Kādomon: Hyper Auto Battlers Prologue

This is what pokemon does it inspires lots of creators to think outside the box and made this. I enjoyed it to a point where i really want more. Hoping for the early access to be release. Can't wait

For me, the gameplay is decent but gets increasingly repetitive. The concept is wonderful, but execution is ok. If this had a 3rd rating in between, that's what I would put. 6/10

"Kādomon: Hyper Auto Battlers Prologue" is is not a game. It's an advertisement for a product called "Kādomon: Hyper Auto Battlers". Kādomon: Hyper Auto Battlers is essentially a mobile app in exile, a "card" and monster battler, a Pokemon themed ripoff of Slay the Spire. Which is not to say it doesn't have any value or depth if you think your gaming rig is best used to play iPhone games, but it's hard to recommend that kind of thing to cutting edge PC gamers. But this isn't completely relevant because this is not Kādomon: Hyper Auto Battlers, it's just an advertisment for it, so it's not correct to try to review that completely distinct product. We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement. If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on Youtube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising. It's impossible in a general sense to recommend people should do that over playing real, full games on Steam, and that applies here with "Kādomon: Hyper Auto Battlers Prologue" too. The purpose of this advertisement is to get you to shell out a whopping $10 USD on buying Kādomon: Hyper Auto Battlers, and I don't recommend you do that either. As an advertisement, this is only free in the same way that adverts on Youtube and banner ads in your browser are. This is a game demo that's been dumped on Steam to advertise another Steam store page in the hopes of raking in some cash. Just because advertisements are free, doesn't mean they're worth your time. It's important to understand there's a formal process to create a demo/page for a game which hasn't been followed here: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/application/demos While it might seem like an inocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful. This advertisement is taking up marketing space and visibility that would be better made available to a developer that's done the right thing and created a full game. Instead, that visibility is given over to a demo/advert that's been published incorrectly and is polluting the marketplace. It's unclear if this mistake was made through incompetence or a deliberate intent to mislead gamers. Often developers may choose to incorrectly publish demo/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which may seem clever to them, but it's harmful behaviour and it's not good for gamers. Advertisements and incorrectly published demos don't add +1 to your game collector count, they aren't full games. It's impossible for me to recommend this incorrectly published advertising spam to gamers, you deserve better than adverts.
