“I had the itch to play a Pokemon game for a while, and not only did it scratch it, it's giving me the 1st gen feel while being brand new, and it is chokeful of quality of life features, while allowing extra difficulty.…”
“Enjoyable Pokemon clone with some problems. If you want to get a general sense of the gameplay, it's Pokémon with more QOL features. Combat plays out the same, there are multiple stats, types, abilities, and evolutions,…”

“Great quality creature collector. However, there are simply not enough diverse Coromon. Every biom feels like your facing the same Coromon just their evolved forms the entire game. Not enough variety. Very boring after…”
“Was pretty fun until you get to an unskippable jumping rope mini-game that's extremely hard and completely out of place. This is the worst, bad, cheap game mechanic I've seen in recent play. I was having a good time…”

“I think I got this game through a humble monthly thing, and while I’m generally not interested in the genre anymore, I gave it a try because it didn’t look half bad. Now, I have no idea what the game was like before…”
“I recommend it because the team obviously have a vision for the game and the world where it takes place in. I just have a few nitpicks that I want to voice out: -The puzzles were tedious. Too much time is spent trying…”
“I really want to like this game but I uninstalled it after forcing myself to finish the main story and I'm never playing it again. The story is meh. The gameplay is just classic Pokémon mixed with awful enviromental…”

— a player, Steam review · 105 hrs played“This game is basically a checklist of the best QOL and mechanical fixes that Pokemon should have implemented a long time ago squeezed into a very tight, albeit pretty short, game.
