Game pageBug Fables: a bug-team adventure worth taking detours for
Even between destinations, you want to hear the party talk. Bug Fables makes travel feel like joining an insect expedition; players describe banter turning companions into friends.
Combat offers the pleasure of choosing medals and deciding how to use your companions. Beyond its cute appearance, it suits players who want to test their own tactics.
What makes it fun
Your party has something to say
Your companions comment on places you pass and people you stand beside. Their remarks even touch on a local's clothes or work, giving you a reason to stop and listen.
Shape party roles with Medals
A Medal build can make Vi an attacker who uses poison and Kabbu a defender. Changing the equipment lets the same party fight in a different way.
Keep your hands in the fight
Action Commands can strengthen attacks in turn-based battles. Different moves call for different timing, so a newly learned move gives you an input to get used to.
