Slime Morimori 2 / JAP

In Slime Morimori 2, you embark on a colorful and charming adventure set entirely in the lovingly playful world of Dragon Quest. Unlike the classic role-playing games in the series, you don't take on the role of a knight or wizard here - instead you slip into the skin (or slime) of a little blue slime with great courage: Rocket.

In the course of your journey in Slime Morimori 2, you will explore varied areas, fight monsters, solve puzzles and collect numerous items. The controls in Slime Morimori 2 are simple but well thought-out: as Slime, you can stretch, fling yourself and jump onto enemies - or catapult them against walls with a powerful slingshot attack. Everything in Slime Morimori 2 feels pleasantly smooth and intuitive.

A real highlight in Slime Morimori 2 are the huge tank battles in which you - supported by freed Slimes - control a gigantic battle tank. In these crazy battles, you collect ammunition, reload it yourself and try to destroy the enemy vehicle piece by piece. At the same time, you can board enemy tanks or defend your own fortress against invaders. The mixture of tactics, timing and chaos in Slime Morimori 2 makes for lots of fun.

Graphically, Slime Morimori 2 impresses with a colorful, lovingly animated 2D style. The world in Slime Morimori 2 looks lively, funny and full of small details. The typical humor of the Dragon Quest series is also omnipresent - from absurd enemy names to funny dialogues with the Slime inhabitants. The music is cheerful and catchy, and those familiar with the series will recognize many familiar sounds.

Slime Morimori 2 is a wonderfully charming and varied action adventure that will delight both fans of the Dragon Quest series and newcomers alike. With its unique hero, creative gameplay ideas and a dash of Slime humor, Slime Morimori 2 clearly stands out from other games. Anyone looking for an original, fun title for the Nintendo DS should not miss Slime Morimori 2.
