In order to recapture lost artifacts, the Ant Queen has encouraged teams of explorers to go out and discover their whereabouts. Long ago, the technologically superior roaches disappeared without a trace quite suddenly, and as time has progressed their existence and mechanical prowess have slipped into legend. Quests encourage the player to explore the world for unique rewards.īugaria is a land filled with bug life of all wings and walks, where insects that have achieved sentience live in uneasy harmony. Players can expect to spend at least 30 hours chasing a variety of MacGuffins through the lands of various bug tribes, while making friends and stomping enemies along the way. While exploring all the nooks and crannies of a bug-filled world, a myriad of tunes await, and the most often heard combat sound effects are on point. The use of the graphical aesthetic isn’t limited to paper, but branches out into a variety of materials natural and man-made. Early in the game a musician is unlocked who can play any of Bug Fables’ excellent music, and players may find themselves more than once jamming to her repertoire of tunes. When an indie title pays homage to a more well-known brand, the smaller game often doesn’t quite measure up, and yet Bug Fables manages to bring both solid graphics and memorable music that feel right at home on a Nintendo console, and even incorporates an achievement system, something usually left behind when a game makes a leap from PC to Switch.

Getting the obvious out of the way, Bug Fables at its core looks, sounds, and plays like Paper Mario. Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling takes the general premise of a paper-style title and builds their own unique experience.

As is so frequently the case in modern times, an indie developer has swooped in to fill the void left behind by the more mainstream title.

Introduced twenty years ago, Paper Mario captured an aesthetic and irreverence not previously found in RPGs, but the series has recently stumbled by stripping away the RPG elements that made its merging of gameplay and graphics feel unique.
