What it is
TUN TOWN is a role-playing game by Softstar Entertainment, originally released in 1998. Its cartoon-style story follows Lele, a resident of Wood Barrel Town who returns after five years away and investigates a strange atmosphere surrounding the town. Lele can speak with animals as well as fight, and gathers companions to face forces threatening the community and resolve mysterious events. Combat involves using strategy to defeat enemies, with animals able to join the battles alongside people. The Steam listing marks the game as single-player and includes Steam Cloud and Family Sharing. It is listed for Windows on Steam, while the broader platform list also includes DOS. The game is only available in Chinese, a key consideration for anyone deciding whether its story and menus will work for them.

Who it suits
It suits players comfortable with Chinese-language RPGs, especially those interested in a cartoon-style town mystery and battles with human and animal allies.
TUN TOWN puts a town mystery and strategic battles at the center of its RPG setup. Its Chinese-only availability is an important limitation for players who need another language.
