The elevator pitch for this game is "Monster Taming Metroidvania", a pitch that the game for the most part it lives up to. What one might not expect from this game, however is the very complex combat system, with every monster having an extensive skill tree to pick from, and a combo system that rewards well thought out team compositions. This complexity, however, is a double edged-sword; the system is very engaging if you find fun in creating highly synergistic team compositions, but if you're looking for a more casual experience a la pokemon, it may become a hindrance since even fights against wild monsters can be difficult without a strong team. Aside from the combat, the game largely is what one would expect — the metroidvania and monster taming genres work naturally well together, since the desire to find and capture new monsters encourages the exploration metroidvanias are known for.
