Aksys Games and Nippon Columbia Co., Ltd have today released Moco Moco Friends physically and digitally for 3DS. A twist on the adventure RPG genre, players can build their skills and amass loads of cuddly monsters to become the ultimate Plushkin Master. Battle against rivals, scavenge items, venture through massive dungeons, evolve Plushkin monsters and travel with your companions across the magical realm of Dreamtopia.

Check out the features:

- Battle and Evolve – Lead your Plushkins to victory in turn-based battles! Fight, befriend and evolve Plushkins on your quest to banish evil from Dreamtopia!

- “Gotta befriend em’ all!” – 120 types of Plushkin monsters to collect! Become friends with them as you aim to be the greatest Plushkin Master! Evolve your Plushkins using fantastical items found in Dreamtopia.

- Loads of Features! – Help out friends in town and clear side quests! Teleport to dungeons using the town portal/gate. The Garden allows the player to grow crops or collect items. The Garden runs in real-time meaning that the crops will continue to grow even when the Nintendo 3DS is off!

Unfortunately, we found Moco Moco Friends to be a fairly generic Pokémon clone, but it has an undeniable appeal.

Not one to release mere minute-long videos, Aksys has also released a twelve minute gameplay trailer seen below:
