Yo-Kai Watch 2: Psychic Specters

201476/100
Role-playing (RPG)

Fantasy · Open World · Turn-Based

Yo-Kai Watch 2's core loop revolves around befriending mischievous spirits and using them in turn-based battles, a formula that's deceptively deep. The game's strength lies in its creature-collecting, with a vast roster of quirky Yo-Kai to discover and befriend, each with unique abilities and personalities. Combat is engaging thanks to the strategic positioning of your Yo-Kai on a wheel, and the charming world encourages exploration and completionism.
