The main protagonist of Mugen Souls, Chou-Chou, plans to conquer the universe by subjugating the seven worlds it comprises, as she thinks the planets look pretty. Gameplay revolves around exploration and turn-based, open-field combat, and the game also includes mini games and customization. Due to the questionable nature of the game's portrayal of child protagonists, certain aspects of the western release have been edited and some mini-games have been disabled.","143593\u002Fmugen-souls-cover.jpg","143593\u002Fmugen-souls-header.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fwatch?v=LmOYbxyQ2bU","2012-03-22",58.8,11501,"mugen-souls",null,[19,23,27],{"company":20,"developed":22,"published":22},{"name":21},"Compile Heart",true,{"company":24,"developed":26,"published":22},{"name":25},"NIS America",false,{"company":28,"developed":26,"published":22},{"name":29},"Ghostlight Ltd.",[31,32,33],"Role-playing (RPG)","Strategy","Adventure",[35,36,37],"PC (Microsoft Windows)","PlayStation 3","Nintendo Switch",[39,55,71,86,101],{"id":40,"author":41,"outlet":44,"summary":50,"review_url":51,"review_date":52,"original_score":53,"normalized_score":54},74441,{"id":42,"name":43},4788,"Vince Ingenito",{"id":45,"logo":46,"name":47,"website_url":48,"score_format":49},69,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FIGN-logo.jpg","IGN","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.ign.com\u002F","10","If you've been reading this review and thinking, “This guy just doesn't 'get' Japan,” I implore you to reconsider -- not for the sake of my reputation, but for the sake of your wallet. This isn't about “anime bias”, nor is it about culture shock. We could all argue until we were blue in the face about how things that are taboo here are accepted there or how different their sense of humor is from ours. That isn't the point. I got every joke in Mugen Souls, I just didn't find any of them terribly funny. Whether your tastes align more with the East or the West, poor game design is still poor game design. If you're dying to throw your cash up on the altar to show your support for the localization of niche RPGs, go right ahead. Just remember: I told you so.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.ign.com\u002Farticles\u002F2012\u002F10\u002F12\u002Fmugen-souls-review","2012-10-12","3.9",39,{"id":56,"author":57,"outlet":60,"summary":66,"review_url":67,"review_date":68,"original_score":69,"normalized_score":70},82759,{"id":58,"name":59},6617,"Scott Adams",{"id":61,"logo":62,"name":63,"website_url":64,"score_format":65},128,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FThe-Outerhaven-Logo.jpeg","The OuterHaven","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.theouterhaven.net\u002F","5","Mugen Souls is a fun game when you don’t look too much into the intricacies of the gameplay and characters.
