Glitchy, but surprisingly fun game

I was kinda surprised at how much fun this game was. It popped up on Games with Gold, looked like an easy 1000/1000, so I gave it a download and loaded it up. I was right that it's fairly simple, but even though I was too old to have grown up with Adventure Time and never really watched it, this game has surprisingly good mechanics and a lot of charm. It's a turn-based RPG, and the 4 characters you'll unlock have some great variety in the role they play on your team. I won't pretend this isn't a game that's absolutely marketed toward children, it definitely won't be the proudest completion on my gamertag, but it's a lot of fun.

My only real complaint with the game is the glitches. Most glitches are just annoying and not game breaking, but there is one achievement for unlocking all other achievements which is glitched, and no one has found a consistent workaround for it as of writing. Some get it, some don't, and no one is quite sure why. I jumped into this game before knowing about it and I should know in the next few days if I was one of the lucky ones. But if you're a completionist, I'd advise caution before diving into this game. Maybe it'll work out for you, maybe it won't. Now that it has been on Games with Gold and there will be renewed interest in it, maybe a patch will finally get pushed through to fix the issue, so it might be wise to just sit back and wait on this game to see if that does happen. If it does, great. If it doesn't, then you can decide whether or not you want to take your chances.

If you don't care about completions though, and you like turn-based RPGs, give this one a go. It's a lot of fun, and I don't think you'll regret it.

Edit 4/4/19: Finished the game last night and it seems I was one of the lucky ones who did get the achievement to pop. TA shows that numerous people have unlocked it over the past week or so, so maybe the issue is fixed? I make no promises about how things will shake out for you, but for the moment, all appears to be well.
