much like nexomon, i picked up this game to scratch the itch pokemon doesn't for me any longer, but unlike nexomon i was INSTANTLY blown away by this game. i'm confident anyone would be similarly impressed, and i'd very easily and enthusiastically recommend this game to anyone that likes creature collectors.

coromon's overall presentation is, quite honestly, better than modern pokemon games. the sprite work is legitimately gorgeous, and the animation of the coromon in battle is excellent, charming, and full of life. i think i liked some songs from the ost as well if i remember correctly. the story is honestly kind of insane but i really doubt anyone plays creature collectors for story purposes anyway. at least it's more interesting than pokemon stories i suppose?

another pretty large boon this game possesses is its accessibility to all manner of players. there are difficulty levels, and you can even customize difficulty options yourself and play the game exactly how you want. my favorite setting that i used profusely was letting regular healing items work as revives, for example.

i cannot sing coromon's praises enough. they're still adding content to the game as well. there are daily and weekly rewards now, with equippable cosmetics for your coromon that is a pretty recent thing. afaik there was a major story ending overhaul even just months ago. an extremely rare case of a game that i give a 9/10 PURELY on its objective quality; i truly CANNOT recommend this game enough.
