Little Town Hero
SCORE: 59
Putting all the makeup in the world on a
pig does not change its animal status. That is how I feel about Little
Town Hero on the Nintendo Switch. Family Friendly Gaming purchased the
Big Idea Edition with all kinds of extras. This game comes from Game
Freaks. The same company that makes the Pokemon video games. Little Town
Hero has a music collaboration with Hitomi Sato and Toby Fox. I was so
excited to play Little Town Hero on the Nintendo Switch.

really comes down to luck of the ideas you get. Expect battles in Little
Town Hero to take forever. We get ideas and they can do things like
damage the characters hearts or they are cards that battle. I did notice
the computer cheats with the battle system. They would have cards
similar to mine and be able to attack even when they should have no
battle points left.
If the card kind of battling was not obnoxious enough in Little Town
Hero we do it on a board. We do laps on this board where we can hit
certain spaces and get support from other characters. These can be very
helpful if they randomize in a way that helps the player. Little Town
Hero frustrated me to end because it was all so random. At least in most
card battling video games we can build a better deck and work toward
easy wins.
Little Town Hero feels so small on so many fronts. The storyline makes
little sense. A young man who has a rival wants to leave town. He is not
allowed to. So he wants to get into the castle to get permission to
leave. He spends to much time trying to break into the castle. He
disobeys some rules and obeys others. Playing a mischievous brat did not
really connect with me. Younger gamers hate the complex battle system.
So who is the target audience?
Little Town Hero had so much potential. The lame battle system that is
actually broken is the reason this game is such a flop. The issues
families will have are violence, lack of attire, enticement to lust,
alcohol, tobacco, and more. I wanted to like this game so much. After
playing Little Town Hero I never want to see it again. Maybe when I do
an all break I should be able to attack their hearts. That would speed
up this game. A two player mode would have been nice too.
