Bear with me on this one, but it is similar to One Step from Eden. It takes a part of the Pokemon experience and just brings it down to the "combat." In doing so, it misses a lot of the actual series, but it also attracts a new audience. It will never stand up to the original series IMO. Did they really need to add gacha though.

I only cleared classic (it could have been 50 floors shorter) a couple of times and did a few dailies so I'm not going to rate this one. I'm not sure how else to do it, but this has a lot more metaprogression than I expected. I am interested to see how Emerald Rogue differs now when I get to it. While a lot of things are still broken and I don't know how any of this works, it's pretty impressive to just be a browser game.
