In fact, battles themselves are often the literal fruit of your labor on your farm. Thankfully there’s a lot more to Ooblets than just dance battling, so the shallow deck-building doesn’t detract from the whole experience. This system encouraged – no, demanded – that I keep up on unlocking new recipes and growing new crops on my farm. A fun enough my-first-deck-builder, but not quite up to snuff for someone who’s put hundreds of hours into dedicated games of the genre. This wasn’t a huge issue during my first story playthrough since dance battles were always easy or manageable, and I never memorized every Ooblet’s signature moves well enough to accurately prepare counters anyway, but not being able to fine-tune my “deck” was still frustrating. Purchasable cards are also permanently unlocked and can never be removed from your deck once they’re added, making that problem potentially worse as you progress. I often found fantastic synergy between the signature cards of two Ooblets, but some other moves simply contributed to deck bloat that made any cool combos inconsistent. That also means constructing a party is like a roundabout way of building a deck, but there’s less choice than in similar games since you can’t alter the generic cards that make up the bulk of it. Each Ooblet has its own set of signature move cards, which makes collecting all the different species extra fun as I never knew when a new game-changing card would be held by the widdle Ooblet I just found. Battles play out as card-based fights, where different cards represent fanciful moves your Ooblets can perform, with silly names like Takey Tap Tap or One Step Pep. Unfortunately, the dance battles themselves never evolved enough to live up to their creative theming. Violence isn't the answer in Ooblets though – dance battles are. It’s a clever twist that removes the questionable ethics present in some other monster collecting games. Violence isn’t the answer in Ooblets though – dance battles are. Of course, they serve a higher purpose than that too – Ooblets are also used to battle on your behalf in order to earn new Ooblet seeds or to solve a plethora of local problems. Rather than being caught, you grow your own Ooblets right out of the ground, who will then act as your cutie-patootie farm assistants.
