Ambition of the Slimes is so immediately offbeat that, good or bad, at least players know they’re in for something special. But what they won’t be prepared for is just how creative and deep this thoroughly original turn-based strategy game actually is.
But what really makes Ambition of the Slimes so spectacular is its ingenious strategy hook. Players start each match with a party of slimes they’ve collected. Being slimes, they aren’t great at fighting directly. They’re underpowered and outmatched. However, if players can position them next to a stronger human enemy unit like an archer or a knight, the slime can hop in that poor person’s mouth and possess them. This adds so many awesome new strategy considerations. What units do I go after? How much should I soften up this target before going in for the steal? Possess first and then attack? Use possessed units to shield weaker slimes?
In a just world, Ambition of the Slimes will be remembered as a wacky and wonderful cult classic. When it comes to presenting fresh new strategic ideas, this game’s ambition is as great as its slimes.
