I bought this game last night, and i can say this one of the best creature collector games on steam. I really love play Pokemon likes games and collecting it, such as Nexomon Collection, Tem-Tem, Casette Beast, Coromon, Moonstone Island, Ooblets, Monster Crown, Monster Sanctuary, Digimon series, and other creature collecting games... And i would say, this game is really worth u'r money :) For Early Access games this game is really solid, creature design is absolute blast, cute but cool on the same times I hope many people know about this game, buy it and play it Because this game need attention and support :) If you like playing Pokemon, Creature Collector, you musy buy this game :) is awesome --- For Dev, please don't abandon this amazing game, hope you always support and update for new Yaoling in next update I have several requests: 1. Hope we can build house for main character and we can decorate it and upgrade our house 2. We can use flaying skills and fly around world map with our Yaoling, thats would be awesome :) 3. Add more legendary monsters 4. Collectibles Yaoling items/cards drops, makes us more enthusiastic 5. New region like on sky or underwater 6. I play mostly on Steamdeck, i hope you can add zooming function for handheld player, customize UI like we can arrange large text or large ui for handheld player --- Okay thank you so much for making this amazing games dev :) Indies developer is really good right now better than triple a developer, and we must support them :)

Extremely good monster catcher/autobattler, even for being in early access. The designs are cute, the gameplay is fluid, the builds get rather insane. But most of all, you will love this game if you want a monster catcher with endgame mechanics that actually respect your time. I have *never* seen breeding mechanics in a game better than this one. The game is very transparent about how everything works, and allows players who understand all the mechanics to make some crazy critters. The world in the game is beautiful and vibrant, with a comfy soundtrack to keep you company. Anyone who enjoys Monster Catchers OR Auto-Battlers is sure to get something out of Yaoling. [Also, if you come in and are upset about there being no fast combat option, you will unlock it a few hours in, so don't worry] As of writing this, my only big complaint is there isn't much to do late-game other than crazy breeding experiments to make mega op teams, but the next major update is planned to add the Battle Tower, which will hopefully be an endgame timesink.

This game is absolutely amazing, this is THE best autobattler/creature collector on the steam store, I have played several others and this is the greatest, mechanically deep, truely open world excellent example of them all. Extroadinary roster, awesome mechanics. A million times yes. Worth full price, an absolute bargain on sale, grab this in EA to support more content. Totally slept on and easily one of the best creature collectors I have EVER played

Dec. 2024

Has to be one of if not the most coziest games I've ever played in such a terribly long time. Not only is the art style absolutely charming but the sound tract perfectly adds onto each zones ambiance. I can't believe such a gem has gone under the radar and genuinely look forward to each content drop up until full release. Thank you for such a blessing kind developers.

July 2024

There's a lot of good here. The art is fantastic, the world is big, the catalog of collectible creatures is unexpectedly large. Fishing. Little bit of town building. Several little crafting systems. Part time jobs for your minions. The auto combat is going to be hit or miss for people. Some will like it, some won't. It's a style. Know going into this whether you're kosher with the fighting happening mostly without your input. ... You can intervene a bit, with consumable charms that do things like damage enemies, heal, summon things. But for the most part you're just building your team and letting them do the work. Fights last about half a minute on average, at best. Half of that, often enough. The creatures are at once simple and complicated. They have all of one ability each, which isn't exactly a lot. But otherwise you have a full list of stats from the basics of attack and defense to things like size and knockback strength. Growth rates are randomized, talent perks are randomized and have a seemingly large variety with a lot of different and sometimes significant effects. They also have crafting stats, for different things they can do. Some are better at cooking, some at mining, etc. If there's one thing I'd complain about at this point, it's that the game is too easy. At least for the first few hours. You can just thoughtlessly enter combat with whatever you see. Small fry or big scary boss. Sit back and relax. You don't have to put any thought into your lineup, spend any effort finding better versions of creatures, bother with food buffs or using charms. You can literally tab out and write steam reviews while your guys do the fighting. When you're dealing with auto combat, most of the difficulty comes down to preparation. When no preparation is necessary, well... I did eventually end up dying a few times to the tiger boss, which I'm hoping reflects a gradually increasing difficulty.
