Including every crossbreed, there are 1200 beasties to choose from (that’s more then Pokémon has had over its 25ish years). There are so many variations to choose from, that your team of monsters feels incredibly personal. Breeding is fun, intricate, and addictive. This feature I cannot give enough praise. The biggest feature is the breeding system, which allows you to experiment and make your own cross breeds of the various monsters found throughout the world.

For those unaware, Monster Crown is an indie beast taming RPG in the same vein as the early Pokémon games. Plus, you need it to use determined skills.I’d like to discuss Monster Crown for a moment. Every type has its own strengths and weaknesses, for example, an unstable monster will have an advantage over a relentless one, dealing extra damage and resisting the received one.ĭuring attacking, you will fulfill the synergy meter, which will power-up your attacks if one of the gauges is full.

If all are defeated, you will be returned to the last visited town.Įvery monster has an affinity: unstable, malicious, brute, relentless, and will, but they can learn movements of different types. If the monster kills one of your companions, you can use the rest of your roster. For the last option, you have to debilitate it before it accepts the pact. During the combats, there are 5 options, attack the enemy with one of the monster’s skills, switch your monster, guard against an attack, escape from the battle or offer a pact to the enemy to join you. The enemy monster appears and you choose which member of your team use. Ups! I am going to be smashed… The combat When you catch a new monster, it will be registered in your notebook with a description, but at this current stage of the game, this is not available for all of them. In this game, you can’t evolve your monsters, but you can breed them to get stronger ones. You can encounter some overpowered monsters during your adventure, some are marked with the ? Name, which means that they are the result of monster breeding, and some brilliant versions of the normal ones. In this respect, I miss more combats against other trainers. There aren’t combats with random trainers during your way, only wild monsters, which you will see on the field before fighting them, even some will pursue you. Occasionally, you will fight other people, in story-related events. During the gameplay, you fight and catch monsters (with pacts) and level them up.

Sometimes, while playing, I got the feeling of playing Pokemon Red again, which brings me good memories. I’m going, to be honest, this game remembers me a lot the first Pokemon games. Your journey will be a complete one: You will catch monsters, you will fight a gangster’s association, you will solve some citizen’s affairs and you’ll meet a woman seeking power and legendary monsters to fulfill her own desires. After teaching you the basics, your parents agree, and they commissioning you a major assignment, bring a gift to the king to win his favor. You live with your family in your farm on the Royal Island, until one day you decide to be a monster tamer. From Studio Aurum comes Monster Crown, a turn-based monster taming RPG.
