If you are tired of the modern pokemon games and want a classic pokemon-like experience, this is the game for you!
Beautiful spritework, great monster designs, really nice soundtrack, a different combat system based on stamina that is similar but different enough from pokemon to be pretty interesting, lots of quality of life additions that makes it clear that this was made by romhack fans and lets you dial the experience to be exactly what youd want......the story is the only downside, sadly, it is lighthearted but pretty basic.
Really hope the sequel they tease at the end does get made, if all the systems stayed the same but the story was more engaging, coromon "2" could be a 10/10.

Fun Pokemon-like with good QoL changes. No brainers like difficulty settings, randomizer options, being able to reteach moves at any point and more.
Decent and fun Pokemon inspired game.
This game is currently in the Humble Choice for April 2024, and this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before May 7th, 2024, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.
It’s Pokemon
Coromon has such an obvious influence it even ends in Mon. But at the same time, it also does things everyone wants to see. This has a customizable difficulty with interesting choices like limited heals at the doctors, limits to monsters you can catch, and more. Every character also gets a trait when it’s caught and those traits can make two similar creatures vastly different. There’s also the ability to customize the stats of your creature and so much more. Compared to the main genre which feels like it’s stagnating at times, Coromon feels like the breath of fresh area the fans of the genre are begging for.
But at the same time, it’s Pokemon with most of the same negatives. You’ve seen much of this idea before, and while there are tons of fresh moments, the majority of the game is leveling up monsters, fighting x number of bosses, this time you fight Titans or something, and while there are new abilities, you will feel like you’ve done this before. Also, there are only 124 monsters here, and while there’s more content in other areas, having fewer characters than the first Pokemon game is a weird choice. I know, this probably has more animations or art requirements, but It still feels odd.
Pick this up if you like Pokemon. This is a pure Pokemon style game, but it’s also so well done and does enough new that fans who may have been burnt out on the main series will probably find something fresh here. At the same time, it’s not going to change most players' minds if they aren’t already fans of Pokemon.

I do want to play the story update sometime (because the story was somewhat forgettable before), but yeah I've been following this one since the demo in 2020 and it was pretty refreshing.
The monsters are very nice, the skins look cool but I'd never have the patience to get them lol
But yeah, just I had issues with replayability initially

Absolutely love the designs.
