Every member of the main and supporting cast is likeable or, at a minimum, interesting the same can be said about the storylines that come with them. It’s an already endearing premise that sticks the landing. The main story focuses on a group of friends making a competitive video game team, defeating their rivals, and then trying to dismantle a hostile takeover of their favorite arcade. I don’t hate games designed this way if the writing is good, and fortunately it is in Button City. There is a lot of going to one place, talking to a person, then going to another place, so be warned if you aren’t a fan of that type of gameplay loop. Progressing through the story moves time forward and opens up more of the town that the game takes place in.
Button City is a narrative adventure game, so you’ll be traveling around the town, talking to the other citizens, and maybe doing them a favor or two to advance an actual story. Slider song that these sound most like since the whole soundtrack has a similar vibe to K.K.'s music.Īnimal Crossing and Button City do have big differences when it comes to gameplay and structure, however. It’s a fun game to try and think of the K.K. More raucous scenes are backed by more rock-inspired songs. Scenes that require being sneaky see the soundtrack change to better fit that scene. The OST does change depending on the context of the game. The town theme is my favorite song from the soundtrack, which is lucky since it’s the most played track.
Both songs are mellow pop that sound like they’re played from a MIDI file. The town theme in Button City reminds me of the 10PM theme from New Horizons. The soundtrack is another similarity to Animal Crossing.
