The folks at Nintendo Life have reviewed Pokémon: Magikarp Jump, which they gave a “Not Bad” score of a six out of 10 possible points. Read on below for an excerpt from their review:
Overall, Pokémon: Magikarp is a fascinating package. It has great style, but it severely lacks in gameplay. It feels like the epitome of a generic mobile title with a Pokémon twist, which is somewhat unfortunate. With no gameplay other than feeding the fish and playing “whose stat is bigger?”, there’s just unfortunately so little to the game. It’s definitely something fun to play on the bus or the train to kill time, in a style similar to other mobile games that have you looking after animals or buildings, but it just lacks the depth that we’ve come to expect from the other Pokémon mobile titles such as Pokémon GO, Pokémon Duel and Pokémon Shuffle. While it’s easy to recommend having it on your mobile device, it’s hard to recommend paying for microtransactions.
