I love Adventure Time, it's a cartoon that is so rooted in all things nerdy and retro, made by fans of childhood. They finally moved into the gaming world, with a Zelda 2 style rpg for the 3ds. It's pretty short, but a total blast to play through, with some of the funniest dialogue that I have ever seen in a game.
The game starts by the Ice King stealing your garbage (shocker), which you find out towards the end was just a ploy to hang out with Finn and Jake more often. With the quest obtained, you must set off across four areas of the Land of Ooo, helping it's inhabitants and flirting with princesses. Whats really cool is how straight-forward the leveling system is. You have 3 stats, one for strength, hp, and speed. Everytime you level up by finding a Wizard's Star, you put a point in one of the categories, eventually maxing them all out.
All of my favorite characters make big appearances, from The Marauders (whose theme song in their village is just the phrase "Feast, Fight, Be Manly" chanted over and over) to Gunther, Peppermint Butler, and of course, The Party God. Each one is true to their hilarious selves, and Gunther is even a boss fight, where you must vanquish 100 penguins as they swarm. Mathematical!
Like I said, the game isn't long, and it isn't very difficult, but if you're a fan of the show, then you won't have any other gripes with it. It's fucking funny, it's a lot of fun to battle through the dungeons, and Finn and Jake make you feel just as warm and fuzzy as in the tv show. The only other thing I can think of that irked me a little, was just how fucking hard the final boss is, drawing a very dark contrast to the ease of the rest of the game. If you like Adventure Time, and you yearn for a mighty hero's quest, then get this. Now.
Oh shit! New game plus!? Rhombus!
