Coromon

I love the 2D Pokémon games and this scratches that itch perfectly. Get it, especially on sale.

[hr][/hr] [h2]‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎Coromon - Gotta Catch 'Em All?[/h2] [hr][/hr] Made by TRAGsoft and published by indie.io, you play as a young future battle researcher from Lux Solis — a global research society in the Velua region — in a 2D pixel-adventure and creature-collector game with RPG elements. On this thrilling adventure, you pursue the region's mysteries, meet quirky characters, and try to stop an impending disaster, with over 100 species available to collect.

A blatantly copy? Are Nintendo ninjas come and take down this game?[/i] Of course not, but the inspiration is palpable of the old GBA Pokémon games. I spent hundred of hours playing Ruby, Emerald and Fire Red to glimpse the similarities, not saying it as something negative, just an example how that franchise made an own genre, and how that served as an inspiration for some fans to decide to make what they dreamed to see or experience. ➢ [i]Phenomenal 2D pixelart.[/i] From the cute and chibi style the character has to a detailed world, full of animations, small decorations, good gradient of colors and illumination, this game becomes a please for the eyes. It's not an extremely and deep pixelart, with a strong signature, but it has the enough amount of details in it simplicity and depth to stand out from the rest. ➢ [i]Catchy soundtrack[/i]. With a decent variety of songs, and most of them ostentatious with strong beats, it fits wonderful with the intention of the game. I personally liked them a lot, but I gotta admit a few of them remind me a lot of the 3rd Pokémon gen melodies, but with different tune. Maybe, a coincidence? Probably not but still great. ➢ [i]Goodish gameplay[/i]. Even if this doesn't compare of what Pokémon is in terms of battle, and has few flaws it's still decently good. Enough variety of types, moves, and ways to defeat the enemy, so for a short adventure suffice. This game doesn't aim to turn into a competitive game, and doesn't suffer for a heavy RNG like Pokémon does, making the combats more fair, or some mechanics inside the game. Hoewer, this might be disappointed for veteran people in the genre if they come thinking to find a more elaborated system. ➢ [i]Funny narrative[/i]. Although is just a simple and quirk story with an interesting plow twist, it's not groundbreaking (doesn't pretend it either), and that's totally fine. The intentions are clear: entertain with a comical story to connect the reasons of you as a battle researcher and add a little of spice, and it serve perfectly for younger audience as well. I know this might piss off some people that looks for something trascendental, but it's not like the Pokémon games has a great story either, it's a game usually target for [i]kids[/i]. This doesn't mean I'm giving this higher points, the story is decently fine, that's it. [hr][/hr] [h2] ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎✧ Negative aspects ⇁[/h2] [hr][/hr] One part of me want to prise this game a lot for how charming it is, that I think all comes from the nostalgia given through the classic Pokémon vibes it has. However, it has some flaws I found annoying, either by the design, lacks of balance or some systems that might have been done better. Not sure why the intention behind of that design plannification, but I find them annoying. ➢ [i]SP system[/i]. I half liked this, but I found it as a bad designs. One of the reasons in Pokémon you had a limited number of movements is to end a battle, if you allows a system were movements are infinite and your creatures can regenerate the points to use their moves, you are just worried in the turn you need to rechage those points, allowing infinite and loop combats, and defeating the struggling of a strategy with your skills and usage of them. ➢ [i]Unbalanced type[/i]. Even if I found good some designs, the problem comes reaching endgame when you find a type neutral to every type, and deletes the whole meaning because you can caught and use them, and they are usually stronger than their normal versions. I found this very annoying, defeating the purpose of types strong/weak system, that was decently balanced at first. ➢ [i]Awful double/triple combat[/i]. Apart of the unbalancing type, something that pissed me off is that they added double and even triple fights, but you play solo and there is no movements that affect multiple enemies, making them highly unfair. This mostly attach wild encounters, but I have no clue why at least does not have movements that affect more than one. Even tho it didn't make the combats hard, it was annoying nonetheless. ➢ [i]Annoying puzzles[/i]. Some were good, and even interesting to solve, but others (Pawbury) were totally anti-intuitive and boring, that instead of using your logic forced you brute force solving it, or checking a solution online, others like the ones in the dungeon of Daduric were meh and burdersome for the quantity. Lacking in a balance in how to make them and how many. I think this game would be way better with half of them gone, and a couple made again from scratch.

