You play cards to earn points, stun opponents, earn Hype, and more in these fun, cute, and easy to understand battles. You also start each turn with a certain amount of Beats, which is a resource you spend to play cards and, just like your hand, is refreshed each turn.


For example, Sidekey comes with a card that allows the next move you play to happen twice in a row. While some cards are common and available in your deck no matter what, each Ooblet provides special, unique moves for you to use if you draw them. At the start of your turn, you’ll receive a new hand of cards from your deck. Dance battles are turn based, and your goal in each is to fill your meter before your opponent fills theirs by getting jiggy with it. Just like before, I chose Sidekey – a cute little robot pal.Īlong with helping perform farming tasks, Ooblets love dance battles which just so happens to be the form in which most conflicts in Oob are settled. This isn’t too big of a deal, as later on you can get all of the Ooblets and your club doesn’t actually matter, but you’ll be sticking by your first partner for quite a while. Once you arrive in town and speak to a few notable residents, you choose which Ooblet club to join and receive your first Ooblet.

You may notice gender is missing from that list, which is pretty cool for multiple reasons like inclusivity and being able to wear whatever clothes you want. You begin Ooblets customizing your character including things like hair, skin color, and clothing.
