![]() However, one main problem is that, for whatever reason, you can't view your deck in its entirety. Near the mid-game, you can also add special single-use cards from clubhouses. This gives you a lot of variety in terms of squad building, as you can mix and match Ooblets to craft a deck that can cover each other's weaknesses. Once they reach Level 6, all three of their signature cards will be unlocked. Where Ooblets come into play is that each one comes with signature cards that are added to your common deck. Earn a set number of points before your opponent does, or have a higher point total by the end of a match, and you win. Every turn you draw cards and play them by using beats as a resource, with higher-value cards awarding more points. The basic concept is easy enough to understand. Where the game falls short is in the card battles, which could use more refinement and offer more control in deck-building. Battles are a solemn oobligation Most dance battles are way too easy with hype, fluster, and cards that steal points. While having to review a game like this by a set embargo date isn't exactly conducive to chillaxing, I still found moments to settle down and not try to wring out the clock for every last second until bedtime. The game doesn't take itself seriously and openly tells you to take your time. But Ooblets largely gets away with this by being lighthearted and witty, making self-effacing, observational, tongue-in-cheek jokes. ![]() Even NPC interaction is simpler as there are no romance options or involved relationship-based cutscenes. The small set of tools and crops makes farming easier here than in Stardew Valley. Whatever you choose to do, the game will usually award you with experience points for it after you head to bed. By the dock, you can "reconstitoot" useless items into slurry that can be used to make fishing bait, which will get you random resources from the ocean. Or if you're running out of energy, you can eat food or take a short nap. If you have the extra energy, you can gather more resources by shaking trees, foraging mushrooms, collecting seashells, and accepting minor objectives at the Wildlands. Get used to Meed’s Seeds as you’ll be coming here often for crop starters. Over time, your "frenz" will award you friendship stickers along with bonus resources just for hanging out. Speaking with most of the residents in Badgetown and occasionally completing personal quests for them will net you friendship points. After watering your crops over several days, you can sell them back in stores or in bulk at Penny's for extra gummies so you can buy more seeds at Meed's, clothing at Kibbonbon's, or furniture at Manatwee's.īeyond farming chores, there's plenty to do around the small, offbeat town. Clearing rocks, weeds, and logs will earn you nurnies and planklets as well as open farmland to plant muz, sweetiebeeties, caroots, and more. Like Stardew Valley, you have a limited amount of time and energy to complete your daily tasks. It will likely take you several in-game days to get your bearings, if just to get all the names of things sorted. In exchange for her assistance, she asks that you help her restore Badgetown's former glory in the eyes of the Ooblet High Council. She recommends that you swiftly join one of four Ooblet clubs - Peaksnubs, Frunbuns, Mimpins, or Frunbuns - which decides your starter monster. You travel by boat to the mainland of Oob, where the cheerful Mayor Tinstle, surprised at both your poverty and lack of knowledge of Ooblets, gifts you a ramshackle farmhouse. Like many farming sims, you start off as a nobody with no money and no skills, hoping to start a new life away from your stuffy hometown. With developer Glumberland finally ready to release version 1.0 of Ooblets, does it live up to its potential or buckle under the weight of carrying multiple genres at once? You're just a nooblet Removing all the weeds, rocks, and logs will give open farmland to till, plant, and water crops. So if this review starts reading like the Rick and Morty commercial for a Plumbus, that's by design. The names of the crops, items, and Ooblet monsters sound like something Dan Harmon might come up with. The game's unusual humor, music, and art fit somewhere between the more chill vibes of Animal Crossing and the mellower side of Katamari Damacy. Even in its unfinished state, the game was lauded for its quirky style and its strange blend of genres: a farm simulator with monster collecting and card-based dance battles. Ooblets will be familiar to anyone who read impressions of this kooky indie title when it released in early access on Xbox One and PC in July 2020.
