Twinkle Crusaders GoGo!

About

Twinkle Crusaders GoGo! is a side scrolling action game where players guide a cast of eccentric characters through a fantasy world filled with magical battles and quirky dialogue. Combat focuses on real time melee attacks and special moves while exploring towns and dungeons to complete missions. Character progression involves collecting gear and leveling up abilities to tackle increasingly tough enemies. The story follows a group of adventurers on a mission to recover stolen relics though the plot takes a backseat to the gameplay mechanics. The game stands out for its over the top personalities and bright art style which leans into the absurdity of its premise. Based on a Japanese light novel series it appeals to fans of offbeat fantasy with a 72% critic score on Metacritic. While some find the difficulty curve steep and the visuals dated by modern standards its cult following praises the energetic combat and character customization options. Originally a PSP exclusive it saw ports to PC and mobile platforms in later years.
