Gotta Catch 'Em All!
• EvoCreo - Pocket Monster Game ⎮ @Jenn
● A Pokemon-like game with more than 30 hours of offline gameplay.
● Nintendo didn’t develop Pokemon for mobile phones, EvoCreo is one of few Pokemon-like games available.
● For a paid game with gacha mechanics. It's a bit too greedy.
Time to play some Pokemon rip-offs. Frankly, it's impossible to say EvoCreo didn't take any inspiration from Pokemon, but considering that Nintendo didn’t make the real Pokemon for the mobile platform and EvoCreo makes a lot of improvement on the original Pokemon and emphasizes deeper gameplay and monster customization. I can't rebuke them too much.
Let's talk about some impressive improvements. The developer has modified the functions of evolutions so we can have more control over the customization of a Creos (the Pokemon in this game). Creos have multiple evolution options. I consulted some documents, finding every Creos has 8 evolutions, and what they evolve into depends on their elemental affinity that we can pick in the creo menu. Creos won’t receive any stat bonus when they evolve but shift the distribution of stats. So it’s possible for your Creos to become weaker after evolution.
One of the major changes of EvoCreo is the battle system. The game has a rechargeable moves system which means you can’t cast the same elemental skill in a row and need to wait for the skill being recharged, so you need to gauge when the right time to use the crucial skill. Ps: the Creo has a loyalty system and it would influence the leveling up speed. It’s also an innovation.
The game content is rich, with more than 30 hours of offline gameplay. It is just like playing a game we were playing on the Game Boy and NDS. There are still some other features that are worth mentioning. But let’s be straightforward. It’s a good game with the same spirit of Pokemon, and they create some of their own features.

• Botworld Adventure ⎮ @SubZero
Botworld Game is an epic open world RPG game produced by Rodeo Stampede.
The game has a mechanic similar to that of a Pokemon game. Basically, in the course of the tutorial, the main character goes along with the bot received as a gift.
You will go on an adventure to the bot world. Defeat Wildbots in the wild, prove your skills in the Arena League and earn new titles. To put it simply, the overall gameplay is quite similar to that of a Pokemon game.
The types of bots are also divided into offensive, defensive, and extreme offensive types.
In particular, since it is a 100% single game, there is little fierce competition with users or P2W elements, so you can play the game according to your own rhythm. So there is less stress on the game.
The various mission categories include main quests, sub-quests, resource collection, league battles, daily adventures, etc. The game content is quite vast. That's why it takes a lot of time to just solve the mission.
The game is a mid-core genre game that all users of all ages can play, and there is a possibility that it can develop into a good enough game because there is little stress or billing factors. Although no new content has been released yet, I think the attitude of the developer to prepare a major update every month is also quite cool.
Botworld Adventures is a well-crafted, fun RPG that drifts closer to the mid-core category than to dig too deep. It's a fun way to waste hours and enjoy the time you spend together.

• Monster Hunter Stories ⎮ @DavyJones
Note that this is a premium game, so you have to buy it to play. If you want to try it out, you can download MHST The Adventure Begins (demo)
The change begins with the Monster Hunter stories. Its appearance totally changed the setting and the game style of the Monster Hunter series, which has always been a deadly conflict between hunters and giant monsters.
In the world of MHS, the protagonist is no longer a hunter, but a young and innocent knight. Rather than being the enemies you should hunt, monsters are actually your trusted partners with whom to fight in every corner of the world.
If you wanna get your monster partners, you need to know two things, hatching eggs, and the gene.
To raise your own monster, you've got to get its egg, and in the game, the only way to get the monster's egg is to sneak into its lair.
Gene is the factor determining how your monster grows. To pass on the skills of monsters to new monsters, so that you can make your strongest monsters. This is quite the Pokemon!
To me, Monster Hunter stories, as a head-to-toe childish game, don't have a lot of depth in their more mundane plot. But this symbiotic adventure world with monsters delivers a completely different experience to traditional Monster Hunter fans.
Whenever possible, monsters that are able to live with humans are the best!

• Beastie Bay ⎮ @Ninjarax
I just laughed hard when the little beast said to me, “haha, gotta catch’em all.”
I would say you either love or hate Kairosoft’s games because they truly look like something that was made in the last century. Me? I love them, a LOT.
Beastie Bay reminds me of Pokemon Go and other monster taming games, but it differentiates itself from others because it has simulation as part of its gameplay.
Exploring the terrain in Beastie Bay, I meet NPC who help me develop my island. Sometimes I discover new spots, like the grocery store, which can be used to attract tourists.
Turning the deserted island into a resort. A decent simulation, as Kairosoft always does.
But of course, monster taming is an essential part of the game!
For a game that is only 40M, the beastie combat is well-designed and pretty fun. Each beast is of a certain elemental strength (water, lighting, earth, wind, fire) and they will learn different skills.
Once the little beasts become my companion, I am able to equip them with the items I loot from battles. Beasties, as well as their equipment, can level up.
The design and description for the beasties are adorable and amusing. For example, when a Crabby is defeated, it is described as “freshly boiled”. This is one particular aspect that I love about this game!

• Pokémon GO ⎮ @#NumbX
The Pokémon series has often been about two things: collecting wonderful creatures and making them fight each other. Based on this, POKÉMON GO uses AR to bring gaming into the real world. Players would take on the role of young Pokémon trainers and collect various Pokémon in real locations.
This amazing game can encourage people to discover people in the real world who also love Pokémon. And it has been an outstanding game since the beginning! The developer Niantic successfully gave us all kinds of experience we wanted.
+ RPG-lite level system combined with collection features
+ Interesting social system
+ Satisfying ongoing updates
- Combat lacks the depth of traditional Pokemon games
- Game performance needs to be improved
That incentive to catch them all keeps me walking outside to catch even more Pokemon. The game is not too complicated and encourages more people to walk around. Everyone could play and encounter each other.
I really feel like the whole world is playing Pokemon Go. I have realized my real-life Pokemon Trainer dream.
