Yo-Kai Watch 4: Bokura Wa Onaji Sora wo Miageteiru

For five years, Level 5's hit Yo-Kai Watch franchise reshaped the monster genre for today's generation with over a hundred Yo-Kais to befriend and battle while exploring different worlds and timelines. After five years, the world of Yo-Kai Watch has arrived on the Nintendo Switch and this will be the biggest Yo-Kai Watch adventure yet.

Yo-Kai Watch 4:
Bokura Wa Onaji Sora wo Miageteiru

Yo-Kai Watch has finally arrived on the Nintendo Switch and with Yo-Kai Watch 4, you control the fate of three different timelines as you will venture through different timelines, befriending new and returning Yo-Kais, and uncover the secrets of the spirit world. In the present world, you get to play as Keita Amano and Fumika Kodama. In the future world, meanwhile, you get to play as Natsume Amano, Touma Tsukinami, and Akinori Arihoshi. And in the past, you play as Shin Shimomachi. Believe it or not, these characters can join the fight alongside their Yo-Kai friends as well as powering up their skills to make them more suitable for their next battles.

The battle system has been massively improved as well because instead of the traditional battle system that you are familiarized with, it uses the improved version of the battle system derived from Yo-Kai Watch Busters game so your character can freely battle at your disposal. Mastering the characters' spirit weapons, mastering every Yo-Kai Watch's skills on battle, mastering the new Stopwatching feature, this new battle system becomes even more strategic than ever.

There's even more to this because while playing on the future world, you can unleash Shadowside versions of your favorite Yo-Kais such as Jibanyan and Komasan, making battles even more fiercer, especially boss battles. Also, Toma's Yo-Kai Watch Ogre allows him to transform himself as one of the spirit warriors or when equipped with a divine sword, giving him the ability to become one of the divine gods, the results are even more twice as awesome.

Different timelines come with different Yo-Kais to meet and whether if you are exploring through the past, present, and the future, there's a new Yo-Kai waiting to be befriended so don't be shy. They deserved to be part of your temporal adventure. 

Oh, and keep an eye out for some special guests lurking around on Yo-Kai Watch 4. Don't know who they are but they are famous enough to join the cast. Just ask Gegege no Kitaro and the Omuta City mascot, that's for sure.

Remember the Yo-Kai Arks you got from the toy stores ever since the Shadowside era? You can scan it with your Nintendo Switch Joy-Con and gain lots of goodies that will be proven useful on your adventure, whatever that means.

There are so many ways to do in Yo-Kai Watch 4 but we'll leave it here for now but anyway, with its improved graphics, improved battle system, immense storyline that spans different timelines, new and returning Yo-Kais to meet, and different ways to play, the latest Yo-Kai Watch game promises to bring new and returning fans an adventure they will never forget because with the past, present, and future joining forces, this is by no means the biggest Yo-Kai Watch adventure in ages, for good times and bad times, and since this is on the Nintendo Switch, you can play it anywhere you want as long as you're not making a ruckus on everyone around you.

Good luck on your biggest Yo-Kai adventure yet!
