👍 Strengths
88 reviews say they enjoy it, and some praise its charm, strategic battles and exploration, though the most upvoted says access problems limit the fun. 41 like the visuals, and a few call the creature designs cute and the cel shaded battle effects vivid and colorful. 39 enjoy playing together with a friend, and some say the whole campaign can be played in co-op. Multiplayer ranks 337th of 642, and Visuals & Sound ranks 864th of 1249.
👎 Where it falls short
29 reviews find it repetitive, and some point to tanky battles, frequent forced trainer fights and little type variety. 26 complain about progression, and some describe forced grinding for levels that feels unrewarding. 22 criticize developer support, and some say the game was left behind with bugs unfixed and no offline mode. Content Volume ranks 1137th of 1351, Pricing & Fairness ranks 1053rd of 1399, and Tech & Support ranks 1093rd of 1399.
