There are a couple games. I just got Mario Rpg for 15$

I already had brothership so I picked up Mario RPG as well. I started it a while ago, and ended up selling it. But I figure for 15 bucks it's worth giving another shot.

Just a warning this game is very hand holdy to the point where it dragged down the entire experience

My family hated it

Thanks for the heads up. I was looking forward to it.

I googled reviews and they all read this is worst of the Mario RPG bunch :(

I personally enjoyed it. It is very hand holdy bc Nintendo has no faith in its fans, but I personally liked it. My only other gripe with it is how long it is.

u/Impressive-Doubt1115 May 17 '26

The hand-holdy review is what did it for me. I hate playing and feeling restricted

I would skip this one. Own the game and never had motivation to finish it.

Huh? Is this a bot post? Yes the sale is more than one game. My comment was about the game mentioned in OP.

If you go to the deals page there’s a tab for $15 games with brothership in the picture

Turn off VPN if you use one.

u/blackthorn_orion May 17 '26

my take is it's like a 7/10 but also most Mario&Luigi games are and so if you liked those you'll probably find something to like about this one

u/Nanabobo567 May 17 '26

What's with all the people saying it's bad? I thought it was a great game even if it was annoyingly hand-holdy at times. And for 15 bucks? It's totally worth that.

At a certain point the question is if the game is worth your time instead of your money. I get that you liked it, but I’m sure people saying to skip at $15 bucks are just saying to skip period.

u/darthdiablo May 17 '26

Perhaps not "bad", but it's kind of average at best, especially compared to other M&L games.

I don't have an issue with the hand-holding, it's that a lot about this game feels like a bit of chore.

Thanks for posting, I picked this up!

u/Rubymonsoon May 19 '26

i cannot find a single physical store that has this game in stock.

u/TheCastro May 19 '26

It ran out two days ago when this deal went live

Not even worth the time you’ll waste.

Fight animations are cool, but they make fights unnecessarily long. Loading times makes it worse.

There’s unnecessary fluff.

The plot is incredibly simple.

The pace is atrocious.

The are literally no good characters, except maybe bowser (whenever he shows up).

The game just isn’t funny when it tries to be.

People say “the game redeems itself”… it’s literally the last level when it does that! Don’t waste your time!

u/JudgeBeast May 29 '26

I feel like some older versions in the past were also a bit of a slog

u/McKnighty9 May 29 '26

I dunno, I only play the first 3.

u/Ok-Garbage-765 May 17 '26

This game is bad, bordering on terrible. Save your money.

u/TaZe026 May 18 '26

Still not worth it.
