Wonderful video, this is a really neat shift in the monster taming genre. Definitely different. There are a lot of interesting things about this game. I'm not too hell bent about crafting, it has to be unique in a way for me want to get into it. But it seems like it could work with a pokemon style game like this. I'd love to check this one out. Great video once again, I watched the whole thing!

@SayItIsntJoe Ай бұрын

@SpiritGamesTV thanks!! The crafting is pretty straightforward, I never found myself grinding for materials for most scrolls, they're literally all over the place. Just casually playing will see you collecting everything you need, I'm sure of that. Hope you enjoy!

Great video! Super concept for a game-get all the buggers to fight at once; seems fantastic!

@SayItIsntJoe Ай бұрын

@@OriginalMasters yeah I think that was a major differentiator for this one. It makes grinding thru a bunch of fights quickly a possibility which I always appreciate.

All your Yaolings fighting at the same time making it more like an RTS is an interesting twist, though I wonder if it will draw in Monster catching fans because of this choice. I've seen some games on the way that use this twist on the traditional gameplay formula, taking out lots of Monsters at the same time, but I feel like one of the charms of monster-catching games is each monsters individuality, how their design and gameplay style merge and really make it so that one particular monster becomes your favorite etc. This seems much more like you are meant to have multiples of monsters to overwhelm the enemy with numbers, and that seems like it would make for less interesting monsters. Still, I do like the premise and the twist on the "travel all across the land and go to different gyms", so I will probably take a look at this as well :) A nice recommendation, I just wonder if it's going to be a hit with the monster collector fans when it doesn't seem to put much importance on individual monsters.

@goranisacson2502 I thought about that too, but the combination of yaolings you have in your party makes a ton of difference. Because of each types different skills, you can go in with brute force and get overwhelmed, or go all ranged and get run over quickly. That's also why each of the "schools" you face has a different focus, including force - the lesson you learn pretty quick is balance matters a lot. Also as yaolings evolve, their skills change and so do their stats, so a tank in his first evolution might be a lot less useful against certain opponents once evolved, and you kinda want slash need the evolution to stay strong enough to keep up as you face opponents that are evolved. So they did a really good job balancing that all out, I think. I'm no expert of course.

pretty much sold by the art style! Will definitely grab this, I hope they'll have a switch release.

@SayItIsntJoe Ай бұрын

Yeah I was hoping they'd get a release on another platform too. I played it pre-release so it's possible it'll be other places soon. Even on PC it was worth the play tho

fyi when sealing them you can just use their icons on the top of the screen... click your seal that you wanna use pauses the game (as im sure your aware) then you just go to the top instead of trying to click the monster... this helps drastically especially when shiny hunting and enemies can die within the first couple milliseconds of hitting start lol

Think they're gonna make it work out on the Steam Deck?

I would imagine if it gets picked up enough they'll have it in a few other places! I sure hope so, this has potential to be great.

And by the sounds of it you never found the difficulty tent thing... theres a place on the map that can change the wilds difficulty but increases their chance for better stats and I think maybe even shiny chance but this also increases their HP, ATK, etc.... youll get stomped i promise you

Have you tried Monster sanctuary or Cassette beasts?

Except for monster hunter stories, Monster Hunter is not a Monster taming game. It's a third person action adventure game with real time combat where you slay monsters to craft weapons and armor with a slight dash of monster ecology as story

Drawn out battles in Pokemon??? Huh??? The battles in this game are way slower than Pokemon has been for over a decade

@SayItIsntJoe Ай бұрын

I mean, I was pretty clear that I didn't play pokemon a lot. But when I did (I played red a few times, never got very far) there was a fair amount of time spent thinking about what to do, and in this game there wasn't for me. It's ok if we don't agree, it's just my opinion.

@@SayItIsntJoe well yeah if the game just tells you where to go there's no exploration to be done. you just go, it's linear. i didn't like it because of that, and because the combat is a mess

It's not really a saturated genre on console there's like 15 to 20 at best games of its type lolz and like 5 main franchises for it, pokemon, digimon, smt, persona??? And maybe the dragon quest monsters spin offs now.
