    Baladins offers a simple yet complex mechanic where players must satisfy the consuming dragon Colobra by completing missions within a six-week time limit, showcasing colorful visuals reminiscent of Paper Mario. While enjoyable for newcomers, it lacks decision variety and suffers occasional technical issues, yet remains a recommended choice for quick narrative entertainment, especially for those fluent in English.

    If all this sounds very negative, let me re-clarify that I actually really like the game. Again, the paper cut-out art style is adorable and the way the dragon and its effects use a completely different style works excellently. The world of Gatherac is full of funny little guys and, despite the child-friendly nature of the game, it also contains little comments on things like labor, misinformation, and even market regulation. I can even see what I think the developers were going for with the way you explore the world with friends, doing quests and helping each other out, but it all just doesn’t come together at the end.
