Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny is a top-down action RPG designed for younger players with whimsical graphics and simplified gameplay, featuring characters like SpongeBob and Timmy.
The 20 new minigames use either the Joy-Con Mouse controls, the Switch 2 microphone, or the camera. The clear winner of the bunch are the mouse-based minigames, as they fit seamlessly into the kinds of games you'd expect from the series.
The concentration of player populations on certain Worlds has led to unexpected issues that have affected the quality of the gaming experience somewhat. The overpopulation of the Asura server is causing problems like system messages not being delivered, prompting Square Enix to temporarily close it to new players.
The clash mechanic in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers allows players to hit through enemy attack animations, deflecting damage and enabling healing when activated with the blademaster buff. This adds a powerful layer to gameplay, letting players engage in relentless attacks instead of solely blocking or parrying, thereby feeling as formidable as the bosses encountered.
