Plot
Before the game, a person who rid of their face becomes the Dark Curse. This Curse takes control of an innocent person, who then turns into the Dark Lord, who then takes a bunch of peoples faces and the puts them on monsters! Your Mii witnesses this happen, and gets attacked by a butterfly. Your Mii flees into Greenhorne, and meets the townspeople. However, the Dark Lord strikes again and takes people's faces. It is your job to get all the faces back, save Miitopia, and stop the Dark Lord from taking everyone's faces!

Why It's The Epic Face-Off

 * 1) Just like Tomodachi Life, you get to put your Miis in this game. However, you can use your Tomodachi Life data to put the Miis from the game, so you won't have to end up using Mii Maker nor creating a new Mii.
 * 2) The game features a lighthearted yet deep story, with hilarious moments, and sometimes it even gets a little sad.
 * 3) There are 2 endings:
 * 4) Break the Curse: After the final fight, you have the choice of destroying or reviving the Dark Curse. If you choose to destroy the Dark Curse, the Curse thanks you and then the game ends.
 * 5) Save him: After the final battle, if you choose to save the Curse, you must give them a face, and the Curse goes on to redeem themselves. The game then ends. This ending is very creative, and fits with the game's main theme.
 * 6) Relationships can really help out with hard enemies. Better yet, the game allows you to become soulmates with Miis of the same gender, unlike Tomodachi Life.
 * 7) Absolutely wonderful, appealing and very nice graphics by Nintendo 3DS standards, and even better graphics thanks to the Switch port.
 * 8) The idea of someone stealing faces in order to place them on monsters is pretty interesting.
 * 9) If you ever want to speed up through the game, there is an option called "Autobattle", which is where your main Mii chooses a random attack, which is great for speedrunning and/or backtracking.
 * 10) When you defeat an enemy or a boss, you can get food to feed your Miis.
 * 11) You can use amiibo to unlock special items and costumes, from Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Animal Crossing, Splatoon, and more.
 * 12) You can also use sprinkles to help your Miis to battle if you're struggling in a tough battle.
 * 13) Goofy and wacky soundtrack that is fun to listen to.
 * 14) Most of the boss battles are really awesome and feels more comfortable.
 * 15) Once the game is beaten, you can unlock two extra maps areas, Galados Isle and New Lumos, just so you can beat enemies and earned rewards.
 * 16) You can wear and change outfits for your Miis to upgrade your powerful stats. Some are also really good, like the Sacred Armor.
 * 17) The jobs are original and interesting that has different powers, abilities, and stats:
 * 18) * Default jobs for the first world
 * 19) ** Warrior: Warrior is a knight that focuses on single-target damage and party defense. Boasting high HP, Attack, and Defense, the Warrior is the perfect physical party member, but lacks Speed and Magic. The Warrior's default attack is single-target only and extra skills are very creative. Also, most of all, this can be useful what they can.
 * 20) ** Mage: Mage is a wizard that focuses on high single and multi-target magic damage. With a large MP pool and high Magic, Mages can use magic skills that deal great damage to the enemies. Mage's default attack is single-target only. Additionally, their extra skills are used for magic.
 * 21) ** Cleric: Cleric is a staff-wielding that focuses on party healing and reviving allies. With a high pool of MP and high speed and magic, the Cleric often manages to heal their fellow party members at the beginning of the turn. The Cleric's default attack is single-target only.
 * 22) ** Thief: Thief is a robber that focuses on area-of-effect damage and enemy disruption. With extremely high Speed and decent HP and MP, the Thief is the party's confounder of enemies and stealer of snacks alike. The Thief's default attack hits all enemies, but the strength progressively weakens as it goes down the line.
 * 23) ** Pop Star: Pop Star is a singer that focuses on party support and area-of-effect damage. Unlike other jobs that have at least 30 different gears, Pop Stars have 17 Outfits and 17 Threads. The choice in gear is not gender locked, thus a male Mii may wear outfits if the player chooses the job "Female Pop Star", and vice versa. With a high pool of HP and MP as well as plenty of support abilities, the Pop Star will certainly be a big hit with the party. Pop Star's default attack hits all enemies, but the strength progressively weakens as it goes down the line.
 * 24) ** Chef: Chef is a cooking job that focuses on healing and single-target damage. With high attack and defense, the Chef is able to heal his/her allies while also dishing out some damage. But better watch out, their gonna give your Miis to taste spicy and they will get mad for no reason.
 * 25) * Jobs unlocked after clearing Greenhorne
 * 26) ** Cat: Cat is a pet that focuses on high damage and minor MP recovery. With high Attack and Speed, the Cat is able to use multi-hit attacks and strength boosts to deal damage, while also being able to self heal and cure own status effects.
 * 27) ** Imp: Imp is a devil that focuses on magic damage and tampering with enemies. The Imp can do serious damage and can not only steal HP and MP from enemies, but also lower their defenses. The Imp can also recover teammates' MP and put a positive status effect on them.
 * 28) ** Scientist: Scientist is a job that focuses on area-of-effect attacks and supporting allies. The Scientist is able to use skills to hit multiple enemies, while helping allies by giving them attack buffs, HP drain attacks, and even status effect immunity.
 * 29) * Jobs unlocked after clearing Neksdor
 * 30) ** Tank: Tank is a vehicle that focuses on high physical damage and high defenses. The Tank is all about pure physical offense and defense. However, its reckless attitude causes other party members to become annoyed, meaning you must be careful when using the Tank as it can cause a lot of resentment. Because of this, they are best when paired up with a Pop Star, due to their Love & Peace skill.
 * 31) ** Princess: Princess is a job that focuses on afflicting status effects and MP Recovery. The Princess's abilities specializes in healing ally MP, afflicting status conditions to enemies, as well as guarding party from negative status effects. Your female Miis can choose this job.
 * 32) ** Flower: Flower is a type of plant that focuses on healing allies and moderate magic damage, unlocked after clearing Neksdor. A hybrid of Cleric and Mage, the Flower specialises in healing and recovery while also dealing moderate amounts of magical damage.
 * 33) * Jobs unlocked with charms
 * 34) ** Vampire: Vampire is a monster that is a secret job in Miitopia. They are a very powerful class that has different elemental attacks and can steal HP. It is unlocked by obtaining the Bat Charm, which can be found by helping a Vampire in the Travelers' Hub, specifically the quest where the boss is a Pop-Up Puppet. When hit physically, if they have the Curse ability, they can cause half damage they took to the enemy who attacked them, as well as having a chance of reviving on their own after dying. The Vampire's default attack hits all enemies, but the strength progressively weakens as it hits more enemies. Vampires also by far have the largest max HP and can deal both strong physical and magic attacks. Their main drawback though is that they are also one of the slowest jobs aside from the Tank job, typically moving after everyone else on the battlefield (including monsters) has had a turn.
 * 35) ** Elf: Elf is a type that is a secret job in Miitopia. Acquire the Elven Charm to unlock this job. The player can find this at the end of Galados Isle in the secret grotto. The Elf is a "jack-of-all-trades" sort of job; while not as potent, they are capable of doing just about anything that any of the other jobs can do. They can attack one or all enemies, deal splash damage, put up barriers, counter direct attacks, and even heal HP AND MP. Their main drawback, however, is their sluggish speed and low max HP. They will need to be healed far more often than most other jobs.
 * 36) * As the result, once the Dark Lord steals the protagonist's companions and renders the protagonist without a class, you can choose the job that is unlocked. Afterwards, you can continue the job back because they were "too strong". You also add teams into the game and then moved to Villa that opens up immediately post final boss that holds up to 90 Mii characters.

