Egglia: Legend of the Redcap - a bit of everything - that works

Usually when you are presented with a game you're told that is RPG, Adventure, FPS, Dash and so on. Or o combo of two.
Egglia, recently landed in the mobile world of games, is a mix of genres. It is mainly a city building with RPG features, or a RPG with city building features, no matter what side you're looking from, is the same.
A fantasy board like game (yah you read it right, it is also board like) reveals a beautiful realm with all the assets of a childhood story.

And it's a wonderful story. Along with the characters and the dialogues it makes for the best part of the game. Which means there is a lot to read. But is worth. It is funny, and quirky, and charming. You play as a Redcap goblin who lost his horns and along with them the bad temper. In the true classic quests manner you're meeting a sum of fantasy creatures who have requests and are able to help, like fairies, elves, gnomes that are DYI Masters and can build everything, or a talking Aloe Vera.

The Menu is quite large and involves managing a lot of sections, with items needed for crafting, powering up your Spirits team, gifting, furniture for your house, and so. The city building / management part is quite consistent and requires getting used with all the goings. This part and the gifting plus companions system, that enhances your relation with the NPCs, reminds me a lot of Wandering Willows.

The RPG part includes a classic elemental party of Spirits that helps you with the battles, with a mana support, and turn based fighting. Various Spirits combo offers a special power up link. The movements are going by rolling the dice, like for any common board game, on an isometric-hexagons layout. 
Yup I know there is a lot going on inside this. But it is all a matter of practice. Sooner than you think the town and the beings routine will become your daily routine. It's a very catchy experience that makes everything joyful and doesn't feel like a chore.
The small details, like the way you attract the spirits with their favourite meal - they are true gourmets, they don't eat junk food - are completing this picture.
Yes there is a mix of almost everything, like a weird hotpot, but it impressively works. Each bit fits perfectly like the pieces of a magical puzzle. 
And it is also a relaxing adventure, that allows you to play in your own pace, and time. It simply flows naturally.
It may not be on your taste, but is worth trying. You may be surprised. Tastes can change. For me is a keeper. Enjoy.
