple early on in YO-KAI WATCH. The storyline in YO-KAI WATCH is very spiritual, and nothing that supports the Holy Bible either. In fact YO-KAI WATCH could be seen as part of the war on Christians. The storyline in YO-KAI WATCH makes little to no sense to me either. It is just confusing.
Players have an annoying stamina that lets them run for five minutes. You get attacked and killed if you try to cross the street against the sign. Nintendo must really hate jay-walkers. The game play in YO-KAI WATCH is very stylus based with mini interactions to charge the Soultimate attacks. Finding the demonic spirits is another boring mini game. We can also capture bugs in certain areas.
Players must search certain places to find the evil spirits in YO-KAI WATCH. The music in YO-KAI WATCH is eerie, and Nintendo actually made offensive jokes about demonic possession. I found YO-KAI WATCH to be very boring. There is an arrow to point where to go in this decently sized town. So you will never get lost. There are save spots before dangerous areas.
I don’t like YO-KAI WATCH one bit. It is offensive on so many levels. I won’t pay a dime for this game. Family Friendly Gaming rented YO-KAI WATCH, and it has been taken off our buy list because it bothered so many of us here. Avoid YO-KAI WATCH. There are so many better franchises out there on the market. Hopefully YO-KAI WATCH will wither away and die.
