Guardian Tales

The most important thing to know about Guardian Tales is that you'll only get out what you put into it. If you only want to work through the main story, you can just ignore all the other options and play through. But on the other hand, those looking for a deep and engaging experience will also feel right at home with this game. There is a ton of content here, which may intimidate some gamers at first, but don't let that dissuade you – Guardian Tales is a thoroughly enjoyable time.

While its gacha game essence and free-to-play screens may be irksome, the story and gameplay are spot on

When playing Guardian Tales, one can't help but wonder if a cute Link To The Past-style single-player game without all the gacha incentives would've been better, especially now that the title is on Switch. Still, personal preferences aside, Guardian Tales is a lot of fun. The gameplay, art style, and quirky characters are all highlights.
