You will see many people compare Bug Fables:TES to the first two Paper Mario RPGs,that this game is a spiritual successor of sorts, which are not bad comparisons. Though, this comparison misses the mark on how much this game improved on pretty much every aspect of its inspiration. This game is as close to a true 5 star game as I can think of. The only thing holding it back is some small levels of jank and a slow start till chapter 4 when character development and story progression start really taking off. So if you are here just because you heard it was inspired by Paper Mario, know that this game is better in every regard.
