Discover the Bizarre World of Promise Mascot Agency: A Unique Gaming Experience!

BBG News

Starting with “Promise Mascot Agency”, you find yourself in a peculiar situation – a game where you assume the role of an exiled yakuza, stationed in the enigmatic town of Kaso-Michi. Here, your mission is to manage the titular agency, but it’s just one piece of the puzzle. You navigate the town in a compact truck, gathering items, conversing with residents, and tirelessly promoting your services to generate as much income as you can. The ultimate goal? To amass enough money to settle a colossal ¥12bn debt owed to your yakuza family, following an ambush that left the funds in the wrong hands. Rumors swirl that the town’s curse ultimately claims yakuza lives, and your character, Michi, may not escape its grasp. Prepare for a delightfully bizarre journey!

The Promise Mascot Agency stands out in an unusual way. It blends elements of an open-world crime drama, deckbuilding, and strategy gameplay. To top it off, it’s somewhat run-down but brims with a peculiar, irresistible charm. As the former yakuza Michi, portrayed by Takaya Kuroda (known for his rich voice that gave life to the Like a Dragon hero Kazuma Kiryu), you’ll operate from a seedy and deteriorated love hotel. Alongside Pinky, a mascot reminiscent of a severed finger, you’ll gather a team of eccentric mascots to deploy for work.

What makes these mascots unique is that they aren’t humans in costumes; instead, they are living, active beings. Ranging from a business-suited cat to an opened-up eel resembling unagi, and including a weeping tofu block, a peculiar egg adorned with jam, a spooky ghostly entity, and a melodious yellow bird donning mini black boots, there’s a diverse array of them. Of course, there are many more, each one oddly charming yet slightly disturbing. They require quite a bit of attention too, as they often find themselves in situations that need to be addressed promptly to avoid any financial losses. Meet Michi, who takes on the role of ‘The Janitor,’ known for his proficiency in tidying up messes.

As a game enthusiast diving into the world of Promise Mascot Agency, my main task is managing contracts, bonuses, and scheduling time off for an adorable fleet of mascots. I dispatch them to gigs to generate income, but there’s more than meets the eye in this town. The grumpy old mayor poses a challenge, and the abandoned mines hold secrets that need uncovering. The locals, Kaso-Michi residents, often come to me for help. Before long, I find myself funneling funds from my debt towards town renovations, reviving the dilapidated train station, breathing life back into the gaming center, and illuminating the gloom with vibrant red lantern streetlights. It turns out that the secret to prosperity lies in passive income, primarily through support mascots managing things in various locations outside of town and agency upgrades, which streamline operations. Eventually, I can sell merchandise to my growing fan base, raking in even more cash.

In my experience as a passionate player, just like the old saying goes, you need to invest money to generate more, but at some point, you must funnel a significant portion of your earnings back home to appease the stern Matriarch of the Shimazu family, who’s being held captive by a rival clan. This leaves you with limited resources, making the core gameplay loop crucial. You’re tasked with deciding which mascots to deploy at venues, considering their unique skills to maximize profits, while ensuring they have enough energy and drive.

To minimize mishaps, I often equip them with support items. However, even with these precautions, incidents can still occur. My mascot might get trapped in a door, trip down stairs, take a blast from a faulty vending machine, or knock over an unstable stage setup. In such cases, I have to jump in and resolve the situation quickly. It’s a thrilling balancing act that keeps me hooked!

In this part of the game, your collection of cards is useful. You’ll use a set of support characters who will act when you strategically pick the right ones to play, considering their stats, to tackle the issue at hand. It’s not too challenging since it’s just a short mini-game, although it can become slightly annoying, especially when repeated often. The game becomes much smoother once you buy the fast travel system and start upgrading Michi’s old truck with extra boost abilities, wings for gliding, a motor to make it seaworthy, and a cannon to fire Pinky as a projectile. As more profitable jobs open up with each level increase, money accumulates faster, and the game really shines.

As a gamer, I found myself immersed in an intriguing genre blend that’s hard to categorize: Promise Mascot Agency. Despite its seemingly disparate elements, this game somehow harmoniously intertwines crime drama, mascot management, destruction, and collection. Over the course of 18 hours, I found myself drawn into every nook and cranny of the game, engaging in every possible activity (and trust me, that’s not an exaggeration).

The appeal of Promise Mascot Agency lies in its uniqueness. Developed by Kaizen Game Works, this experience offers a constant stream of tasks, making it impossible to ever feel bored. While repetition can set in occasionally, the strange allure and compelling nature of Michi and Pinky’s journey to establish a thriving mascot business, evade the curse of Kaso-Michi, and revitalize a neglected town is hard to resist.
