If I were being generous, I would say there's some Ok ideas here. There is perhaps potential. But nothing strong enough to hold up all the issues. To put it simply, this is not a finished game at all. It plays like someone sat down and made it all in one go for a game jam and then moved on …

If I were being generous, I would say there's some Ok ideas here. There is perhaps potential. But nothing strong enough to hold up all the issues. To put it simply, this is not a finished game at all. It plays like someone sat down and made it all in one go for a game jam and then moved on without testing it at all. It's a mess in ever way. it runs poorly, it glitches constantly, it clips and stutters and malfunctions. It isn't clear how it's supposed to work all the time. As the beginning of an early access project this might be ok, but this is a released game sold at full price with a sequel made to it somehow. there's no excuse for this. What even is this?

I'm trying really hard to like this game but it's a buggy mess with lots of questionable choices. And instead of fixing the bazillion of bugs and glitches I've encountered in four hours of playtime, the developers have the guts to put their time and energy into a TCG and a sequel instead. Makes me feel a bit salty, honestly.

This is on sale for $5 or less right now and apparently just got a big free expansion DLC update a couple months ago. I know the initial release for this was rough, but now may be the time I finally give it a chance.

I'd had my eye on Monster Crown for a while, but thought it looked... rough, so I kept holding off. I grabbed it in the current Humble Bundle and woof. It's as bad as I feared.

I'd had my eye on Monster Crown for a while, but thought it looked... rough, so I kept holding off. I grabbed it in the current Humble Bundle and woof. It's as bad as I feared.

It's buggy. The presentation is bad. The combat somehow manages to be a notably worse version of Pokemon. The writing isn't good. The monster designs are more miss than hit for my taste.

I'm big on small indie games and can put up with a lot of jank if I can find a half decent reason to do so, but the only appealing thing here is the breeding system. Unfortunately, breeding monsters becomes much less exciting when you don't like the designs or combat. It's too bad, I really wanted to enjoy this one.
