★☆☆☆☆
All style, no substance.
Don't recommend for any Mario or RPG fans. I would've liked the game because of its writing, story and overworld, but the game is bogged down by a complete erasure of what made Paper Mario good, adding in this poorly done, watered down battle system with no flair, no strategy and no stakes. No good progression system since leveling was taken out, because the developers think children can't handle basic RPGs despite most adults growing up with the genre since they were nearly toddlers. If I could return the game straight to Nintendo for it's poor quality, I would. All style, no substance, barely worth 1/4th of its price, and if the developer of this game doesn't understand what makes either Paper Mario or and RPG good, he should probably be replaced.
