    Despite its sometimes-slow battles (which honestly do speed up a bit once you gain a few levels and learn how to use your skills efficiently), Attack the Light is a solid, budget-priced RPG that gets by on its own merits regardless of how much you know about Steven Universe.

    This charming game is a near-perfect mobile RPG experience, even if you aren't familiar with Steven Universe.

    It is quite rare for an mobile game, especially one based on a TV show to be as good as this. Steven Universe: Attack the Light drawsIt is quite rare for an mobile game, especially one based on a TV show to be as good as this. Steven Universe: Attack the Light draws inspiration from RPGs such as the Mario and Luigi series, of which the turn based combat is highly involved with blocking enemies' attacks and timing your own attacks. Along the way, you can level up your characters and upgrade their attacks and equip them with badges.

    The enemies are nicely varied and the worlds are simple and vibrant, which quite suits the style of the show. This game changes the combat with a star meter which accounts for the amount of points you can use per turn (maximum of nine) with each turn starting with five. Though not ground-breaking, it allows players to be more involved and economical in strategizing which moves to use. This is a great starting game for younger gamers or those who want to delve in games of the RPG genre.

    The story isn't anything spectacular, but the game has a slew of references of the show that made me chuckle. It's not too long, but it's great fun and pretty cheap for what it is.
