Platforms and Pitfalls Episode 18 - Repetition Mitigation

This month we start something new and exciting! A long form series looking at dominant strategies and how games prevent them. We’ll be doing five episodes about some of the various techniques games use, and then a wrap up episode to finish off! It’s a new format for us to try a multi part series, but we hope you enjoy it!

In this episode, we focus on preventing a player from constantly repeating an action or strategy without altering it. We look at Super Scribblenauts, Bread of the Wild, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Skullgirls Cosmic Star Heroine
