10 Upcoming 2019 Video Games You Could Totally Miss
7. Little Town Hero
Game Freak’s other game this year.
Little Town Hero has been causing small controversy ever since it was announced earlier this year, then known just as Town. At the height of the Dexit controversy, it seemed like Game Freak had pumped resources into this and just left Pokémon to survive on the weight of its name.
Game Freak is a notoriously small developer anyway, so spreading themselves across two projects ahead of the most anticipated Pokémon game in years was a bold move.
Pokémon aside though, there’s a lot to be excited about. Certainly, Game Freak themselves seem to have far more enthusiasm for Little Town Hero, and it appears to be a labour of love.
Some have limited trust in Game Freak’s name these days, but the inclusion of Undertale’s Toby Fox as Little Town Hero’s composer has already turned heads. Little Town Hero already looks set to have a lot of charm, and the soundtrack is now pretty much guaranteed to deliver too.
Like Pokémon, it features turn based battling, but also allows you to move around the town mid battle, getting assistance from townsfolk you’ve previously helped out. The attacks are called ‘ideas’ too, which seems curious. Definitely one to watch.
