How do you feel about the Little Tale Bronx series?
Of course the characters get lots of love from furries, but I'm also curious about your opinions on the games, stories, and merits of the series as a whole.
I've only just recently begun to explore the games, starting with Tail Concerto. Honestly, I've found it harder to enjoy as it goes on. It started off very compelling and promising, but everything from gameplay to story began to trend downwards. I feel like it's begging for a do over. (I may expand on this in another post)
I might skip to playing Solatorobo.
Notably a new game, Fuga, is in development for the Switch and looks interesting. It's very different in style from the other two, though. This is a nice preview of the latest public build:

I like the art style, character designs, and dev team, but the IP is aimed at kids hence the simplistic gameplay and story. Not saying that it's a bad thing, but I'm clearly not the target demographic.

Well you might like Fuga considering it sounds like it's going to get pretty dark. War orphans find a lost civilization's battle tank and try to end the conflict. The most powerful weapon on the tank is powered by sacrifices.
Also I should have remembered title is Fuga: Melodies of Steel. Easier to search that way.
But from my experiences with Tail Concerto the game isn't just simple, it has real design problems.
The gameplay started out nice. It felt like the premise could be described as "mechanized cops and robbers" or "literally herding cats." If they actually leaned into that design philosophy it would have been really fun, but it became obvious they didn't have the creative clarity or the time to build the game around this. Instead I was spending forever shooting tanky enemies with the capture bubble, doing awkward platforming, etc.
As for the story, it actually hinted pretty strongly at hard topics like racism, but never got into them. Holes and simply bad character interactions popped up. The whole thing felt more and more like an unorganized mess as it went on. There's a concept there that's begging to be properly written, for kids or not.
Overall the game felt rushed.

Oh, I just found this image of antagonist designs from the game. Tossing in a couple other images too

Oh fuck, I just noticed something else. The facists are all dogs. Might they commit to the theme of race this time?

Tail Concerto is the first of them and it is only game I play when it come out on ps1.
I don't play the rest but I don't like being more edgy and dark theme as it goes
Tail Concerto is more nature and innocent

Solatorobo is one of my fav games ever, and the thing that made me love furry fanart(Chocolat :3) also the reason I'm here now.
I hope they're doing something this year for the 10th anniversary, a sequel would be the best thing ever but I'll take a remake too. Oh and of course I'll buy Fuga at d1 even tho seems very different from the other games of the series, but I like strategic games too.

I get that and it does generally have a nice tone going on. In part that's why I'd like to see it remade and polished up. The art style and gameplay concept are also really charming.

Everyone seems to love it so I think I'll jump into Solatorobo tomorrow. Just got to grab a rom.
I haven't heard anything about a remake yet, but they've already been releasing stuff in the lead up to this year so who knows, maybe they'll go big!

I just remembered seeing this actually (Turn CC on). Still no confirmation, but it's clear Solatorobo is on their mind.

Yeah I was actually referring to that video. I'm sure you're going to love the game, only thing that maybe some people won't like is that maybe is a bit easy, even tho still fun i like the original gameplay, but not every game have to be a challenge, you can play a game for the story, the characters, the beautiful world and music... pretty much everything else is great, for the time it had an amazing graphic too, also one of the very few games I remember to have downloadable dlc with free quests (don't know how to play them now since online is closed) On a console like the ds. Wow!

You can still download them by connecting to a custom server, look here: https://github.com/barronwaffles/dwc_network_server_emulator
There's even a mission that reveals why Elh is afraid of insects.

Sorry, but the gameplay in Solatorobo turned me off. It's for little kids.

The "DLCs" were just on-card unlocks.
The US version had all of them integrated into the main game.

Personally I'm really appreciating the attention to detail. It's pulling me into the world.
I can't say much on gameplay yet, but I like that coming from Tail Concerto they learned to focus the combat around grabbing. Juggling robots is satisfying so far.

I am pretty happy to see CC2 returning their LTB with their new work, but sometimes, i feel like i don't really wanted to play this game. It's because the gameplay looks cheap and low-budget and that it makes me really not wanting to play.
This is also the first that CC2 did console game, since they we're once largely concentrated with their own gacha game called Fullbokko Heroes X, a gacha that had cute kemono units, it ran from 2014 to 2019, and even though the game has discontiuned, it still had a huge impacted whiting kemono fandom during that tenure, as the game had a lot of kemono units that Kishibe, Rikose, Shimako and Shigatake provided character designs of Kemono units in it.
But i wonder who actually designs these characters is unclear, i won't tell that Nobuteru Yuuki is the one who design it, but i wanted an different and new generation kemono artist who could take over his role as a character designer to this latest game.

Tail Concerto and Solatorobo probably converted me, then again it could've been anything.