A bit messy, but doable, However, there is a couple, especially one, that I find annoying: reaching a number of points on some minigames, that apart of boring weren't easy to complete. Maybe for you are easy, but with my skills it became a task that took me hours, and extremely boring. Although, if you need help this guide helped me flawlessly: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2869591515 [hr][/hr] [h2]‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ▫ ◨ ▪ FINAL THOUGHTS ▪ ◧[/h2] [hr][/hr] This game without a doubt catchs the old-school classic Pokémon games theme, in particular the GBA releases, with his own unique proposal and with a great art to catch your eyes. I enjoyed the whole game, from the beginning to the end, and I felt in love with some designs (Eclyptor) and few were incredible (Skelatops). I think is a game that probably will please most of the people who will dare to play it, and frustrate some veterans of the genre that were thirsty for something great. Part of the combat designs were partially good partially disappointed, the endgame design a bit unappealing, and the game as a whole a contastly that [i]it could be better[/i]. Maybe it's me having the standard too high or the game since the early development wasn't with the intention to be taken that seriously. In any case, I still find it solidly good enough for a good chunk of hours of enjoyement. With this said, and if are looking for a direct recommendation, my advice is wait for sales and look for outside stores. This game has been bundled a lot and find a cheap key is easy. So I guess I can summarize it to yes, try it. The worst it can happen is that you lost a couple of euros/dollars.

这游戏买了几年了，之前玩过一次，现在重做了，又玩了一次，只能说如果觉得自己的人生，自己的时间没有意义可以玩玩这个游戏。 主线里面塞了大量解密小游戏，又冗长又无聊，不是难而是消磨时间，一个两个就算了，经常几层都是一个类型的解密，大量的时间都浪费在小心翼翼走格子躲东西这类无聊的解密上了

解密内容过多，战斗养成方面深度不足，如果是按照类宝可梦的话是纯粹的本末倒置之作

It's a retro monster-taming RPG. With only some exaggeration, you already know how it plays. To me it didn't feel particularly better or worse than a Pokemon game, but was different in a few interesting ways, and was enough for me to be looking forward to the developer's next game. Like, it's not the first monster-taming game I'd recommend, but it's not bad. (Well, technically it is the first I'm recommending because I didn't review the others, I guess.) It does have fewer types than the average monster game, especially counting only types that monsters can have (some types are skill-exclusive), but you don't really feel the difference much in gameplay, and it means each type can have more than a couple monsters. Also for some reason everything is mono-type. Not really a complaint, but just feels a little weird. Some things I liked: * The level curve feels fine, with minimal grinding needed as long as you're fighting trainers. * They provided a reason to think about not evolving your monsters. * There were a couple interesting challenges around the mid to late game. * Giving monsters 3-5 possible passive abilities sort of makes it feel like there are more monsters. * Some cool boss fights. * The "Skill Flashes" have unlimited uses. * When arranging your party, the cursor moves to the front of the party by default. * Field abilities aren't tied to monsters, although that's just standard now anyway. Some things I disliked: * It felt like there was a lot of backtracking to heal. Even though the checkpoint system helps, and you eventually get an unlimited-use teleportation device, it still felt somewhat tedious, especially around the electric area. Maybe I should've used more items to heal, but they're kinda expensive relative to what fights give. * Mandatory minigames, including a stealth segment. Sure, they provide variety, but they're not really what I'm here for. * The lack of trainer classes with visible type specialties makes lots of encounters feel very similar, although this isn't strictly negative because fighting teams with mons of different types on them is a little more interesting. * They seem to think the best thing about the old Pokemon games is that sometimes items could be invisible. You do get a scanner midway through the game, although the sparkle on detected items is pretty short. Then you get another scanner that digs up invisible items that only sell for money, which fortunately you can ignore completely.

i wanna like it, but the ui and text being all pixelated is off putting. i wanna see it clearly....and theres no options even with the "remaster".

Uma jogabilidade bem proxima dos pokemons de GBA com suas peculiaridades unicas, historia leve e divertida.

I really like this game. I'd recommend it except that it CONSTANTLY crashes. Autosave is nice but when you're mid-puzzle and it just crashes constantly it's impossible to play.
