unlabelledView post →I know everyone will talk about the Ys and Trails games (which they should for good reason), but Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure is such a cute and fun game!
unlabelledView post →Gurumin is two (2) smackaroos right now, and in my opinion, it's the best two (2) smackaroos you could spend on a game!
unlabelledView post →Bad news, I was testing tomorrow's game in OBS and it refuses to be captured like a wily ghost. Good news, that means Gurumin is back on the menu bababaieieieiieieiieieieiei!!!!
unlabelledView post →...Yeah, I love how quirky this game is with its characters and aesthetic but from a gameplay standpoint it's... kind of dull. #JarkesPlays #Gurumin
unlabelledView post →I wish someday falcom can make more tons fun and cute game again like Gurumin and Zwei!!
unlabelledView post →The video gives us a glimpse at early UI and the like for these games but some of them look pretty different. Gurumin, for example, has some kind of quick time event that plays out when attacking enemies, which is not in the final game. Here is a link to the catalog: archive.org/details/falc...
unlabelledView post →122) Gurumin 3D: A Monstrous Adventure Another 2DS backlog game beaten. I think this one might be a hidden gem for the system. This one has some great platforming and combat mechanics and a cute story as well. Aside from some camera issues this game is fun. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social
unlabelledView post →Bring back Themes for the Nintendo Switch 2 then I'll be Capital E Excited. I want my console to be a device of colorful gaming whimsy again, I'm not joking. 3ds was the peak of self expression. Miis, sharing your game on streetpass. Gurumin theme. It had it all.
unlabelledView post →27. I wouldn't call it underrated, but definitely underexplored, Xanadu Next is a great game with a lot of depth, just a bit more challenging than your usual fare. Gurumin is definitely underrated, classic banger.
unlabelledView post →Not sure how much we have left to go, but join me to probably finish up Gurumin in an hour~? Plus we'll choose what retro game we'll be tackling next, so be sure to pop in with some suggestions! (current lean is maybe my first RPG ever, sorcerer's kingdom for the genesis)
unlabelledView post →still working my way through SMT: Strange Journey Redux but I've been picking at Black Rock Shooter The Game (PSP) on the side. very 2010's vibe, I like the action RPG system with contained combat encounters plans to get to 3rd Birthday, Gurumin, and Metal Gear Acid when I can

unlabelledView post →PLEASE BUY GURUMIN! Parin is worth every penny on her own, but the game is also lots of fun!

unlabelledView post →(looks it up) Oh wow, Gurumin was the first Falcom game directed by Takayuki Kusano, who would later direct Ys The Oath in Felghana, Tokyo Xanadu, and the entirety of the Trails of Cold Steel arc, plus Trails into Reverie. ...Well, everyone's gotta start somewhere before they get REALLY good.
unlabelledView post →Nice you have that game too! 😃 Other games I played on 3DS are Gurumin, Tomodachi Life, BlazBlue, Monster Hunter 3, Warioware Gold,...and many more😁
unlabelledView post →(old art/wip from last month) Last month I ended up playing a cute psp game called [Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure] her name is Parin. I decided to also draw some fanart of her ❤♡❤♡ ☆ミshe's so cute 😭 #art #ぐるみん #gurumin #fanart

