The last 6 years of this game being in development were definitely not put to waste - this fan game is really goddamn good. The mon selection is really diverse and interesting (so many of them are actual viable mons), the new mechanics are interesting and engaging, the music is fantastic (there's a legendary theme that feels like it was written for me), there are some absolute banger special areas (not spoiling them in this review you'll have to play the game yourself for them), and the writing inspires joy. Even if you don't know Vinesauce lore you'll probably still enjoy this, I think.
