    Our 11 year old enjoys this game! Miss the good old days of $40 for a new game, but we got the bonus berry pack.

    Since my favorite color is purple, the Violet vs Scarlet decision was easy for me. Love the customization of the game. I love the animation style. Highly recommend this game!

    Good game. Interesting plot but nothing like the old games. Still fun but starters are hideous. All of em. Just butt ugly. Like zero effort put into design at all.

    Pretty buggy and lack of substantial updates aside from the expansions which just expands on a buggy game foundation.
