EvoCreo 2

I like the play style and I've enjoyed some shiny hunting. I will say that the afflictions are starting to get pretty frequent. Hard to find any fight where you don't get poisoned, bleeding, defense broken, or a combo of all of them.

I got hooked pretty quickly playing the demo for hours trying to catch all the possible creo with high stars in the first few areas. Its rare for me to get o hooked with creature collecting games in the first 15 minutes but this game did. I love that you ca see the creo roaming the landscape and that you can capture some of them. It makes the world feel more alive. I have been paying on steam deck using the gamepad template button layout. While this isnt perfect, it is functional as long as you use the + movement button on the menu displays and shop menus. Im sure there are some other functions that dont quite work with this button template but the game is functional and I havent noticed any other issues so far. Menu button is the button with 3 lines and the select button is the upper window button next t the + direction pad on steam deck. I do not remember what those buttons are called on the steamdeck.

Game is amazing and upgraded mechanics compared to the first one.

Bom dms O jogo em si é muito novo então não tem a creopedia atualizada na Net e nem muitos guias e isso aumenta a dificuldade e deixa o jogo com aquele ar de gameboy advanced dos anos 2000 Dito isso 9/10 Tirei um ponto pq o sistema de cura é devagar e fica fazendo vc clicar na poção várias vezes

I have been enjoying my time so far!

I play too many creature collector games and I highly recommend people play this one.

I played the first Evo Creo on mobile and only ever got halfway through it, it felt like you were always shafter on the catch rate in the first one on mobile and it pushed towards microtransactions. I almost didn't grab the second on Steam because of that bad taste... FORTUNATELY, I gave this a go and decided on Steam instead of mobile for the second one and I am so glad I did, it feels great without the microtransaction options and it feels fair when trying to catch something. The story is decent. The gameplay controls are... decent. There is a little bit of a lag when the autosave goes in and out of buildings but other than that the game runs smoothly. If you are a Pokemon fan then this is right up your alley. Expect a mishmash of Pokemon with a little simpler battle motif. Obvious differences without spoilers are a lot of the mons can use similar moves across the board so some moves become repetitive, even more so than Pokemon which surprisingly doesn't put a negative in this space, it just plays... differently. BUT it is still very similar. Don't expect a masterpiece. I mean as far as creature collectors go though, it's decent. In order of knockoffs... it's like top... half. 6.5/10. If you want a 9/10 or 10/10 go for Cassette Beasts. If you want a 7 or 8 ... go for Tem Tem... this is like one or two more rungs below that. It's also much better than the first Evo Creo so if you liked the first one you'll like this. If you hated the first one... you probably won't like this but you'll notice it's better. If you were so so with the first one... you'll more likely like this one more.

Good monster catching game. Easy to get lost and not know exactly where to go but fun none the less.

Edit: Overall, this is honestly as close to a 10/10 as I could find. I'm over 50% done, and over 30 hours are actual hours. I left my game on a couple of times. In general, there are a couple of mechanics that you can safely ignore (within reason) for the first run. - The stars (prestige) on the Creo absolutely equate to more stats, but if you're anywhere near 5-7 stars, your Creo should be solid. Higher prestige is probably for those insane battles later, but high levels on your Creo can outpace the stats. I am safely dealing with quests with enemies up to level 90 with rank/prestige 7-star Creo. - You slowly accumulate personal items to do things like dig and glide, safely removing those Creo from your team. That lets your team evolve into whatever you want it to be later. I will say this may be the first creature-collector game I actually have a desire to complete the encyclopedia for fully. - For those Pokémon fans, you are used to negative status effects sticking with you (burn/poison, etc.). That happens in this game, but positive status effects also last! So there is an interesting depth to some of it. Do I fight something lower before a big fight so I can pre-buff reflect/regen/protect on me? - Also for Pokémon fans, energy is a pool, not PP. So you can dip into a fight, heal up from it, then escape to keep going. There are a lot of little quality-of-life things I'm enjoying in this. Original post: Honestly, I've had a blast. I played the first one to get a handle on their system, and this is such a significant step in the right direction; it's been awesome! A lot of places to explore, the battle mechanics are fun, and the idea of being able to evolve and de-evolve is super nice. This is probably the most fun I've had since some of the OG Pokémon. A lot to experience, my only two gripes: Multi-attacks take a decent amount of time to finish, and I had to rebind on the Steam Deck to make it work really well (the layout is in the community layouts!). Overall - 9/10. I have only seen one bug so far, which was completing a quest by going back to retrieve the fossil that turns into a Creo. There are two NPCs for some reason after. Otherwise, smooth sailing and well done.

A bit too expensive, but still a good game. The french translation is terrible.
