I got maybe 3/4 through this one but didn’t have the stamina to finish.
There’s a lot to like here. The game is charming, cute, and well voice acted. There’s monster hunting and monster evolution for team building and all the designs are unique and interesting.
But the combat is a complete mess. You have a team of three (main character, two monsters). Everyone has a couple of skills. Battles play out in real time and involve switching between each character using skills to hit enemy weaknesses and keep everyone healed up. The problem is that it’s hard to see what’s happening, switching characters all the time makes it harder, and it’s just not very much fun.
Other big problems are that the map is a mess and navigating it can be a chore (I recall getting stuck on a quest where I couldn’t find the right tiny land bridge to cross a valey and explored that valley over and over looking).
And lastly leveling up for team is a GRIND. Which if the battle system was fun could be fine but it’s not so it’s bad.
