Everyone's a critic! But I think we can all agree that these six games are "ugly." Though that's not necessarily a bad thing. But do these games PLAY ugly too? Well...

I think the first one might’ve been originally made in Spanish, seeing as the duck had “pato” (Spanish for duck) in its name, and the shrimp had “Grenada” which is grenade in Spanish. That might explain some of the names you couldn’t figure out. (Note I know very little Spanish so these explanations may not be valid).

@toumabyakuya Ай бұрын

Shrimpnada might be a portmanteau of Shrimp + Empanada (an spanish food).

It's kinda nice that Lockstin is trying to be a lot more polite about this game - lots of people have a habit of just going "THIS GAME IS BAD" but you're talking about why they're bad, and what things you like. This is very nice.

@SinNun-tx5jp Ай бұрын

"Hierbas" means herbs in spanish. No pun or anything.

Also Shrimpnada -> Shimp granada -> granade. I guess it KINDA looks like the thingy from a granade?

Monster Catching King is indeed an RPG Maker game. It has the RPG Maker UI(In black and White, for some reason), but the sprites and tilesets were drawn. C+ for what effort was there? TP stands for Technique Points, and is also a staple of RPG Maker games.

Yeah, Monster Capture King is definitely an RPG Maker game, I recognise the assets and the ratios. Also if you liked Automon and wanted a version that not so... "ugly" and takes itself a bit more seriously, Kadomon is a game I've seen a couple of other KZfaqrs play which has pretty much the same auto-battler "pokemon" game system.

@TheSmartboy64 Ай бұрын

Got to play Monster Sanctuary. Still has the monster collecting. Still has all the battling. Yet it improves the formula very well with its skill trees, 3v3 team combat, and having resistances/vulnerabilities unique to the monsters, not types. That game needs more love.

Alright Mr. Lockstin, I have a request for you: I have a pokemon-alike that I played back in 2021 but can no longer play due to my changed living arrangements: it's called Cartridge Monsters and I'm curious what you'd think, as I didn't end up getting super far before I had to put it down. It looks low-poly and is definitely rough around the edges but I remember enjoying what I played of it way back when. I'd appreciate if you'd consider giving it a look in a future video about creature collectors other than Pokemon. Oh it's VR only btw kthxbye!

@spacealien3073 Ай бұрын

Honestly to answer the very brief question at the start I regard most monster tamers to be creature collectors but a lot of creature collectors are not monster tamers. An example of a non creature collector monster tamer would be some of the Digimon World games because you're given a monster or two at the start and those are the only monsters you get the entire time. An example of a non monster tamer creature collector would be Bugsnax because you certainly collect creatures in that but you don't use them in any type of competition or anything. I know this isn't like an official definition or anything but it helps me personally parse between which games I would recommend to others based on their own interests.

@byzantine5761 Ай бұрын

I feel like some monster tamers kinda rely on the 'mon title a little too much and it just really hurts their uniqueness. Obviously it just means monster and Pokemon doesn't own the shortened form of monster (look at digimon), but they are NOT making themselves stand out by not going for any name beyond mon (ofc, automon is parodying pokemon so thats ay-ok)
