For those who are on the lookout for a light-hearted yet tricky Nintendo 3DS action-adventure game, Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn appears to be a great pick. The game is about Kirby who can transform the knitted wonders such as tanks and flying saucers instantly. And with the charismatic ravel abilities, he can drop button like bombs or wield a wire elegantly like a sword. One of my favorite features of this cool action-adventure game is the “Devilish Mode” in which devils try to hinder your path through each stage. Though it’s a bit challenging, I have loved going after it. On top of all, Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn has also got a good pack of minigames to keep your engrossed for more.
