Went in expecting a shameless Pokemon knockoff.
Lost 200 hours of my life.
If you enjoy raising, optimising and commanding brutal monster servants amidst a rich and colourful world that contains no shortage of traditional RPG elements, this is the game for you. Character customisation, cosmetic armour, and adjustable colour palettes on armour sets work very nicely alongside a loose and easy inventory and crafting system, simple but broadly reaching character combat traits and other RPG staples to create a pleasant and easy gaming experience for anyone looking to drift in and out for a few hours.
There's also a very helpful Reddit community for those aspects of the game that you might need re-explaining.
