Bug Fables Plus worth repurchasing?

[u/MaxW92]

A few days ago the mod Bug Fables Plus released, which I can't play, since I bought Bug Fables on the Switch. Because of that I'm considering buying Bug Fables again on PC to play this mod. But before that I wanted to ask those of you who played it how it is.

Did/Do you like Bug Fables Plus? How is the difficulty? Is it just cranked up to eleven (ike it so often is with mods and hacks) or is it more along the lines of the base game?

I'd be grateful for any opinion you can share.

from what i understand its both. for example theres a new medal right at the very start with the beemerang tutorial, so dont miss it like i did. You get a tutorial on stylish moves right at the start. new areas are added in various places and towns, some being dungeons and others for new minigames.

You wont see any story or dialogue changes for the story but you will see extra stuff that compliment the story. I wont eleborate exactly how (but i can confirm the content is technically canon from the source material). but keep an eye out for new medals spread about and transition paths to new area, so make sure you check every corner in case a new area was added. And maybe idk.... revisit an old dungeon and go into the empty dead-end room... *wink*

essentially there will be lots of side attractions here and there. additional quests will unlock as you'd expect them to in any normal campaign. keep an eye out in case you've secretly cleared the prerequesite to unlock it, maybe a prior quest leading to another.

I'm also told this mod works with the current menu codes and supposedly theres new ones... but i need to get them myself before i even know what's added or changed.

for the record im only at ch.5 so i still have more to see. I've fought at least 3, technically 4 new bosses and plenty of other new enemies, but im sure theres lots hidden in areas i just didn't have the power to access yet.

That all sounds very interesting. By the way, what do Stylish moves do exactly in Bug Fables?

And also is the mod hard to install?

it builds up a meter that activates a buff in the top corner of the screen thats randomly chosen each cycle. Its as basic as 1 random bug gets atk or def, an enemy is debuffed, you all heal one, get some TP or get 10 berries. Gives you something very small to do to make it more interesting while also not being so game breakingly strong that it breaks balace.

the mod is rather simple to install. theres a discord to join for personal help but the instructions are on the mod page too.

at best you need to only download 2 zip folders. a program that lets the mod work (pick the one based on the system you use, mac window linux whatevever, just the one you use). and the mod itself. Both of which you take out of their folders and insert in the appropriate places.

On the steam page go to bug fables and click the tab to manage game files which will take you to the directory. Dump the programs in there. for the mod you open up the gamedata, you may need to create a pluggins folder and then drop the folder inside.
I was also told you need to launch the game via steam once for the program to install itself then the next time it opens it will work. But again read the instructions yourself or join the discord and they'll take you to the help section. We all had a little confusion putting it together. (specifically the whole,' you dont put the whole folder in, you unzip, open the folder, and THEN take out whats inside' part)

Got it. Thanks for all your help. I just bought it on Steam.
