The normal difficulty offers a perfect blend of juggling gathering ingredients, making friends, wooing cuties, and still finding time to open your shop and make some bank. The time management, simple haggling card game and the potion cooking system all complement each other nicely.
If you enjoy this game and are hungry for more, check out the Atelier series of games! (I recommend Sophie 2, Shallie, or Escha & Logy)

I won with a backpack full of squirrels and rats, as nature intended.
Great for low brain power fun or being more awake and trying to build fun synergies.

All the best parts of city builders, but it ends and you win before it gets dreary.
Moody and sombre music and a fun world setting of endless rain and fantasy ancestries.
Overall a good, relatively low-stress game - though you can crank the difficulty up or go for greedier scenarios!

If you like DDR games and/or roguelikes, you owe it to yourself to play this game.
Dance yourself to death with all of the ingenious movement options - learn your foe's dance patterns to defeat them, plus tricky dance moves to avoid things like fire breath and multi-foot(or finger) combos to cast spells. Yes, it supports a real dance pad as well as a keyboard.
Plus, y'know, many characters with different gimmicks, much loot and permanent unlocks for later runs.

If you ever wanted to make a game, especially a classic perspective RPG, a platformer, 3D or even the next Binding of Isaac, this is for you. It's pretty good - I've been using the original (Engine 001) for years.

You feel really smart figuring these logic puzzles out plus the UI is really calming.
Best with some chocolate and a sweet drink with a slight breeze.

The most fun co-op gameplay I've had in a long time.
Sci-fi tower and maze building which then transitions into an FPS where you run around your constructions pew-pewing the incoming hordes. They all have certain weakpoints and tower vulnerabilities.

A bunch of towers, perks, weapons etc. to unlock. Lots of multiplayer silliness like rocket jumping, goomba stomping and unique abilities for each character like the last shot in the clip does 8x damage or super speed double jumping.

Yes, it has hardcore mode as well as never-ending survival mode and campaign.

The silly text-to-speech from the first one is still there, but there is in-built push-to-talk now too. It's probably even prettier than the first game --- but it does scale down well for below-average machines.

The soundtrack is fairly similar to the first, which was pretty awesome.

Buy it and come play with me!

Do you like randomly generated dungeons full of randomly generated loot?
Do you like the ability to pick your skills and make any combination of Fighter, Mage and/or Rogue?
Do you like humourous references and silliness mixed with permadeath making every game a mix of levity and tense combat?

Buy this already!
Best character so far: an enchanted kilt-wearing women dual-wielding staffs who was (RIP) a master Battle Geologist.
