    Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling, while a direct inspiration from the Paper Mario franchise, definitely has something to offer all on its own. The gameplay may become clunky or tedious at times, but more than makes up for it with its very cute environments to explore or charming characters to interact with. Players that loved Paper Mario and similar styled games will absolutely find something to love about this game.

    Bright, bold and colourful. Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling adds another dimension to turn-based battles and brings platforming, puzzles and heart to a worthwhile adventure. The art-style was not to my taste but it fits the subject matter perfectly. There is a lot of game here for your money, especially if you want to see it all. Now bug off and get tucked into the game.

    Bug Fables is a great ARPG inspired in no small part by the Paper Mario games. It's really rather good.

    One of the issues that people have with some of the more recent Mario RPG titles is that they've become gimmicky and rather shallow as a consequence. Bug Fables is nowhere near as refined as Nintendo's efforts, but they also represent a back-to-basics approach to the mechanics and structure of these games. For many people that will be appealing, and Bug Fables is indeed an appealing effort by a small team. It would be great to see the team come back with something a little more refined with a second outing.

    An extremely charming game for people that like the classic Paper Mario games. Great humor, characters, and a nifty medal system.

Characters areIf you enjoy paper Mario and don't mind an art style that Is super indie then this game is what you're looking for. Characters are surprisingly interesting and the combat (while having small numbers) can be pretty in depth. One of my favorite games of the year so far. Would highly recommend, hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.… Expand

    This is all that thousand year door fans hope's for, another game with that mechanic. Nintendo refuses to include new characters in spin offsThis is all that thousand year door fans hope's for, another game with that mechanic. Nintendo refuses to include new characters in spin offs and they want try new things in each game but the thing is you don't need to tear off something that is good mechanical wise, just use the same mechanic from old game that succeed an add new stories. It is the same deal with Pokemon, the future of gaming will not be on the ones showing more innovation but in the ones who listen to their audience… Expand

    Solid game all around. Everything in the game is above average to great and really does a good job in all the right places. Even the puzzlesSolid game all around. Everything in the game is above average to great and really does a good job in all the right places. Even the puzzles aren’t terribly bad or overly difficult. I’ve seen some players complain about them because of the controls, but I’ve not had issues with any of them. Discovering areas with new power-ups is also a big plus to me. The story and music are both solid, combat is much like Paper Mario/Legend of Dragoon with inputs. Lots of side content that is done really well. I definitely recommend this game for any RPG, play former fans. Especially Paper Mario fans.… Expand

Has so many options, and the various skills each member can learn are unique. The bounty hunts are by far my favorite part of the game, as they are frantic as all heck. The button imputs are the only downside, as sometimes the response time for some of these attack commands are delayed. Other than that, a solid game!… Expand
