Unfortunately, all of Tokyo Clanpool’s misleading intentions led the game into a complete mess of empty and uninspired concepts, and consequently turns itself into a big graveyard of good intentions amidst other titles that do the same thing Tokyo Clanpool sets out to do, only much better.

Overview
Tokyo Clanpool is a Dungeon RPG where you’ll take your party of heroines deeper and deeper into the tower to counter the monster threat and learn the truth of its origin. Equip Digiskins to customize characters’ skills and abilities while navigating mazelike corridors in first-person perspective. Turn-based combat is fast and strategic, and with your team’s ether-based powers, you can even float or dig tunnels to alter the structure of dungeons. But you’ll also have to keep an eye on your citizens’ approval ratings. If your actions are favorable, you can earn valuable bonuses, but if it falls too low, your entire cabinet could resign! Is your administration up to the task?

It’s unfortunate that the “censorship” of a small part of it will cost it within the small...
I haven't played a dungeon crawler RPG as satisfying and unique as Tokyo Clanpool in a very long time and I'm super-happy that it's as great of an experience as it is so if you enjoy these kinds of games and can get your hands on a copy, definitely take the plunge. 🗼
Combine all this with a solid soundtrack, excellent voiceover work and the trademark silly humor of Compile Heart’s ridiculous character creations, and Tokyo Clanpool is one of the better dungeon crawlers I’ve gotten on the Switch. While exposition can take a while and the plot is a little run of the mill, it’s got heart and it’s cute, and I seriously...
