I'm enjoying it so far. Beware going into it though: Combat is a bit more complicated but I would say much, much more fun than other mon games once you get used to it. I still don't know what the 3 acronyms on the attack stats actually mean, but this is how i understand them: BP = Battle Power (Base damage before stats) TP = Turn Points (Your speed gives you pips that indicate how many TP you can spend before the opponent's turn) CP = Constitution Points (Each attack can only be used so many times per fight before struggle damage, prevents spam) Also the character Attributes: HP = Health Str = Damage for "Brutal" attacks Mag = Damage for "Magical" attacks Speed = Crit Rate + TP per turn Wis = Luck (chance to learn new moves from enemies, crit rate, etc.) Also protip: Don't prestige a character right away (pressing the C button on their stats page), go to max level first. You can only prestige a limited number of times before needing to sacrifice the mon through the breeding system (basically a prestige system where you sac two mons for 1 baby mon)

The team building that you can do in this game has a great variety of creatures to choose from. Even some of the starters have split evolutions which makes it so that choosing the same one won't feel the same. Which is great because the 10 save slots that the game offers allows you to not lose any of your favorite team combination's saves. This also isn't mentioning the several different challenge modes the game has to offer that I personally haven't even touched yet. The battle mechanics are interesting and are explained very well in game as you talk to some of the NPCs. Once you get the hang of the battle system you can really start to develop some fun strategies. What I think is the coolest battle mechanic is that if you have a decent 'Wisdom' stat, you monster can learn a move from the opponent it's facing if it has used the move multiple times. More for the monster customization, your monster as it levels up gets its stats increased, as well as 'Potential Points'. These are used to enhance your monster's stats of your choosing even further! That in addition to the equipment that you can attach to them with the 5 equipment slots given, you can create some insanely strong monsters. Although I haven't finished the game yet, overall it has been an absolute blast to play and is one of my favorite games I've gotten to play that isn't a generic sports game or Pokemon itself! EDIT: I even had to edit this review because I forgot to mention while I was boasting about how fun the main game was, they have a TCG side game that you can play that is actually pretty fun! You can buy packs (with in game currency) and build decks and it's actually a fun little side part of the game! EDIT 2: I took a break from the game for a while before I had come close to beating it, not for boredom reasons, but for downloading games to play with friends and didn't have enough space reasons. However, coming back to this game and seeing all the updates made and different features that were either added in, or I just didn't get to yet, are insanely cool! I have played this game for almost 30 hours over the past 3 or 4 days now because I just can't put it down. I believe new evolutions to some of the monsters were implemented which is awesome. There is a system where you can swap moves between your monsters for a price, which offers such insane monster building strategies to the point where even if you use the same monster, you can play with that same monster in a completely different way. Although it does contradict one of the features of the 'Wisdom' stat, it's far enough into the game where it doesn't make that feature pointless, which is just great game design. I can't rave enough about this game, this is truly a gem of a game. I love the story, especially the ending of the game is so phenomenal and threw me for a loop. I love this game so much. It's honestly a legit 10/10 game in my eyes.

Closer to a digimon sort of game than pokemon, but enjoyable regardless of its inspiration. The sprite work is a little hard to read at times, but most of the monsters are pretty cute and/or cool in their own way. About 30ish hours on the first playthrough to hit the credits, and it's usually pretty good about pointing you in the right direction so there's not much aimless wandering. Packed with a surprising amount of variety to it and a lot of little nooks to explore and find upgrades and even its own little internal TCG. The status effects and interactions can be a little obtuse at times, but you can always just level up and bulldoze through it if you don't want to worry about it too much. Grinding never felt required in the playthrough. If you run into a wall there's probably somewhere else you can go. Overall a good game.

Fantastic little monster collector RPG. Set in a pixel art digital world with a pretty good story and a lot of interesting characters. The combat and monster training are where it truly shines though. The bosses can be a bit rough, but nothing you can't power through with grinding, items, or other tricks.
