Fairune Collection (Switch)

At least she isn't looking at the tower

I've played through the Fairune games and it's spinoff and now they appeared on the Switch in a neat little collection with some extra stuff inside of it. You have Fairune 1 and Fairune 2 and I can't say much more that I did the first time I played through them. It's walking around and solving puzzles while trying to fight the right enemy so that you don't get overwhelmed. It's also a bit of roadblocking I realized since at points you need to clear rooms filled with enemies and for that to work you need to level up. Puzzles are still solved by looking around and noticing pictures and such to get you an idea what you are needed to do, othertimes you need to find an item and use it at the right spot. Second game is bigger than the first and actually have a semblence of a story. Graphics are nice and the music is fantastic.

A bit different

The other games in the collection is Fairune Origin. A very short adventure where it took me 15 minutes to beat. What the origins is about is hard to say since it just like usual. Collect fairys and defeat the demon king. Although this time there is 4 fairies and you have no level up system (since it's such a short adventure) and you heal by standing still for enough amount of time. The graphics are a bit more blocky and the princess is a bit taller in this game for some reason. I don't get why they just didn't reuse the same sprite all over again, but it was a bit interesting to see something new.

And now for something completely different

Last game in the collection that you need to finish the first three games in the collection to be able to play is Fairune Burst. And it is  2 minute shooter. You pick either the Princess or the two other heroes from Kamiko and run through the gauntlet and try to get as high of a score as possible within the time limit. Fun distraction, but I prefer the main 2 games and their gameplay. Overall I liked this collection. Everything easily accessible for me on the Switch and with a larger screen than on my New 3DS.
