I want to recommend this game because I think the fact that one single guy made it is amazing, but there are far too many shortcomings. If there were a neutral I would pick that. The description promises unique skills for monsters, but unfortunately the skills are all pretty similar and there aren’t many in the game. There is zero motivation to level up monsters, but rather just get new ones in each area, and once you get to the legendary monster point in the game you are overpowered and can just run to end game. There is a lot of grinding and the game plays very slow, and I don’t mind this if the rewards are there but they just aren’t. The maps are boring and its’ basically the same 5-10 monster models running around in circles across all of them, one in each area that may or may not reflect the battle itself. Good loot is hard to come by. The dialogue is excruciatingly slow and cannot be skipped. There are just a ton of improvements that could have been made. It’s not a bad game, but I can’t say it’s good. I’d go for something else.

As it stands right now, it is worth the $10, but not much more. The gameplay is fun! It's really kind of my weakness. Monster collector, grid-based combat, and an interesting story. There are really only three major downfalls. 1) This game is pretty short. I have 22 hours in it, I got all the achievements in two plays through, and I even did some significant grinding the first run through since I turned on perma-death mode. I didn't want to lose any of my monsters! This leads directly into the next downfall. 2) There is very little replayability. I've done my two runs, now I feel like this game will sit in my library indefinitely. It's a bummer, because I really would love to play more. Maybe a sequel? Please? And 3) Once the game is over, it's over. You get the best monsters toward the end of the game, and you start to feel really powerful, then BAM! Game's over. You don't get to play with those monsters anymore. I would love to see a sequel that solves these issues: longer story, more reasons to play multiple times, and post-game play. With that being said, this is definitely worth the price, and if you can catch it on sale, that's an even better reason to pick it up.

Pros: - nice story - creature design and leveling - spell system - crafting system - UI/UX which means that developers actually played games releases in last 30 years Cons: - level cap is reached in mid of game - game is in my opinion too easy but bear in mind I have 10+ years of Heroes of Might and Magic 3 playtime - world feels empty - "adventure map" should display monsters differently like in King's Bounty games Final conslusion is positive and I recommend paying and playing this game. This is no AAA title so cons can be forgiven and is created by small team and they've done very good job.
Невероятное дерьмище
看在它躺在我愿望单这么久的份儿上，我写下了这个评测。 类似口袋妖怪的收集+战棋的对战RPG游戏，我想说我是被这个要素吸引来的。 但是入手以后，发现这款游戏完全就是一个半成品。 排除无中文，这个对我来说并不是什么问题，因为游戏整体很简单，不需要读懂什么就可以轻松上手。 虽然游戏时间很短，但是单调的音乐，蹩脚的战斗动作，以及冗长无味的战斗过程，这些我都还能忍受 但是大地图连换个视角都做不到，让我真的好难受啊！ 我实在是没有继续玩下去的兴趣了。 从17年到现在，3年过去了，制作组如果有心的话，应该会把它完善得更好。 但是它没有。 我是3折入手的，但是让我花时间去玩这个，说实话，我不愿意。 虽然我写评测不多，但我每一个评测都会用心去写，这是我在STEAM上的第一个不推荐。 可能仅仅是因为它不对我的味。 希望对各位能有所帮助。
One of the underrated games! Turn base tactical-capturing RPG. +Monsters variation +Good combat and looting system +Good Story +adequate side quests +Enjoyable capturing,gadering and level up system - Bad Graphics If you enjoy,HOMM,King's Bounty and Disciples style games.Worth the try: 8 out of 10
Wer ca. 10h Spielspaß mit einer Mischung aus Pokemon und Heroes of Might and Magic sucht wird hier auf jeden Fall fündig. Pro und Contra ist hier schnell gefunden: Pros: - Monster sammeln und leveln (incl. neuer Fähigkeiten, Charakter leveln...) - man kann direkt loslegen, zu "lernen" gibt es im Endeffekt nichts Cons: - ca. 10h Spielzeit für alle Haupt- und Nebenquests, obwohl die Hälfte der Zeit aus laufen besteht - UNGLAUBLICH einfacher Schwierigkeitsgrad, welchen man nicht ändern kann - wegen kaum vorhandener Schwierigkeit gibt es leider auch keinen Grund, die paar Items zu verwenden die man so finden kann (außer den "Pokebällen" natürlich), geschweigedenn das kleine Craftsystem zu nutzen - Motivationskurve sinkt sehr schnell, da man im Endeffekt immer das Gleiche macht, dies aber immer einfacher wird Eigentlich ein grundsolides Spiel für zwischendurch, aber eben zu einfach und zu schnell vorbei als dass man den Preis rechtfertigen könnte. Deswegen keine Empfehlung.
Скучная вначале, унылые локации сделанные на коленке вместе с параметрами персонажа. НО более интересная походу развития сюжета.
So it's basically Pokemon as a Grid-Based Combat game. It is pretty bare bones and maybe needs some extra features like a Beast Index to see what Beasts are still missing. Everything is somewhat okay, from character design to music, but nothing really stands out. The combat itself is probably the highlight and it is alright, I just wish the level cap wasn't so low (level 20). You can have up to 7 beasts, but you really want some tank types wich take 2 spaces of those 7. The story is okay, but nothing special. Pretty much a low to mid-tier game, very enjoyable if you like the Pokemon collection thing, but don't expect a masterpiece. Time to finish the game +all side quests and catching almost all beasts: 26,3 hours
Here is some gameplay so you can decide for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrQ2DEVxANw Here are my opinions: PROS: + great concept capturing monsters and fighting with them. An under-tapped market + decent plot. could be better, but have seen much worse + this whole game was created by 1 person alone + team size is decent. wish it was a little bigger, but overall it's fair + pretty easy to pickup and understand the game. traditional RPG aspects, easy tutorial (which you are allowed to skip) + graphics are nice. some nice subtle touches that are impressive from a 1 dev game. CONS: - some of the areas, like the town, are kind of annoyingly large for no reason - no mini-map, so you're constantly running around and tapping M - requires 2 gameplay runs to get 100% achievements - not a large selection of monsters (total 64), where quite a few are just different versions of the game - very few monster skills. it's about the same 5-6 skills over and over from monster to monster - monsters level very slowly, and require a grind-fest (edit: the dev added a way to feed monsters to other monsters to speed it up. now it's pretty close to fair until last few levels) Overall I enjoy this game so far. Not sure if I would play it twice to get a couple extra achievements. I really hope the dev makes a BeastMancer 2, using some of the feedback he has received.
