Kabuto Park (Switch) Review: A Cosy Bug-Battling Deckbuilder Blending Pokémon and Animal Crossing
Kabuto Park is a cosy, bug-battling deckbuilder for Nintendo Switch where players control Hana as she visits a park for a month to catch beetles and catch up with friends. The game from French developer Doot Tiny Games is described as a mix between Animal Crossing's Bug-Off and Pokémon, with a menu-driven interface where players select areas rather than exploring them. The review notes the gameplay loop is engaging, though the article appears to be cut off mid-sentence.
Key quotes
Reading the description for Kabuto Park, I imagined it would be like Animal Crossing's Bug-Off.
This quick, cosy beetle-collecting game from French developer Doot Tiny Games presents a concept that's closer to another Nintendo series: Pokémon.
Your character, Hana, visits the eponymous park for a month to catch bugs and catch up with friends.
It's played through menus, where you select areas rather than explore them – you'll unlock four throughout.
