We wouldn&#8217;t call it a must-play experience, but it certainly does away with some of the RPG genre&#8217;s more frustrating elements and would be ideal for anyone looking for something a little more bite-sized. Here&#8217;s a snippet of what we had to say:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;With a battle system that trades XP levelling for a purer sense of tactical planning and experimentation (albeit with an unpredictable spike difficulty), Game Freak proves that a \u2018casual\u2019 game can still have plenty of imagination, even on a smaller scale. It&#8217;s far from essential, but if you love CCG-style combat and can&#8217;t stomach another 100-hour RPG, there&#8217;s much to like in Little Town Hero.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<p>Think you might pick this one up?
