Bug Fables is an absolutely phenomenal RPG inspired by the Paper Mario series that I feel not only matches, but surpasses the quality of it's source of inspiration. The combat is surprisingly tactical and well-designed, the characters and writing are absolutely wonderful, and the art is adorable.

Suggestions for new players: Turn hard mode on if you feel fights are getting to easy and turn it off if they're getting too hard. You can change your medal loadout if you die in a boss fight or a scripted enemy encounter. Increasing HP and TP is more useful in the early game and medal points are more useful in the mid-to-late game. Berries should be saved up in the bank and used sparingly until you unlock the card game tournament, which is easily the best way to make money in the game. In the event you get an item called an "attack pepper", use it on Vi.
