years ago a fan told me he thought The Spoils was steampunk. I adjusted my monocle and begged to differ. he then made a reasoned argument.

in the spirit of understanding, do those of you have played it consider the GBC game a JRPG? or a Zeldalike? what games does it seem most similar to? and what parts of the gameplay pulled you in? how important were the turn-based battles? and the creature collecting? would you have preferred a more action-based gameplay? I have so many questions.

• Old trailers and 2i videos: 

 

• A pre-cookie Jar animated trailer (Apprently, the video doesn't embed on mobile.  Here is a link: https://youtu.be/20KRgC-dJDc):
