350k players is criminally low for this game, especially considering it’s on game pass.
It’s not a perfect game, but it’s exceedingly well crafted. And plenty of large studios (starting with Game Freak) should be taking notes on how to do an open world game that doesn’t feel soulless or pointless.
I was thinking about trying it. I’ve always wanted to like Pokemon, but every video of it I’ve watched just makes it seem incredibly childish with the most boring combat system I’ve ever seen.
But, I like the idea of collecting Pokemon and needing to really search to complete a collection. But, I just can’t get past the apparently boring combat.
This cassette theme seems interesting, but is the combat interesting at all?
It’s much better than Pokémon imo, but if you don’t like JRPGs at all you probably won’t enjoy it.
I am surprised it’s not more.
It’s super charming, has many interesting twists on the pokémon formula, a great ost, monster designs are good… it should be up there with other beloved indies.
Well for what it’s worth, this post is somehow the first I’ve heard of this game and I instantly bought it. It looks rad as hell! Idk how this game flew under my radar

Like it or not, Pokemon is far and away the biggest influence on monster tamer games so most games are gonna look similar to it. I’m assuming you’ve probably heard of Shin Megami Tensei (though the gameplay is very un-Pokemonlike) but you might already look into Siralim or Monster Crown

Shin Megami Tensei is a long-running series, though the games are all standalone (think Final Fantasy). I think SMT VI came out in the last 2 years, if you wanted to give it a try.
For a brief idea of it, it’s about convincing demons and spirits to join up with you as you move through some sort of post-apocalyptic world. You then end up fusing various spirits together in order to become stronger.
It’s a series, not a single game. Look at the newest one.
Because people like pokemon that’s why.
There’s plenty of games with “edgy monsters” and I literally always forget them. But a fucking crab with a traffic cone for a shell? I will NEVER forget.
Besides the last franchise that tried to compete with Pokemon on top of adding the edgy monsters was Digimon and that’s…questionable at best.

Shin Megami Tensei and Dragon Quest Monsters come to mind. Both have some edgy designs. Yes, Digimon has some as well.
Not that I even should have spent the time typing this, you’re just being rude so it’s hard to tell if you’re even making a good faith argument. What do you even mean by “Pokemon but with constant crying”?
