honestly the best patapon game for beginners. its got a easy mode (of course) its quite easy to get into and doesnt need THAT much context from patapon 1.
this game killed **** course at around 2016 when this game was created, the match 3 formula was changing, and the endless "score until you run out of moves" was getting left behind in the past. however, bejeweled blitz. blitz proved that the formula could work, despite its timing. all im saying is if blitz could do it, so could stars. (what am i on???)
