The Wonderful 101

The Wonderful 101 is often a loving amalgamation of famed designer Hideki Kamiya’s ideal work. It has Bayonetta’s knowing humor, Viewtiful Joe’s comic-book heart, and Okami’s sense of ingenuity. The game is greater “greatest hits” though, and manages to dazzle without treatment merit. Thanks to the novel Unite Morph repair shop, there’s never been a game quite like The Wonderful 101 despite it keeping the action game sensibilities of Kamiya’s previous titles.

Unlike other action games where switching an ability incorporates the push of a button, The Wonderful 101 requires that you draw your desired formation to execute the really Unite Morph, which transforms your group of heroes right desired weapon. Considering how often The Wonderful 101 requires that you switch forms, you’ll likely get flustered at first because you struggle to create consistent shapes. With practice, Unite Morph feels natural and soon enough you’ll be whipping out all kinds of things within a second or two. The way Your Wonderful 101 punishes you is through its credit rating system. After major battles you’re ranked on rate, the intricacy of combos, and how much destruction you took. The higher your rank, the a higher price you earn to spend on upgrades and goods.
