Bug Fables, The Fantastic Paper Mario-Like RPG, Gets Surprise Anniversary Update

been wanting try this for a while, this has reminded me to pick it up

Have this sitting in my library for a while, never started because I heard it was hard. Maybe this update adds some ease. Will consider it more now!

Oh this is one one the best indie games ever to me, and I'd been debating for a while whether to buy it for the Switch even though I already played it on the PS4. I guess this update is the excuse I needed to do that and do another playthrough.

@silver-crescent It's definitely one of the best indies ever. It fits in that category of games I like so much, I'll double dip in a heartbeat. Will probably now get it on Steam since I haven't played it since it came out on Switch.

I hope the update got rid of all the bugs in the game.

🤤

@Erigen you kidding? If they fix all the bugs the game would be unplayable! 😉

I should probably give this another try sometime. I tried it back when it first came out and couldn't develop a taste for it at all.

I need to go back to this game too

I ended up dropping it about 5 hours in. Charming game, but I just didn't enjoy the battle and leveling systems or something.
Lol it's been a while so I forget.

I've been putting off a 2nd playthrough for a while how lucky that turned out to be.

Incredible game. The art style looks a bit too amateurish to me, but other than that, it's pretty much flawless. A fantastic Paper Mario-like with tons of new ideas that pretty much all work.

Loved this game. Was able to get the Physical edition from Limited Run Games.

Thanks for reminding me I actually need to beat it 😅

I’ve had this on my backlog for a while. Since I’ve stopped playing most live-service games I’ve been steaming through games, though. I’ll probably finally play this during the winter.

That said, I’m guessing this is a sign that a sequel/successor is far in development and they wanted to bring some of the easy-to-implement features over to the original. Just a guess, but very cool and I’m excited to finally play it.

I like the story, the style, the combat, the dialogue is very funny, but I got stuck a few times not knowing where to go and with no indication whatsoever. Then you have to backtrack and talk to everyone in the hopes of finding out where to go.
3rd time this happened I dropped the game, but I'll try again now, it is very good besides that

Good game, despite it not wowing me as much as the first five Paper Mario games.

I'll check this update out later, though.

@Altaria_97 Moonsprout's current project isn't a sequel to Bug Fables. I believe they've indicated they want to do one following a new cast of characters in a different setting down the line, but from what little we do know about their next game, it's an RPG with (at least some) human characters. And it's apparently a radical enough departure that they don't think the established Bug Fables fanbase is likely to carry over, so they're concerned about trying to cultivate an audience that'll support the game and allow it to succeed.

This game was great. I really enjoyed everything about it. Difficulty was just right sometimes pretty tough and sometimes I felt like putting that badge on that made the game harder. The humor was amazing and I loved the cast of playable characters. I definitely see myself replaying it when my backlog is clearer than it is now.
