Nuumonsters

A broken unfinished mess that hasn't been updated in 2 years. The retro style is nice looking, but that's it. There's no way to use items in fights, you can't switch to specific monsters only to the next in line, when you whiteout you go back to your starting house. It crashes, softlocked me once, very f***ing confusing. The griding isn't just anoying but boring, and you will need to grid. No story, unclear directions, creature design is lacking. Don't bother with this, there are way better creature collector games that are finished.

[h1]Dokimon 의 프로토타입?[/h1] 포켓몬라이크 생명체 수집 게임입니다. 1세대 포켓몬을 연상시키는 도트의 게임인데 몬스터를 잡고 엘리트 트레이너를 이겨나가면서 루트를 해금하고 모험을 떠난다는 내용의 게임입니다. 게임을 실행하면 오리지널 클래식버전과 리메이크버전 두개 중 하나 실행하는 선택지가 나오는데 특징이라면 클래식버전에서는 몬스터를 가지고 있는것만으로도 능력으로 야생몬스터를 캐치할 수 있는데, 최신 리메이크버전에는 몬스터볼과 같은 아이템을 구매해야 캐치가 가능합니다. 할인하면 가격이 많이 저렴하기도 했고, 도키몬을 그래도 플레이해서 구매하고 플레이 해보았는데, 약간의 테스트버전 느낌이 많이 들었습니다. 심지어 클래식버전은 일정 부분 클리어하면 진행이 안됩니다. 개발자님이 이후 작업을 통해 리메이크버전을 낸거로 알고 있는데.. 리메이크버전에서는 이후 분량이 진행되는지는 안해봐서 모르겠는데, 리메이크버전이 클래식버전에서 느낄 수 있는 스토리텔링 부분이 더 적어져서 다시 하기가 좀 그래서 저는 스탑했습니다. 도전과제 달성은 쉬운편이긴 한데.. 정말로 프로토타입의 느낌이 많이 들어서... 이 게임보다는 도키몬을 플레이하는 것을 더 추천하는 바입니다.

I played the new version of this game all the way through. It's only a few hours long and while I found enjoyment from it, Dokimon: Quest is significantly more polished. Nuumonster's achievements don't work. I only unlocked one randomly in the middle of my playthrough. The game wouldn't show up on my taskbar, so whenever the game was minimized, I would need to close it to reaccess it. Many NPCs are broken and can't be interacted with, and even the area at the very end of the game broke on me and prevented me from leaving. The exit just took me to a black void. Sprites also despawned randomly. Specifically gift monsters and Elite trainers! Gameplaywise, move descriptions don't make any sense and don't usually do what they say they will do. There's little point in keeping your monster's around and leveling up. Catching new monsters in the next area is a much faster way to actually progress. I can say that the music and sprites are really good, but just play Dokimon instead of this.

[h3] TLDR [/h3] This game, even the ‘remade’ version, is filled with bugs that heavily detract from the gameplay experience. I must recommend people skip this game due to their existence. [h3] Review [/h3] Nuumonsters had the potential to be a short but cute game but unfortunately it fails in many regards. The lack of story hampers much of it; there is little rhyme or reason for progressing areas beyond needing to reach the correct threshold to battle higher ranked 'elite trainers'. This would be fine, except there is no direction regarding where to go next. There is a map in the game but its readability leaves much to be desired in addition to the times it simply does not work... There are some areas where the map is undefined, some where the route is misaligned with the map and the character appears to float off the screen, and others where the transition between areas leaves a character stuck on a previous route. Navigating in this world feels very much a chore, as the map doesn't have names for areas and so even if a sign points to where the next train you need to fight may be, if you haven't stumbled across that area before you are left completely in the dark guessing where it may be. However even if you manage to find the next progression area that leaves many other problems with the game's systems and mechanics. I played the 'remade' version that is supposedly less buggy than the classic and yet still encountered endless bugs that made finding simple information a chore. I understand wanting to be unique as a monster taming game with new types of moves and match typing of creatures, however that system is useless if your players cannot find out what type of monster a monster even is, let alone type match-ups. I caught many monsters throughout the journey because frankly, the EXP scaling was horrendous. The monsters do not evolve but instead have large move pools dictated by level. This would be fine, if grinding for EXP was feasible. In the early game, leveling is quite fine and you can reasonably take your starter until around the mid 20s. After that, it is faster and better to forgo training entirely and simply catch a team of higher level monsters when you access an area with them. However, even after you catch these new monsters you have a very difficult time trying to get their in-game “INFO”. I encountered a long suffering bug that plagued my game after my first play session that rendered the PC “INFO” look up of monsters useless. It would only display data from the first monster in my party. So I would have to individually change the first monster to look at their new info, or change my party to an entirely new batch of 6, log out of the PC, and look at their info from the party menu instead. This made the game such a slog. Not having access to typing or level via a hover over in the PC genuinely wasted over an hour of my time simply because I had to constantly do monster management that, if things worked properly, could be done in five minutes. Nevermind the mid-battle bugs and misinformation. The mid-battle INFO on moves sometimes just straight up lies. A move’s INFO will state it will heal the monster and raise DEF, but then instead raise accuracy and nothing else. To say entire moves are misrepresented in a monster battling game is quite baffling to me. I don’t even know how this happens. Overall it feels as though despite the developer putting in the effort to remake Nuumonsters, the care for making sure core systems worked as intended was simply not there. Which is unfortunate, as without many of these annoying bugs plaguing the game it could be a clunky, short, but sweet monster tamer game for people to enjoy regardless.

0 Explanation on this game? What is the classic version and what is the difference between the classic and the "remake"? How do I know if a move is physical or special? What is AP and EP? Burst mode what? Im so confused pls. Achievements only work on the classic version that is a worse version of the normal one (final version) even after 5 years the dev didn't fix it... I tried the classic version and there isn't even an option to open my party, check my monsters and their stats it just appears as "????" on the menu (edit: after 40 min you can open your party wow) and for no reason the game crashed two times in 30 minutes so yeah what a broken mess this game is. Refunded.

This game is a true love letter to the old (first gen) Pokemon games. You can clearly see the inspiration but it differs enough to stand out. I did like the game a lot and just finished the new "remake" version! Most reviews here are sadly from the first launch when the game was still in early access. I did buy it at release but did not find the time to start it back then (and also forgot about it). The game is complete by now and at the current sate it's more than worth playing! The pacing was fine, just the last 3rd did require some grinding to get enough "ELO". The game took me like 7 1/2 hours to complete and I can see myself replaying this in a year again. Might even try the "classic" version then - just to experience the first version for once.

I will preface this review with pointing out that it is not a finished game. It was a precursor to Dokimon: Quest, (Dokimon spoiler ahead)[spoiler]and almost the entire game is included as the post-game "alt-region" in Dokimon.[/spoiler] That being said, it is very unique and engaging. The concept of AR monsters gives me Megaman Battle Network vibes, which is a great setting. Contrary to what some other reviews have said, it does have a light story, and it does have an inventory. The developer has plans to remake this into an updated, finished game. It will likely be a separate Steam listing (though I don't know so don't quote me on it). It was a fun 6 hours, so I recommend grabbing it on sale. I look forward to the remake!
