It’s just a legally distinct monster trainer game without too much more to offer. This sort of ties into my main problem with this game. It sounds so close to the usual tropes of a Pokemon game that you could have told me that was the plot of the next installment and I’d believe you. Build up a squad of Coromon, track down the invaders, and grapple with a rising threat that endangers everyone on Velua!” It’s your first day and everything goes smoothly until a mysterious force attacks your latest workplace. “The sun begins to dawn on Velua, a new day for the world and a new day for you, a freshly minted Battle Researcher of the global research society known as Lux Solis. However, this feeling goes beyond the gameplay. The gameplay is basically a direct copy of any pixelated Pokemon game, which is what you would expect from something like this. The roster of monsters in Coromon are most certainly not a recolor of that featured in Pokemon red or yellow.Įverything else about the game feels like a Pokemon fan game, though. None of the creatures you tame and battle with in Coromon look like bootleg versions of Pokemon, with each one feeling like a fully unique and visually interesting design.
One thing Coromon definitely has going for it is its’ monster design. It does it so blatantly that looking at the game itself gives you an uncanny valley kind of feeling, because it is quite literally just Pokemon with the creatures changed. More than just an inspiration, this game takes everything from its gameplay, to its world design, to the structure of the plot and tropes straight out of the Pokemon series. Coromon is Pokemon, and I don’t say that to be rude.
When Coromon calls itself “a modern take on the classic monster-taming genre”, that genre in question is less of a genre and more like a single franchise. Let’s start out by calling Coromon what it is. You can take one look at it and know what exactly what you’re getting. My biggest gripe with the game is exactly that.
Despite everything I’m going to say below, if you go into Coromon with a realistic understanding of what the game is, then you will probably enjoy yourself. The art of Coromon is fantastic, and I can honestly recommend it on that fact alone. Coromon, which calls itself a “creature collector” game, proudly proclaims itself as “a modern take on the classic monster-taming genre.” How much of that claim holds true? I took a dive into Coromon to find out for myself, and I came up with some mixed feelings.īefore I get into the game’s flaws, it would be criminal not to mention the beautiful pixel art style. Coromon is the latest game from developer TRAGsoft and publisher Freedom Games.
