Just finished: MapleStory 3DS: The Girl of Destiny

I liked it. Like the name suggests, it's a spinoff of the MMO, with pretty similar sidescrolling/platforming action RPG elements, but imo it works so much better as a single-player campaign on a 3DS than as a grindy PC MMO. Very much unlike the MMO, there's effectively no grinding at all; just defeating the monsters in my way as I explore the levels gives enough exp to progress albeit with fairly challenging boss battles. Compared to what I remember from playing the MMO like a decade ago, this game's character has a unique skill set unlike any of its classes with better animations and tighter platforming controls, and most of this game's areas are based on the same style/themes/music as the MMO but without directly reusing the same levels and with a couple unique worlds.

This game doesn't even have an English release: it's originally Korean and only officially translated to Japanese, but I found out it has a complete English fan-translation so I played that since I installed homebrew on my 3DS. It's pretty much the only worthwhile 3DS fan-translation because the others either are nowhere close to done or of games that have an official English release

I'm assuming (and hoping and praying) it's better than Brap of the Wild.

i'm not so bothered by digital games if physical versions are (practically) unavailable lol, sometimes it's nonsensical to insist on a physical copy if you're only interested in playing and not specifically collecting

of course i still prefer physical releases but there are always reasonable exceptions, pricing and availability chief among them

I actually wasn't even aware Hollow Knight had a physical print. Had I expressed in specifically getting a physical copy before?

anyway, ty for the recommendation and verifying that it's good, it's moved up a few spots in my steam wishlist
