Twisted Fusion Wii U Game Review

<p><em>Twisted Fusion<&sol;em> for the Wii U was a Kickstarter campaign that became a wonderful reality&period; <a href&equals;"http&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;leuvsion&period;com&sol;"><strong>Leuvsion<&sol;strong> <&sol;a>developed and published a game that is an enjoyable RPG which relies heavily on exploration&period; Players are in the shoes of a level-headed girl named Cora&period; She and her friends plan on playing with water guns in their neighborhood when they are mysteriously transported into a magical world of Evan&period; This new world is charming in itself&period; Calming music and bright colors envelope the very essence of the story&period; In this realm various monsters&comma; ranging from adorable to scary&comma; are weak against water&period; Water is an element that is rather scarce in Evan so this makes Cora and her friends&&num;8217&semi; water guns extra special&period; They soon meet some strange looking locals who want to help the girls make it back home&period; And after learning the need to collect Sacred Sunstones to create the portal to take the friends back home&comma; they set out on their journey&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<figure id&equals;"attachment&lowbar;114657" aria-describedby&equals;"caption-attachment-114657" style&equals;"width&colon;

smart phones are usable in Evan which is composed of natural landscapes&period; Players have full access to the smartphone via the Wii U gamepad&period; The developers created the ability to switch the main screen between the TV and the gamepad very easy to use&period; When you are playing on the TV screen&comma; the gamepad literally becomes Cora&&num;8217&semi;s phone&period; There are helpful apps that are not only essential to play through the game&comma; but the apps are also fun to use&period; One in particular is the Difficulty SlideBar&period; This allows you set the monster difficulty at any time to increase the drops defeated monsters leave behind or to lessen the challenge of the fight&period; Since <em>Twisted Fusion<&sol;em> is an open-world game&comma; players should take their time to gradually explore every nook and earn coins to upgrade stats at a comfortable pace&period; Gamers&&num;8217&semi; individual playstyle were taken into consideration with the addition of the Difficulty SlideBar and the choices in stats upgrades&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<figure id&equals;"attachment&lowbar;114655" aria-describedby&equals;"caption-attachment-114655" style&equals;"width&colon;

the potency of her watergun and even buy abilities like the use of a jetpack&period; The jetpack has to be my favorite purchased ability because it lets the character fly around obstacles without needing to buy or find fuel&period; The jetpack automatically refills&sol; recharges after a quick landing&period; Since players are expected to explore for extensive periods at a time&comma; the maintenance-free jetpack is a relief to not have to worry about finding fuel while trying to find new discoveries&period; Instead of having to visit a store in village to purchase upgrades like in traditional RPGS&comma; <em>Twisted Fusion<&sol;em> gives players a flexible option of upgrading whenever you have the coins to do so at any time&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The smartphone app system also includes a way to hatch and train monsters you collect on your journey&period; The monsters can form teams and certain types work better together than others&period;  This is such a neat concept &lpar;especially for Pokémon trainers&rpar; yet the game and the game&&num;8217&semi;s manual falls short of explaining it easily&period; Trial and error is one way to learn the Monster-Team System until players begin creating tutorial videos or forums on various websites&period; Unfortunately&comma; it becomes frustrating trying to figure out which monsters work well with others until a large collection is gathered&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<figure id&equals;"attachment&lowbar;114658" aria-describedby&equals;"caption-attachment-114658" style&equals;"width&colon;

various NPCs will ask your chosen character to help by accepting a quest&period; These quests range from collecting fruits to hunting specific monsters&period; And the rewards are given as coins which are desperately needed to purchase abilities and upgrade them&period; Obtaining extra playable characters and outfits require special currency which are obtained by helping a specific creature&comma; called Go Go&comma; throughout your journey&period; There are 55 of these critters in need of rescuing and are found in the outside environments in addition to the dungeoneering towers&period;
