Sigh. Once again, Timmy causes massive trouble for people. This time his wish drags characters from other worlds and places them in a Dungeons and Dragons-like world.
Timmy’s selfish behavior does got to me. In one scene, the other characters find out that Timmy wished for this world. The other characters say, “Wish us home,” and Timmy is like, “Eh. Do I have to?” Fortunately, he does realize holding them there against their will isn’t nice and makes the wish. It doesn’t work because, well, we wouldn’t have a game.
It is interesting that no one gets mad at Timmy for wishing the game to be real, but they are also group of heroes, and it was an accident that they got pulled into his game.
The levels are fairly easy, as are the quests, but the bosses are a a different matter. It took me multiple attempts to beat the second boss, even with being three levels higher.
I like how the developers blended the fetch quests with regular quests. It didn’t feel like it was always, “Go get X number of Y things.” There were things like “Investigate the woods” or “Find Leo’s brothers.”
Don’t forget to drink some water, stretch, and take a break.

I did have a problem with the “Find a backscratcher for Mikey” quest. In the level, it tells you to find the backscratcher; but by the end of the level, you haven’t found it. I ended up searching the whole level before a YouTube video showed me that the backscratcher was in another level.
Up to this point, quests were completed by the end of the level. All of a sudden, without warning, it’s changed. It’d be nice if the quest updated to something like, “Return to the Tangle to continue looking for the backscratcher,” so that I’m not looking all over going, “Where is it??!!”
The voice acting was great! Glad to see the original cast return to do the various voices, which is impressive because some of those shows are really old. I also liked the voice snippets outside of cutscenes where they comment on the level.
Probably the best part is that the whole team levels up. You don’t have to keep switching out characters to keep everyone at the same level.
The lite fourth wall breaking was funny. I like the Dungeons and Dragons jokes. Also, when the OG Nicktoons meet they’re like, “Have we met before?” I like the subtle nod to the other Nicktoons’ games.
The game’s graphics, mechanics, and gameplay seemed better than other games by the developers. (A couple were unplayable.)
It was fun playing as classic and new-ish Nicktoons characters. I enjoyed how they interacted with each other. I liked how each had their own style and powers (and I can’t say enough about the shared XP). It is a shorter game, but it comes with a lot of replay value.
And speaking of dragons…
[Who was talking about dragons?]
I was. This is a transition from the review about a Dungeon and Dragons-like game to my book where dragons attack the city.
[Ohhhh…]
