Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

虽然和宝可梦不同，但是个佳作，值得一玩。
This scratches a itch I didn't know I had.
Schöne Sache. Pokemon für Erwachsene. An einigen Stellen "Storyline"technisch etwas undurchsichtig, aber mit ein wenig Logik und Entdeckergeist kommt man voran. Naja müsst ihr wissen

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 20: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

C'est un jeu qui a un énorme potentiel. Majoritairement j'ai adoré y jouer! les mécaniques sont sympa, la map aussi, l'histoire aussi et les musique aussi. Tout ça rend le jeu vraiment génial! Ce étant dit... aujourd'hui j'en vient presque à détester le jeu! Non seulement il est trop long même avec un système d'évolution super bien géré, mais après les Enfer (environ) le jeu devient juste ennuyant et répétitif... à non c'est pire! tu es obliger de faire des combats face à des monstre beaucoup trop booster pour avancer... et bien-sûr d'obtenir des monstre (ce qui relève parfois du miracle pour que ça passe) pour continuer aussi! devoir faire des équipe pour un seul combat c'est long et vraiment désagréable, c'est vraiment quelque chose de je déteste, sauf qu'il n'y a que de ça! Résumer, c'est un très bon jeu que je recommanderai à toutes personne qui ne fait jamais plus que le début des jeux.
Świetna gra, niezauważona perełka w sklepie steam. Zaskakująco dobrze zrobiona, grafika jest ładna, muzyka genialna fabuła jak w przeciętnych pokemonach czyli brak. Ale sam koncept na grę jest dobry. Łapanie stworków i sposób na ich trenowanie jest świeży i oryginalny. Kombinacje ich umiejętności i synergie ruchów potrafią być ZABÓJCZO przyjemne w tworzeniu. I fajnie że gra ma bossów z teamami posiadającymi mocne combosy, podkręca to poziom trudności :).Warto zaznaczyć że rozgrywka nie ma z pokemonami zbyt wiele wspólnego. Najlepszym porównaniem byłaby mieszanka JRPG-ów i metroidwani. Eksploracja z metroidwani, walka z JRPG-ów. Poziom trudności jest wysoki, ale sprawiedliwy więc osoby szukające wyzwania to uszczęśliwi. Grind jest. Pomijanie zbyt dużej ilości walk może doprowadzić do problemów z levelem. Walczenie ze wszystkimi stworkami na drodze jest wskazane. Podsumowywując: Jeśli jesteś fanem walk turowych to bierz i graj w ciemno. Grę tą pokochasz. Dla reszty polecam zagrać, ale może być nudna bo powtarzalność walk jest tu spora. Dla mnie ta gra trafiła w sedno 10/10, ale ma ona wady dlatego... 8.5/10
TL;DR? Excellent combo of Metroidvania and Pokemon type games, with built in tools for speedruns, randomizers, nuzlok, and traditional NG+ modes. Design draws plenty of inspiration from the classics like Super Metroid and Symphony of the Night. The story isn't terribly original, but is well told. Disclaimer: My brother bought this game for me on the Switch, and I just recently (as of the time of writing) picked it up on sale for the PC as well. I probably have close to 120 hours altogether. One of the things I like most about this game is the flexibility. Firstly, there is no "best monster" for you to make teams of. While some monsters are honestly "better" than others, that's mostly in how easy they are to build into a team rather than their individual stats. How your team synergize with each other in the 3 v 3 battles is MUCH more important than the strength of an individual member. As a result, thinking a monster is "cool" is a perfectly valid reason to use it, and isn't going to hurt you as you take on stronger enemies. Just make sure to build a team that takes advantage of each other's strengths. The other part of flexibility is that after the first couple of areas, the map opens up enormously with a large number of areas opening up at once. Tools to get to new areas can frequently be found in multiple areas as well, allowing for you to choose many different potential routes through the game. Further, the level of the enemies you face in each room is set the first time you enter the room, meaning that if you can reach the area, you haven't soft locked yourself with enemies you can't beat. Those two points combined with the built in tools make for a LOT of replay value. For a price of $20 USD? That's worth it.