Nintendo 3DS Version

 * 1) It's really easy to share Miis in this version. Just search up the name of the Mii, and you're good to go. If you're lazy, you can also just have the game do it for you.

Nintendo Switch Version

 * 1) The Switch port adds new content, like...
 * 2) A makeup and wig feature, which allows you to customize your Miis even further.
 * 3) * This was most likely the most hyped up addition of the Switch port. This feature was memed to the underworld and back.
 * 4) A Horse joining your party, who is really overpowered,
 * 5) A Tower of Despair, which is a harder version of The Tower of Dread.
 * 6) The graphics for the Switch Version were massively improved. They reworked the lighting, and the game looks just as good as any other first party game on the Switch.
 * 7) Because of the Switch demo, you can share as many Miis as you want, even if you don't own the game.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Some may find the fact that the Miis are eating parts from the enemies after defeating them a bit morbid.
 * 2) Just like Tomodachi Life, this game has relationships, such as a best friend. This also means the same thing, fighting. However, it isn't as hard as Tomodachi Life. All you need to do is to put the foes in the same room and they will forgive each other.
 * 3) Your Miis can't speak in full English or other languages unlike in Tomodachi Life.
 * 4) Just like with Tomodachi Life, you have only one save the profile. If you wanna create a new profile, you have to delete the current profile and then restart the game and lose the memories.
 * 5) *Though, this can be bypassed on the Switch version by making multiple user accounts.
 * 6) You don't get a reward nor a cutscene for completing the Tower of Dread.
 * 7) A few monsters are clones of their original counterparts, but only recolored and made stronger, some may even be resized if the original enemy is small or large.
 * 8) It is really annoying when the Dark Lord steals the protagonist's companions, as you are forced to start from square one (with the exception of the protagonist's levels) to acquire new companions, which happens three times throughout the game. Thankfully, you can get them all back later before the halfway mark.
 * 9) *What gets even more annoying is when the team gets split up into two due to some boulders.
 * 10) After rescuing all of your teammates, the sickness feature is unlocked, which means Miis can be sick at random. This can be annoying, as you are unable to level up or feed your Miis. Thankfully, they will feel better again either at random or whenever another Mii checks in on the sick Mii and their relationship increases.
 * 11) *What gets even more annoying is that the hero can get sick during post game which quite frustrating and quite unnecessary.
 * 12) Some enemies such as Fiends are quite hard and are nearly impossible to defeat.
 * 13) The Tank Job kind of sucks because they have 0 base speed, and while their attacks do a lot of damage, they may anger others at random.
 * 14) Uncharted Galados is infamously annoying due to its unfair difficulty spike for no reason.

Nintendo Switch Version

 * 1) They removed the ability to look up Miis, which really sucks. It makes adding Miis inconvenient. Instead, you have access codes, but they are inferior to just looking up the Mii you want.
 * 2) While the new additions to the Nintendo Switch port are nice, it doesn't really justify the increase of the game's price to $50 (or more outside of North America) due to there being extra content that does little to change the original, although it gives people a second chance to play the game if they don't have a 3DS or the original version of the game.

Reception
Miitopia received mixed to positive reviews from critics but received generally favorable reviews from users, according to review aggregator Metacritic. The Switch version fared better in terms of reception. The game was also a commercial success, selling over 2 million copies across both versions.
