Review:

(Note: All of the games in this bundle are included in multiple other bundles. I highly recommend you compare and contrast bundle contents using the handy chart on this page.)

Fashion Gals: 3 in 1 Bundle!, released on Nintendo Switch in 2022, is a Compilation containing three games, all released separately on Nintendo Switch in 2022. All three games have a “fashion” theme, and Arcade-style gameplay inspired by the classic game Qix.

I have separately reviewed these games. Here is what I thought of each of the games in this collection:

Game	Genre	# of Players	Score
Fashion Friends	Arcade	1	D
tl;dr Fashion Friends is an Arcade-style game that copies the Qix gameplay formula of drawing lines to create shapes to fill in the screen and reveal the girls’ outfits while avoiding enemies. This game even brings some good ideas to this classic gameplay, but then it ruins them with terrible controls and other issues that will result in players repeatedly getting killed due to stuff out of their control. This game had the potential to be so much better, but with these problems I simply cannot recommend this to anyone.
Fashion Girls	Arcade	1	D

In short, all three of these are basically the same game, a knockoff of Qix with bad controls and some really frustrating mechanics that make it really frustrating to play.

Okay, so the games suck, but maybe this bundle makes them worth getting by being a really good value? Ha, no. At $24, this bundle saves players a whole $1 off the cost of getting these games separately. And I don’t see any indication that this bundle has ever gone on sale, even though the individual games have each dropped to $2. What’s more, this publisher has multiple other bundles that include these three games plus numerous others, and those bundles have dropped to $2. So why spend more to get less, even if you’ve resolved to get these crappy games?

I’ll make it easy on you: don’t get Fashion Gals: 3 in 1 Bundle!. The games are bad, the bundle is a bad deal, and there are countless other bundles by this publisher containing the same games (plus a bunch more). As such, this bundle is a complete waste of money.

tl;dr – Fashion Gals: 3 in 1 Bundle! is a Compilation containing Fashion Friends, Fashion Girls, and Fashion Princess, three Arcade-style fashion-themed games with gameplay styled like the classic game Qix. However, these are terrible copycats, the bundle doesn’t really provide any savings, and this same publisher has other bundles with more games for a lower price. There is no reason you should buy this waste of money.
