Harpy is best girl, Komone stan for life, WHERE. THE. HELL. IS. THE STORY. MODE.
A Puyo Puyo game is difficult to screw up, so like....they didn't screw it up. The game is just kind of plain though.
Take a look at Puyo Puyo Tetris. The story is clever and funny, all the characters are extremely lovable except for....Ess....eugh. AND MY GOD SCHEZO'S VOICE SOUNDS REALLY GOOOOODDDD
This game has NO story. In fact, it wasn't intended to. In Japan, this game is called Puyo Puyo Esports, and was meant for, well, Esports. And although that sounds fine for most, you gotta remember, Esports.
If you don't have Switch Online, XBOX Live, PS Plus, or the Steam version, you're flat out SCREWED. Better hope you have a friend who likes to play puzzle games, because if you don't have some extra cash, you will not get the full experience of this game.
Also JESUS CHRIST! SCHEZO....CARBUNCLE....WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU???
WHY'D THEY REPLACE THE OLD VOICE ACTORS?? (
Schezo sounds like a college student, Carbuncle went through puberty, Maguro sounds like Ecolo, speaking of Ecolo, Lemres, Feli, Klug and Ecolo are removed as playable characters all together.
Also Erica Mendez played Arle PERFECTLY. There was no reason to change Arle's VA.
Spike Spencer did an AMAZING job as Maguro and Ecolo, too. And guess what? MAGURO AND ECOLO SOUNDED NOTHING LIKE EACHOTHER. IT'S THE SAME VA. WHY DOES PPC MAGURO SOUND LIKE ECOLO- AAAAAA
BUT! Some of the voices....are really heccin' good??
Satan's (aka Dark Prince in the US version) voice in this game is a BIG step in the right direction. Xander Mobus played out Satan fine in PuyoTet. It was probably the worst performance out of all the UA voices imo. But this Satan? HE SOUNDS GOOD. HE DOESN'T CHANGE THE TONE OF HIS VOICE 50 TIMES. HE SOUNDS LIKE WHAT HE IS, A STRONG PRINCE OF DARKNESS, RULER OF PUYO HELL.
Also the new and recurring characters sound pretty good too! Fun fact, the new characters actually come from the Japanese Puyo Puyo app, Puyo Puyo Quest! I really wanna see all these characters come back in the future....and Lemres. Please bring him back. I miss him.
So, the game is just...fine. It's an average game if you're for competitive, it's only 10 dollars. Go get it. If you prefer a story, i really recommend Puyo Puyo Tetris. It is 20-30 dollars depending on system, but it is WORTH IT.
