D.A.M. Champion

First things first: I've had a key to stream this game, which I agreed upon + I'll write an honest review. Game is being made by a SOLO DEV and low priced. With that in mind, see below: Played for about 1h30mins: Positives: + Plays pretty fast, you jump straight into action + Fun to battle with 3 of your team members at once, like Dragon Warrior Monster games + Fast to reach evolutions, decent level curve + Not too hard / easy at this point (playing on medium difficulty) + Designs are pretty cool so far, obviously I don't like all monsters, but that's in any monster catching game + Info is pretty easy to get, lots of guides that help you in the first area, innovative recruitment system. + Karma system + Story didn't really get me that invested, BUT it doesn't have to. I want to get new monsters and fight with them, so that's what I'm doing. The conversations are pretty fun so far though. + You can skip most trainers/monsters if you want to / if you feel overleveled. - I had one random crash early game (but you can save super fast everywhere) - A bit hard/grindy to get your favourite mons early game, due to the recruitment system. But I guess it's fun to work for your rare monsters - No evolution visuals or notification, a pop up would be cool Things I don't know yet so neutral: Shiny monsters included?

Came for a mature pokemon-like and got an overall worst experience. 3v3 was a nice aproach but that's it, you only have 3 monsters, no team to plan an overall strategy. Story is inexistant (but the humor is often nice). Really grindy and you get asaulted in the grass every 2 seconds (even after the patch). Monster management is a nightmare, you have all the time all the monsters available in your inventory and they fight with all their learned skills. I'm in love with the genre, did a lot of monster taming games, rom hacks, nexomon, DQ monsters,coromon etc... This game managed to take away all the things good in monster taming games and give you nothing in return...
