Long story short, as is the point of the Gist: this is a really good game, with excellent artwork and a fantastically simple combat mechanic, which was heavily screwed by Ubisoft. The servers are tempestuous, the game releases your IP to the match host so they can (and do) use DOS attacks on you if they’re the pathetic sort and it’s riddled with microtransactions despite being full price.
Cassava came to my attention for two reasons, recently.
One: Okay I forget but it stuck in my head because I used a similar word, Kassavar, in my short CYOA The Night of the Wolf and the Sellsword.
Two: It gets mentioned in the TV show Death In Paradise.
So when it came to Gist time and I realised it was an angiosperm like the humble Strawberry, it seemed a fitting theme. I’ve never eaten Cassava and never will because of the FACTS.

I thought I’d expand the Gist to original characters, so’s I wasn’t limited to game reviews. I can do other gags too, now!
Though I’m not the best at inventing characters. Look up to behold.
Yes, that’s all the explanation you’re getting.
Whuuut, etc.
