![]() There’s not as many Tamer fights as one would see in a Pokémon game. To begin, the game feels a bit grindy in the fact that most battles are random encounters. Throw in some rather unbalanced moves like status effects that just melts a health bar, and players will learn they can exploit a lot of battles here. To be honest, it makes the game a bit easy in some aspects because of how the synergy works. Along with that, certain monsters have moves that can give status effects and change up stats.Īnother change is that the Tamer can carry eight monsters with them at a time allowing players to have more customization in battle. Think of it a bit like Bravely Default’s system where the player can give up turns to have a bigger hit on the next turn. Having more bars of the meter filled will allow the next attack to be more powerful. There is a four part meter that fills up with each turn in battle depending on if the player switches out a monster or defends. Sure, there are monsters with specific types that are stronger and weaker to others, but what really stands out is the synergy system. What Monster Crown does is change up the standard formula. The fact that people actually die in this game makes it stand out from Nintendo’s giant IP. Although, I will say that they are going for a more mature setting here. The story is serviceable, but won’t knock anyone’s socks off. Does it make sense? Not really, but watching a giant monster read a scroll and agree to join my team was always funny. ![]() Rather than catch monsters, Tamers break out the legal documents and have the monsters sign a contract with them. Leaving the family farm to tame all kinds of monsters as well as getting thrown into a plot with mobsters, and evil leaders for good measure. Monster Crown has players taking on the role of a new Tamer. Oh, and this was on other platforms, not just on a Nintendo system. So, suffice to say, I was intrigued when I was asked to review Monster Crown, a Pokémon-inspired game set to feel like the old Game Boy games. At least, not many to speak of other than a handful. With only a few exceptions, there hasn’t been many Pokémon style games to come out of the gaming world. ![]() Crazy to think that series has been around as long as it has. I’ve been playing Pokémon for years at this point. ![]()
