What is Kabuto Park?

This short, single-player creature collector follows Hana during summer vacation as she tries to win a beetle-battling championship. You catch insects by timing net swings, choose bugs whose cards form your battle deck, and use those cards to knock other kids’ bugs out of the ring. Shop upgrades open new catching areas.

+you like relaxed collecting and hunting for rare insects
+you enjoy choosing teams for simple card battles
+you want a game you can finish in an afternoon

Not for you if...

−you want free-roaming exploration or a quest-driven story
−you want multiplayer battles or insect trading
−you expect a long campaign with complex strategy
