Miis aren’t for everyone, but Miitopia is easily the nicest and most accessible RPG ever made, and for that it deserves considerable praise.
Miitopia is a 3DS RPG that lets you cast Mii characters based on your friends in a journey to defeat the Dark Lord and restore stolen faces. Manage friendships, jobs, and stats as you explore the world map and engage in turn-based battles, where relationships affect the outcome. Watch as your Mii characters mingle, form bonds, and even affect combat through their interactions.
