@isthereanydeal Damn, the whole live-service tactics plus other controversies listed here makes me wish I could just skip the live- part. Oh well, Cassette Beasts it is
Yes. If you’re of the belief that Pokemon peaked during the game boy advance era then you’ll probably like coromon. I never got around to finishing it but I’ve enjoyed the 10ish hours I’ve put in.
Oh no, the devs are to blame. Lots of people including me bought into the promise that this would be a Pokémon mmo. We expected expansion packs, coop content, new monsters to catch and new places to see. The devs vehemently oppose adding new content to the game and have been saying as much since late early game, right before launch, when most people have already paid.
Unfortunately, the devs see mmos as “games where you grind a lot”. Sure you can play the story coop, but at end game you have nothing to do with a friend. Sure, lairs technically have 5 players but everyone is playing their own game and the only interaction is a shared pool of resources.
The game is super grindy for no reason, it’s always online despite not having much justification for that aside from “you have to see players in the world, doesn’t matter that you can’t interact with them in any meaningful way”, and updates focus on meaningless pvp content with nothing major like new tems to spice things up.
If you asked me before launch if the game was worth it, I would have readily said yes, even if just for the storyline. Unfortunately, they rushed it so hard after the mid-point that they botched it completely, and you are left with a barely coherent, pointless excuse of a story.
It’s not the worst game out there, I have sunk 350 hours or so in it (most of that grinding), but the devs have piss-poor decision making, a lack of transparency, an aversion to criticism and they are getting desperate. You’re better off not getting invested in this.
If you have any questions about the game, feel free to ask.
PS: the ban thing isn’t an issue from my experience. It’s the rest of everything.
71% off a game with more f2p garbage than an actual f2p game. It’s got it all folks, mtx, battle passes, level boosts, cosmetics, the works - all for the low low price of letting the devs stick their hands in your wallet!
