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.
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.
Nintendo Life: 8 / 10 by Morgan Sleeper
All in all, Ambition of the Slimes is a lovable little game. It takes a classic concept — the grid-based strategy-RPG — and infuses it with a fun new conceit, by placing characters in the role of the lowly Slimes that would be experience-point fodder in any other RPG. Even better, it runs with that idea to deliver fun twists on the gameplay — like the 'Claim' command that lets you take over your enemies — that make the most of the theme. Add in a fun old-school presentation and a heap of personality, and Slimes is an easy recommendation for SRPG fans looking for quick, quirky fun.

Ambition of the Slimes is a decent game to play, but it does have some noticeable faults as well.
