You’re aided in your quest by a sentient Crown who is easily the sassiest piece of headwear since the Super Mario Odyssey hat turned our favourite plumber into a big slab of ham. In Crown Trick you play as Elle, a young girl with a mysterious past and possibly the only person who can save the world from a nightmarish doom. Thanks to Crown Trick from NExT Studios and Team17 I’m now something of a turn-based combat convert. That and the fact that Luigi is a stone-cold badass sniper! The game that started to change my mind on this was weirdly Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, where I started to appreciate the tactics and strategy required for winning a confrontation. I’ve always been more of what I consider an “active” combatant, preferring to prance, roll, duck and dodge around my opponent like an overly confident court jester. Honestly, I immediately hated the combat and at the time found it to be slow and torturous. My first experience of this was not as you might think a Final Fantasy game, but another TBJRPG from Hironobu Sakaguchi, Blue Dragon. It almost felt Pythonesque the way your character would just stand there like the Black Knight and take a ludicrously oblong-shaped sword to the face. There was always something about the combat tennis way of fighting, as you and your mortal enemy take it in turns to whomp each other that bugged me. I’ve never been a massive fan of turn-based action games.
