Coromon

But the fact they couldn't fully make the pc version of the game be it's own thing outside of a garbage mobile port ruins it. UI interface is for mobile devices and too big making the game look horrible on a 2k monitor. Despite being a pc game there is no ui scaling and there many things like the escape menu that just have a big pause button ui element that looks horrible on pc, why would they not fix that by just removing it? Also many features are tied to online making the standalone version that can't connect online miss out on a variety of content (not talking pvp or multiplayer but cosmetics and events) also the "premium currency" that you buy on mobile and is used for a variety of stuff in game is only gotten from these online events and what not. It's really a half-done lazy pc port. The mobile and pc versions should be completely different, not just have the pc version be a slight tweaked bad port of the mobile version.

There are similarities to one of the biggest monster catching/taming game but overall Coromon is different and have different feeling. It's intresting story and way different premise from what monster catching/taming games I have played. Gameplay is turn-based combat of course, which if you like you will like this game. One day I noticed update adding 2x game speed and I was suprised that mostly single player game is getting updates. Well there is multiplayer which isn't active because multiplayer is only accesible from specific area from single-player. Maybe multiplayer should have been accesible from main menu or pause menu so you would be able to access multiplayer no matter where you are in single-player and without losing progress. Of course there are options to start multiplayer outside of the game, but then I doubt that is good multiplayer implemention if methods outside of the game is only option to play multiplayer. Overall it's fun game. And I wonder if you will be able to transfer Coromon to future games if or when there will be future games.

First of all, this game is good! From the start page you can already see all the options and all the customization the game allows, with a lot of them being QoL. The game is beautiful and has good musics. The animations are solid (and can be sped up!!). It is different from the pocket monster games, from the hidden stats that are not hidden in this game (and also are improvable) to the different types and elements in it. This allows Coromon to feel fresh and unique in its own way. However, I do not like some of these differences. For example, the wildlife battles were multiple enemies spawn (up to three when I stopped), and you only send one Coromon in battle. This is part of a core problem I have with this game, it's difficulty. I ran away from pretty much no battles, having my Coromons being quite overleved, and yet I felt like I was struggling. Maybe this game expects me to grind, but it's not my cup of tea. And I am too much of a hoarder to spend all my resources (health and energy recovery items) in the first fifth of the game. Also, I felt like the game's "dungeons" (the cave and the tower on the island to be precise (without spoiling)) were way too long. I'm abandoning this game, as I don't like it enough to go on with it. However, for all the monster tamers fans out here, I would recommend trying this game out.

Really an enjoyable game if you liked early gen Pokemon. PIxel graphics look great and there's a solid variety of moves/coromon so far, Unfortunately, playing on Linux (through wine) there seems to be a fair number of freezes and crashes which really suck if you haven't saved in a while. Not sure if they're Linux specific, or effect other OSes also, but be sure you save you game often (which is good advice in general). Great game though, I continue to play and look forward to playing regardless of the crashes.

Great gate. Minus 1 star because it seems like the GOG version is missing some features - specifically the online features and any cross-save capability. Ways Coromon is worse than Pokemon: Less iconic and recognizable monsters (but still great design). Ways Coromon is better than Pokemon: Less bloat in the types (Why is "bug" a type when everything else is elemental? Do you really need both rock and ground type?) Much less RNG cheese and pointless grind - no messing around with discovering EVs. So many QoL features - changing skills at will, skill flashes not being permanent, running and fast travel available from the start, map modification/traversal skills given to your character (not to a monster that you then need to keep in your party)
