@CharlieGirl As someone who has a monster in this game, I am not sure why you're so dismissive of it. I have large amounts of faith in this game; it did well in Early Access and I only foresee it doing better and better from here.
@CovidBarbie Anyone who immediately writes a game this ambitious off as what you said clearly has no idea what they're talking about...like you.
I despise when unique monster games are written off as a Pokemon clone, especially since all Pokemon did was take taming stuff from Dragon Quest V and SMT and just made it more popular.
Wasn't it not too long ago people WANTED Pokemon to fail? And now that there's more mongames people either say "OH EM JEE IT LOOKS TOO MUCH LIKE POKEYMAN ZERO OUT OF 10" or are just "OH EM JEE NOBODY WANTS THIS"
How dare you. You are only perpetuating the stereotype that games that even play slightly like Pokemon can't be their own thing. I especially say how dare you that Monster Crown isn't original - I've known the dev ever since the game was a concept on Reddit and I knew people who can actually appreciate mongames would enjoy it even then!
@Ogbert I don't see ANY Nidoran in Laz (EDIT: you meant Playg, that's a CAT, not a bunny). Arcanine X Entei? For the WALRUS monster Walerus? Are you joking? (EDIT: Wrong bridge, though I don't see the comparison still).
Ledyba X Heracross for Staglus? Where on earth does LEDYBA factor in? Are you just unaware that other types of beetles also have those kind of wings?
I'm sorry, these comparisons are really really bad. It feels like you're just grasping at straws and desperately trying to write them off as Pokemon knock-offs intentionally, which IMO means you're trying to dislike the game and not judge it based on anything else it does.
This review smacks of "it looks like Pokemon but I'm too lazy to actually decipher what makes the game unique".
I'm sorry, as a contributor to the game, this game is really more unique than Pokemon. There are well over 1000 monsters including crossbreeds, and that's part of the joy of the game - finding which ones you like!
The performance problems? I'll give you that, the game has a few issues with those, but calling the designs "needing some work" is just flat-out stupid IMO.
