Bloomtown A different Story Xbox Review

   Bloomtown A different story is a game tossed to me by Lazy Bear Games that I feel did a terrible job showing us just how great of a game it was with its initial trailers.

The trailer does a nice job showing you the game, sure. But what is it? Well it is essentially Persona mixed with Earthbound. Your mom and dad separated and your mom sends you to stay with your grandfather for the summer because she has to work. This introduces you to the town of Bloomtown.

Quickly you will be introduced to,well the devil. He isn’t fond of the demons making more work for him basically and he books you up with your own little inner demon to go beat up other demons. You think this is a dream until you stumble on a missing kid in another dimension more or less and use your new demon powers (that you can lend to friends as well) and take it on yourselves to save this kid and others.

This is what leads you on the adventure of a lifetime. When you aren’t growing stuff on your grandfather’s little farm behind the house, trying to collect all the fish in town or solving random crossword puzzles. There are plenty of other things to fill your time when you aren’t hunting demons, saving kids or working your part time job at the local grocery store to earn money to buy replica weapons from the local pawnshop.

  Another great part of the game to me was the battle music,I found myself taking my time picking what to do next in battle just to hear the catchy pop music just a little longer. Which is a good thing because even some of the standard battles can be a bit of a challenge of you fall behind on keeping up to date on gear or simply try to rush through the game without leveling up a bit or picking up supplies. Many spells will combo with each other for extra damage and it is well worth your time to defend for being back your SP to keep those combos going.

It would also be a bad idea to forget that collecting demons even just to level up your favorites is well worth the effort.

Graphically the game is also quite nice with them having a noticeable difference between the real world and the underside which I felt was a nice touch. You will notice I haven’t spent too much time on the story and this was intentional. While there isn’t anything you probably haven’t seen here before, spoiling it wouldn’t be fair of me either as what is here is a treat. RPG fans will love this one and for the price? He game is definitely a 9/10 experience. Best wishes and may the Gaming gods bring you glory.
