Gameplay

The game features a delightful top-down view that makes you feel like you're in an aerial yoga class. You join Goemon and his cohort, Ebisumaru, on a quest to thwart the evil Ayashige family. The kick move introduced here is about as essential as your morning coffee – it allows you to kick enemies in style and engage in some low-key karate while you journey through a variety of comically oversized enemies and whimsical landscapes. Ebisumaru, your rotund sidekick, is perfect for those moments when you need someone to bounce ideas off—literally; he’ll bounce back from hits far better than you. The game packs a lot into its single-player mode, ensuring you’re constantly entertained as you hack, slash, and occasionally kick your way to glory. Side quests and mini-games dot the landscape, allowing you to collect treasures that *definitely* do not look like shiny rocks. Who wouldn't want to collect gems that resemble abandoned candy wrappers? Classic.

Graphics

Graphically, it's PlayStation-era pixel magic! The colors pop like a bag of Skittles, and the character designs are as quirky as a cat wearing sunglasses. 3D environments are crafted with a playful vibe that refuses to take itself too seriously. The visual style might not be 'next-gen' by today’s standards, but it adds to the charm. Movement is smooth, giving players the illusion that not everything in life is a clumsy shuffle. You're treated to animations that are so fun, you'd think the characters were rehearsing for a ninja dance competition while saving Japan. Enemies behave like those A-list characters at a party: a little over the top and often prone to dramatic exits. Colorful backdrops and whimsical designs create a frenzied atmosphere that is utterly captivating.
