You also assign characters a personality type, such as Cool, Stubborn, or Airheaded, that can affect the way they take actions and guard against attacks: A Cool character might dodge enemy attacks more frequently, while a Stubborn one can sometimes take extra turns. However, the game also offers more out-there classes like Pop Star, Chef, and Cat. Some are based on typical fantasy archetypes, such as Warrior, Cleric, and Thief. It initially shows some promise: As your party-member Miis come into the world, you assign them various jobs for combat (with some unlocking later in the game). The role-playing adventure behind this silliness is an incredibly basic affair that quickly grows tiresome.
Unfortunately, once the novelty wears off and you look beyond the basic "putting Miis in a silly fantasy world" concept, Miitopia starts to lose its luster. The randomness and goofiness of these scenes is part of Miitopia's appeal: It's fun watching the Miis you've put into the game gradually become weird BFFs (and maybe more). These events are often depicted with funny cinematics and dialogue as characters talk, argue, train, and help each other out in combat. As your party members hang out together at inns, travel to new locations, and fight at each others' side, little events occur that will raise and lower their affinity for each other. Making a fantasy world filled with Miis is a cute idea inspired by Tomodachi Life, but another concept that carries over from that game is inter-character relationships. Want to make the Dark Lord look like your boss at work, fill up your party with your coworkers, and create a Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson lookalike to play the part of a helpful sage? Or create a love triangle between Princess Bubblegum, Bobby Hill, and Peter Griffin? You can do all that-and more. Your party members-as well as the roles of major non-player characters-consist of Miis you make, download, or add to the game via QR codes. Miitopia isn't supposed to be a "serious" RPG, but rather a goofy adventure you plop your Miis into. It's a pretty silly story, but that's the point. A mysterious traveler-played either by your personal Mii or another Mii living on your 3DS that you select-stumbles into a city during one of the Dark Lord's attacks and is called upon by a higher power to put a stop to the face-taking madness. This wave of terror has left many eyeless, mouthless, noseless Mii-people in its wake. The Dark Lord has been stealing the faces of the world's populace and placing the visages on its horde of minions. In the colorful world of Miitopia, sinister happenings are afoot. Sadly, however, Miitopia is far from the virtual paradise its title might suggest. With Miitopia, Nintendo aims to further evolve the concept of a Mii-focused game-a role-playing adventure in world populated with Miis of all kinds. Nintendo has expanded upon these avatars through games like the 3DS StreetPass titles and Tomodachi Life, which saw players put Miis in a variety of comedic relationships and situations. One of Nintendo's more enduring creations from the past decade are "Miis"-cartoony, user-created avatars that have since appeared in numerous titles across Nintendo platforms.
