Laid-back types can conserve their magic power for weaker versions of spells, or get focused for stronger ones. Energetic types have moves that replenish the teamвЂ™s magic, as well as a strong attack that causes a ton of damage all at once, but also recoils onto your character. Varied personality types, zany job classes and Mii relationships make the relatively average and straightforward combat a unique treat.Д®ach personality type has a specific attitude and move set within combat. When one Mii passes out in combat, a nearby Mii goes into a fit of vengeful rage. For example, instead of poison, spiders are thrown at you. YouвЂ™re not going to see typical status effects here. The meat of the game, however, isnвЂ™t the story-itвЂ™s the customizable experience and the drop-in, drop-out gameplay that makes it worth the investment.Д¬ombat is typical, run-of-the-mill turn-based RPG gameplay, but what makes it special are the weird and goofy quirks thrown in. All the faces of the people residing in the kingdom have been stolen, and you must recover those faces by defeating the monsters wearing them. YouвЂ™re on a quest to stop the Dark Lord, played by a Mii of your choosing. You choose friends from your Mii stash on your 3DS, import them from Miitomo or Tomodachi Life, or create them in the game and cast them in your party and other various roles to be played throughout the story.

Instead of choosing from a static pre-designed character, the player has control over who plays what in their story. Instead, itвЂ™s a very simplified RPG that doesnвЂ™t take itself too seriously, leaping beyond typical tropes, and offering a taste of NintendoвЂ™s wobbly, bobbly Mii caricatures in an almost-parody of traditional RPGs. ItвЂ™s not quite as storybook and fantastical as RPGs tend to be, but also not quite as gooby and artificial as puppet shows are, either. Note how great the Animal Crossing ones are.Miitopia is somewhere between a choose-your-own-adventure and puppet show. This isnвЂ™t all the Amiibo costumes available but hereвЂ™s a list of all the ones I managed to unlock last night with the Amiibo I physically own. Like if you select SamusвЂ™ suit from Metroid, you can choose to open and close the visor. WhereвЂ™s Wario?ДЄnywho, there is still a ridiculous wealth of them, some with cool features. Yoshi has eight different colors of costume. I unlocked five different Splatoon costumes. Interestingly, Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy and Toad all gave me outfits but Wario and Waluigi didnвЂ™t? Bowser has a costume. I didnвЂ™t expect my imported Monster Hunter Amiibo to do anything, or the Shovel Knight ones, or heck, even the Pokemon ones. What surprised me were the ones that didnвЂ™t. And I showed her about 70 yesterday and found a lot of them unlock a ton of costumes. When I speak to Miyamoto, вЂњsheвЂќ gushes on about Amiibos before asking if I can show her any.

Tucked away in Miitopia is a Nintendo Fan character and, despite it insisting on only using female pronouns, I absolutely had to make mine Miyamoto.
