    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A somewhat entertaining diversion that feels like they tried to build an actual game up around the Tomodachi Life concept, but sadly features neither the breadth of random whimsical occurrences of that game, nor the depth or challenge of a proper RPG. Only being allowed input on the actions of your player character in battle speeds things along, but leaves the rest up to your team's AI; which handles about half of the 12 (plus 2 hidden) available classes with surprising elegance and the other half with unrepentant stupidity.

    The game and its demo open on a strong note, and held my interest for longer than I thought it would with the concept. Unfortunately it will have started pronouncedly dragging its heels by the THIRD time you've built up and then lost your party due to a recurring plot device. There is a postgame, and over 200 "medals" (achievements) to collect, but next to no incentive whatsoever to pursue them.

    I did have fun with it, I had some genuine laughs, and I'd recommend checking out the demo if you're curious. Unfortunately, the asking price of $40 USD is entirely too much for what you get and I'd strongly recommend waiting on a sale if it does happen to pique your interest.    … Expand

    At first, the game is pretty addicting and charming, offering a steady stream of new content and memorable moments - though before too long the repetitive nature of the game really begins to kick in. It's certainly a decent game, one perfect for playing in short bursts in the background, though it's debatable whether it's worth the full $40 pricetag.

    Miitopia is good at being an entertaining game, as well as a great place to get kids started on the RPG genre.

But the lack of a higher difficulty level for older players as well as the fact that the game goes on long enough to run itself right into the ground makes me feel that this is a game I can’t recommend buying at full price. If you’re really interested in the game, the free demo on the 3DS eShop is a great way to check out the opening act and see if the game is for you, because trust me, it’s all the same from then on out.… Expand

    Да, я её не допрошёл! Но простите меня, я наиграл 24 часа. И вот что могу сказать. Игра увлекательна, но быстро надоедает, ибо почти ничего интересного не предлагает. Вместо этого она воспринимается как какая-то рутина. Детям подойдёт. Взрослым даже не стоит тратить на неё время    [RU]

    The absolute worst thing about Miitopia is the fact you cannot control your other party members, which means they WILL do stupid things like using up valuable food just before reaching an Inn, or not healing during a boss battle. Miitopia would be so much better if you had direct control of all your party members, and the new switch version will have the exact same problems.

    Miitopia is fun, addictive, albiet silly RPG. Similar to Tomodachi Life, you don't have much control over the gameplay besides your main character, so most battles come down to pure luck rather than strategy. However, the game is all about its charm, which comes from being able to make any character what you want them to be.

It's so funny to see King Nicolas Cage get his face stolen from the Dark Lord Tommy Wiseau. This game hardly takes itself seriously, being a more lighthearted and goofy take on the RPG genre, so if you're expecting anything more, you won't like it. The game offers over 20 hours of gameplay, so it often pads itself out for a bit too long, and the jokes and gags can wear thin after a while, but overall, Miitopia is a fun and pleasant experience that doesn't break any new ground, and certainly isn't worth the $40 price tag, but I would recommend you try it out.

    I write reviews based on my experiences with a a game, not how much I think someone else would enjoy it. And I love this game. The game itself is bland and lifeless, but every character being made by you allows you to make your own ridiculous world and watch its story unfurl. And that's magical. Of course, the combat is awful and the story is eh, but again; it's a game that YOU make fun,I write reviews based on my experiences with a a game, not how much I think someone else would enjoy it.

But first let's focus on the good -- I downloaded the demo first, thinking I would not really enjoy it. But I was quickly hooked. Being able to visualize myself on an epic quest, alongside my closest friends and whichever Miis I decided to make, was far more of a delight than I would have anticipated. Playing alongside Miis of my friends, watching the interactions amongst them and being able to power them up and whatnot - this game was funny, heartwarming, and engaging all at the same time. I even made Miis of people like Snoop Dogg, Bernie Sanders, and Albert Einsten to fight alongside me as we took on the evil Trump. HA!
    The game does get repetitive, yes. Horribly so. So while things can get a bit boring at times, the uniqueness of my characters coming alive is what truly kept me in the game. Fun all around!    … Expand

    While it does have its flaws of being repetitive, I found myself constantly picking it up every night before bed and just powering through sections at a time because it was just a blast to play. Miitopia isn't going to turn heads, nor grab the hardcore RPGamer crowd, but it's a fun little romp for those who want a much more compact and simple RPG experience.

    Player’s impact is limited in Miitopia, as you rather watch the gameplay than participate in it. Despite that the game is never dull, just like similar Tomodachi Life a couple of years ago. The difference is that Tomodachi Life was genuinely funny in an absurd way, whereas Miitopia often made me smile but never caused a burst of laughter. [11/2017, p.52]

    I really, *really* enjoyed Miitopia, when I fully expected not to. It’s so self-aware, leading to some fantastic moments in the game. But most of all, it’s an RPG adventure that’s basically tailor made for you. I had a blast exploring Miitopia with my friends, seeing interactions that would never happen in real life, and saving the world from the evil Vook. Even if you think you might not like it, I highly encourage playing the demo. If you enjoyed that, the full game is so much better.
