Oh, dragonseeds…There’s clearly a great monster raising sim under all this cheap jank. The game is basically a city themed series of menus all around raising and battling monsters. They call them dragons but apparently fairies and golems count too.

There is no professor oak here. No tutorial, no guide, nothing, and it expects you finish cloning, raising, and equipping a dragon on your own No idea what the buttons do in a battle. Raising stats requires esoteric mini games I legitimately cannot figure out. Forced to pick a type and dna strands for your first dragon with zero context at all.

But the gameplay is a turn based fighting game, and that is a wild and cool idea. You issue 2 commands and both monsters do them simultaneously, with speed influencing which resolves and how. There’s a sort of sword/reflect/special rock paper scissors but also a distance measurement where you can move around as one of your two actions. I want to learn how this game works but damn it isn’t easy.
