The game is very, very lacking. The biggest fault here is the exp system, where catching pals is the bulk of leveling up. This is a huge mistake. A lot of the issues with this game would be fixed if it had a system akin to Valheim, where individual skills had different levels. As is though, it means that the player has to prioritize catching above everything else before actually getting into the bulk of the game. Additionally, the actual assignments for pals is messy, and needs worked on. With a couple years of content this game could be good, but I wouldn't touch this again.