unlabelledView post →Getting some dinner and then I'll set up for stream! Might be Gurumin, might be Honse game to see if I can scrape by to stay in the top 1800 for the team trial promotion! Either way, like 9:30 eastern!
unlabelledView post →Gurumin is a cozy action game that I consider a hidden gem from Falcom’s library. It had an old PC release and was also on the PSP and 3DS. Nowadays you can just simply play it on Steam for dirt cheap. It’s well worth your time!
unlabelledView post →Thank you all for tuning in as I started up Gurumin! I didn't know what to expect out of this game going into it, but I like it a lot so far! Thanks to all the new followers, and to @farimere.bsky.social, @coolboyny.bsky.social, and @bigfattyplus.bsky.social for the raids!
unlabelledView post →i think the next game im going to play on stream is going to be Gurumin A monstrous adventure
unlabelledView post →Gurumin I honestly don't think this game ever gets the love it deserves. It's adorable, a fun little action rpg romp that feels like it should be on the Dreamcast, in the best way possible.
unlabelledView post →finished Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure for the first time and it was such a charming and endearing game for my completionist brain to obsess over....... if you like mid-2000s action platformers with weird ass mechanics this is definitely for you
unlabelledView post →GURUMIN SHOULD BE ON HERE....... game that shaped so much of my artistic sensibilities about cute lil monsters and big gay fish monsters
unlabelledView post →I've played every Falcom game available in English on Steam, and have beaten nearly all of them, with the exceptions of Zwei 1 and 2, Gurumin and Nayuta. I loved every second of it, and I would not wish that time back for anything. I really hope that the EGGCONSOLE releases get localizations.
unlabelledView post →New review for Gurumin, an action-adventure game with a very notable NPC (not for great reasons) www.mmmreviews.com/gurumin-a-mo...
unlabelledView post →Thank you so much! ❤️ Gurumin holds a special place in my heart, and for a time I drew *so* much fanart for it ahaha. And yeah, the game should be on the Switch, absolutely!
unlabelledView post →24. Gurumin! A cutesy PSP game! Love the charm from this game so much. It's also on PC, you should get it!
unlabelledView post →Started playing "Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure" per @toskarin.bsky.social's recommendation and I'm immediately in love. This is the exact kind of cute, soulful, charmingly janky little b-game I'm always looking for. Please give me more recs if you have them, I can't get enough of this stuff
unlabelledView post →...So why does this game have a different Falcom logo than the usual one when you start it up anyway? Especially since the usual one is on the title screen... (Ys VI also had this alternate logo IIRC) #JarkesPlays #Gurumin
unlabelledView post →I’m so glad I played Gurumin. What a cute and fun game. It has one of the worst mini games I’ve ever played, and some early bosses weren’t great, but I enjoyed the story and it was fun 100%-ing the stages.
unlabelledView post →New video! My journey through the Falcom catalogue of games continues with the action RPG/3D platformer Gurumin. Is this game worth your time and money? Come find out. youtu.be/IK2aPVuToas?...

unlabelledView post →NEW PLAYTHROUGH ALERT! On Monday, I'd have two nickels if I got one every time I played a game starring a girl with a drill: It's Gurumin - A Monstrous Adventure! Been on the backlog for quite a while, now it's coming to the stream! Hope to see you there! #Vtuber #vsky
unlabelledView post →3. Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure Fun, short goofy oomfie game, definitely a slept on Falcom banger, gameplay and characters are fun and the music is actually insanely good and I would put it in a high tier of old falcom osts.
unlabelledView post →Made a drawing of Parin from Gurumin! It was a very cute game, I am very glad to finally sit down and play it!
unlabelledView post →126 is a typically excellent Falcom Sound Team jdk track from Gurumin, a game that I want to like but is hampered by iffy controls and an extremely creepy NPC. This is some extremely chill music, though.
unlabelledView post →Gurumin 3D, aka the first game I ever played where there's only a female playable character but you also get to name her which like, got me super excited back in 2016 for no reason in particular and then on top of that it's an awesome game with a great soundtrack so like, thanks for the egg crack
unlabelledView post →I need a new Gurumin-esque game as well, but I also want more people to experience the 80s and 90s of Falcom games. Some of them are really really good
unlabelledView post →47. Guruguru Tonight ~ Gurumin Amazing intro to an amazing lil PSP game
unlabelledView post →Gurumin is a very cozy game. Except that one character who pervs on your very clearly underage main character. But he can be safely ignored.
unlabelledView post →Gurumin is actually super fun, might have actually been my first Falcom game actually, because I did not know it was Falcom until recently.
unlabelledView post →Gurumin was a game I bought on the PSP back in 2011 out of sheer curiosity, and it has since stuck with me, especially the music.
unlabelledView post →Going live with more Gurumin (PC). Awesome game, maybe can finish it today. Really excited to try more Falcom games twitch.tv/kaylagator #stream #retrogaming
unlabelledView post →I've tried to play ZWEI and it's just such a rough experience IMO. The only other Falcom action game worth giving a shot is Gurumin IMO.
unlabelledView post →Funny how I can sleep so peacefully when left home alone. Well I'm going to start off stream with Gurumin. Pretty certain that I'm very near the end game. Going to play Mewgenics afterwards if I got time~ - www.twitch.tv/jojojosey -
unlabelledView post →*sip sip* Mm cawfee--oh right. It's time for some more Mewgenics and then I'll be switching into Gurumin! I'm pretty confident that I'm nearing the end of the game~ (not in mewgenics; with MY luck? Ha.) - www.twitch.tv/jojojosey -
