The story in Ambition of the Slimes for PC, 3DS and etc. focuses on the race of small monster slimes. Such monsters are the basic type of opponents during the early stages of campaigns in majority of Japanese role-playing games. In Ambition of the Slimes they lived peacefully until one day humans arrived at their territories and started murdering everyone on their way. The slimes weren’t able to fight back this threat. However, after some time they discovered that they can enter human bodies and control them. With this skill they decided to counterattack.
The unusual plot was transformed into a tactical role-playing game with a turn-based combat system. During the game the player is mostly participating in fights that, thanks to the skills of the slimes, are quite unusual. Instead of fighting, the slimes are taking control over their enemies and then they use the bodies to attack other people. The monsters are divided into a few types, each with unique traits. In addition to regular slimes, there are slimes that can teleport, increase statistics of controlled enemies or ones that can control even the strongest foes.

Game Ratings for Ambition of the Slimes Video Game.
Use a Potion: 6.8 / 10 by Daryl Leach
There really is a lot to like about Ambition of the Slimes, but the harsh difficulty and over dependence on grinding prevent it from standing out as a little tactical-RPG gem. There were too many times during the game where I felt like I came to a complete halt because of some brutal level, whilst the time spent replaying previous levels to improve myself felt like it could’ve been spent doing something a bit better. Still, there’s no denying Ambition of the Slimes has a lot of charm and there’s certainly fun to be had. It’s not the sort of game you can sit and put hours upon hours into in one go, but if you pick it up every now and then you’ll have a good time working out the best way to conquer each level. Add to that the low L4.99 price point and I’m sure that tactical-RPG fans will enjoy this quirky little title.

NintendoWorldReport: 8 / 10 by David Lloyd
Looking past the aesthetic issues, Ambition of the Slimes provides a unique and fresh experience for strategy combat enthusiasts. Elements I thought would feel redundant actually added to the layers of complexity that made the game all that more interesting. One word of caution, if you have a particularly sensitive gag reflex you may want to close your eyes and cover your ears that first time your Slime finds its way into the throat of its opponent.
