![]() ![]() If they do happen to destroy you, you are slowly summoned back to your starting point via a transportive bubble. The gist of the minigame consists of you and your teammates controlling little robots in a virtual map to collect the most berries and take them to the blender under a time limit, whilst also watching out for the other team who can potentially destroy you and vice versa. Gobabots, the main minigame from the arcade that the story is mostly centred around, gets pretty tiring after a while, and I would only want to play the game against an NPC if I really needed to, in order to progress the story or gain points. The minigames that you also play in Button City, while cutesy, also get repetitive quickly. It took some getting used to before I could press the X button at the right moment to action the interaction, but it was very finnicky and could have done with some more refining on this part. One thing that bugged me throughout my entire playthrough was having to adjust Fennell in an exact spot in order for him to interact with a character or item so I could talk to them, or pick said item up. While Button City has its presentation and style nailed down perfectly and the story and issues presented decently, it’s more the technical things and gameplay I had problems with. With some witty writing and all-around emotional moments, Button City will be sure to take you by surprise, too. While I don’t want to spoil anything, I thoroughly enjoyed the themes and story this game presented to me. ![]() I was surprised to find that Button City’s story was disarmingly heart-touching and dabbled in some issues that can hit home for some, with topics such as family issues, sibling rivalry, things that I was absolutely not expecting this cutesy little adventure game to take and guide me through. One of Fennel’s new friends is obsessed with a TV show involving aliens and believes conspiracies of aliens being the reason as to why something is happening, is an example of a fun light-hearted conversation that takes place early on in the game, which made me chuckle. The dialogue is also funny and just plain adorable. Even the way the characters talk to one another and their conversations together are just all-around cute, especially Fennel’s obsession with video games and making new friends. You definitely cannot help but feel happy and smile when you boot up this game to experience it. With its very lovely saturation of colours splashed all across the characters and locations for you to explore and intentionally low-poly 90s aesthetic, this game ticks all the boxes for its style and presentation. There is absolutely no denying that Button City is very charming in its presentation. Fennel and friends take it upon themselves to decide to save the arcade from a greedy businessman’s desire to turn it into his retail store and will do anything to make sure the arcade stays. Who all share a deep love of the arcade and video games. Unfortunately, the arcade is at risk of being turned into a retail store, something that causes much panic to Fennel and his newfound friends. Here, all Button City inhabitants love to play a game here called Gobabots, the most popular arcade game there is to offer. ![]() Fennel is shy and does not have any friends, but quicky makes up for that and meets new people at Button City’s local arcade. Which is exactly how my experience was with this very adorable and lavish indie game, despite some issues that could have been ironed out.ĭeveloped and published by Indie studio Subliminal, Button City begins with the adorable fox Fennel, who is the new fox in town. Taking one look at Button City, one word will most likely come to mind: adorable. ![]()
