    Unlike the previous games, it is based on direct action. Its system is simple and repetitive, but also fun. The cooperative mode is a big strong point.

    A good RPG game that, despite its lack of depth in gameplay and simplicity in his history, keeps entertaining with its fun characters.

    A good diversion from the playful experience proposed by the main series.

    Although we appreciated that frantic action seen in Yo-Kai Watch Blasters, our love for the unique combat system seen in the first two episodes remains unchanged, and we hope to see it return as soon as possible in the franchise. This spin-off is a nice buy for the newcomers, though.

    A fair spin-off that could have been better if it had leaned even further into the parody that ultimately wound up just being inconsequential window dressing for gameplay that's not at all related to Ghostbusters. [Issue #37 – January/February 2019, p. 69]

    Watch Blasters has some good ideas, but it ends up feeling repetitive and wearing out a concept that could’ve pushed the series a little but further.

    Based on a strong concept, Yokai Watch Blasters is a solid game with beautiful visuals and many things to do. But the action may be chaotic at times, and the whole thing is really repetitive.

    The game is repetitive and the gameplay is too bland. Only recommended to big fans of Yo-Kai Watch.

    Each of the ten chapters has a storyline that somewhat overlaps with numerical Yo-Kai’s. But whatever the plot reason is, in the end you’ll find yourself plowing through enemies using the same two basic attacks. It’s a grind game, plain and simple – and an uninspired one at that.

    Its approach to the series remains simple and intuitive, with a good use of the 3D component. Unfortunately its tutorial segments are too long and cumbersome, the game is too blatantly based on the Ghostbusters movie license and its low level of difficulty renders the game's tactical component rather irrelevant.

    It’s not going to change the world, but it would certainly interest a tween that wants to get into RPGs.

    The game looks fantastic and has an excellent localization, but the lackluster and repetitive combat hold it back from being anything more than run-of-the-mill.

    There is undoubtedly some blasting spirit into this efficiently action oriented Yo-Kai Watch spin-off, but with such ghostly narrative, skeletal structure and overall lack of consistency, only diehard fans may be haunted by this fleshed-out multiplayer experience for long.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Whether you're a Yo-Kai Watch fan or an action roleplaying game fan, stay far away from this game. With repetitive gameplay, painful grinding mechanics, a lackluster story theme, this is a spin off game that marked the beginning of Level Five's decline in quality game design. If the boss fights interest you, I'd advise you to watch them on Youtube rather then risk the chance of gaining finger blisters. For this game requires players to pour their soul into mashing buttons repeatedly in order to dodge and defeat a single post game boss.… Full Review »

    El juego tiene un historia un tanto simple y una jugabilidad que a pesar de también tener un carácter bastante simple resulta bastanteEl juego tiene un historia un tanto simple y una jugabilidad que a pesar de también tener un carácter bastante simple resulta bastante entretenida (contando con el añadido de la dificultad que tiene de por sí el juego que para mi lo hace aún más entretenido), pero es algo mejorable.
    Sobre el final del juego, llegas a un punto en el que para conseguir los objetos y los orbes oni que necesitas requiere horas y horas de farméo, lo cuál no sería un punto negativo de no ser porque al llegar a el punto del juego que he mencionado antes, la IA de tus compañeros termina siéndote poco útil en combate y termina siendo mas recomendable el jugar con gente online... pero vamos que si no tienes gente con la que jugar, juegas con los bots de tu equipo (que seguramente te molesten mas de lo que te vayan a ayudar) y solucionado.
    Por lo demás el juego me encanta,, es uno de los juegos a los que mas he jugado en toda mi vida y a los que mas sigo jugando a día de hoy.
