Those thinking they're going on some sort of nostalgia trip are in for a very rude awakening. Fortunately for the player they have access to the most destructive force in the known galaxy: the ability to raise diminutive beings who compete in mock battles for everyone's amusement.īefore we proceed, let's address the 'cute and cuddly' side of the equation, as it's bound to give impulsive buyers the wrong impression. Following an attack that results in the loss of technology needed to find six elemental 'cores' (which create Coromon), a race ensues to prevent alien invaders from terraforming the land of Velua. After saying goodbye to your mother and choosing one of three starting Coromon, the player embarks on their career path as a 'Battle Researcher' for tech-giant Lux Solis. The Pokêmon faithful might agree – if they can accept that the game in front of them isn't exactly what it appears to be.Įven a fossil like myself sees the obvious parallels with Pokêmon Red/Blue. Not only is Coromon the best indie I've encountered yet, it's one of the most challenging all-round titles I've played in years. I won't pretend to have the accolades expected of a pocket monster enthusiast, but I can recognize a damn fine game when it's presented before me. I'm not saying it hasn't been amusing, but millions of sales each year isn't exactly sending the message of dissatisfaction people seem to believe it does. A commendable RPG by any standard, since then my history with the series has been relegated to observing the hate/hate relationship between the fanbase and essentially everyone who touches the property.

Pokêmon was never the phenomenon to me it is for everyone else - it was simply the last GameBoy game I bought. By Issa Maki, posted on 14 April 2022 / 3,019 Views
