The game builds on a familiar foundation but isn't afraid to experiment, an aspect that the slightly stagnant Pokémon franchise should adopt and dig into its core mechanics. Coromon simply bets on variation, and the bet pays off. [Issue#319]

Coromon is a game that wants to look at Pokemon from another angle and disappears too much in other details. We capture creatures with instruments that return to the ball place and save the world every once in a while. However, with the exception of the puzzles that infuriate you, lovers of the genre will play with great pleasure.

Coromon is a game filled with potential but past sinking sands and perplexing puzzles it starts to fall flat. Fans of the genre will be delighted by the levels of customization thanks to the potential system and easy skill switching. Though, once you beat the roughly twenty-three or so hour campaign you'll find little to do. While some elements are stated to be getting worked on, two months after release, the game is still the same. Hopefully those who are waiting on the delayed Switch and mobile release will get them at the same time as any major updates to the game. For the PC and budget gamer, however, this is still a fine choice, and there is an accessible demo letting you play the start of the game. The shake-ups do let Coromon stand on its own and create an enjoyable experience, but it could’ve evolved to be something a little more.

One of the worst Pokémon clone I have ever played, there's no depth to the Coromon, they don't have unique lore that makes each Coromon feel special, they are super generic. They have no special stats like EVs and IVs, which makes Pokémon feel more real and special, but Coromons have none of that. Characters are super cringe, some can take on mosters that are legendary (rolls eyes). The story is one of the the worst, the enemies always scale to your level despite you putting in hours of grinding and effort. The worst part is the ending, you fight the final boss like 7x in a row, and no I'm not kidding, it felt like the fakest, most cringe padding to make the monster feel "unbeatable". Avoid this game.

As a huge Pokémon fan I can say: The worldbuilding is done well, the characters are one of a kind; the pure fact that the protagonist can talk and has a personality alone differentiates it so much from Pokémon. Creative Coromon, inventive take on what Pokémon could also be, offers official in-game options to randomize or activate hard mode. In general, it is a very fun experience I can only recommend, if people are into RPG's and especially Pokémon (also it's not as expensive as an official Pokémon game, so definitely worth a try). The style is very cute, there's achievements to collect, you can buy alternate skins for some Coromon (you can get enough gems in-game, without needing to spend real money on it), quality-of-life features, etc. Not perfect, but beautiful indeed, I highly recommend trying it yourself.

Игра для любителей Покемонов с кучей загадками, сюжет банальный, но не плохой, много гриндить надо пока закончить локацию. Графика приятная, может по началу казалось старинной, но со временем стиль хорошо вписался. Музыка приятная. Из минусов мало видов Покемонов и очень, очень много загадок. Бывало раздражало от такого количества. Игра проходится за 20 часов без проблем.

Coromon is clearly a passion project - one that is attempting to revitalize this subgenre of RPGs with knowledge gleaned from being fans of the genre and seeing what other fans have done. From self-imposed challenges to requests for additional quality of life updates, it is done remarkably well. This reviewer recommends Coromon to anyone that is even marginally interested in the monster tamer genre, since it breathes new life and offers a clear showing of passion from the developers. It’s a game made by fans, for fans.

A renewal of the monster-collection genre, Coromon takes the well-loved gameplay formulas of its genre predecessors and polishes them for the modern era. By providing unique twists on traditional turn-based combat, a delightful presentation, and a slew of quality-of-life enhancements, Coromon delivers a nostalgic adventure filled with wonder. While it may occasionally stick a little too faithfully to its RPG roots for the less patient creature-collectors, there’s a whole heap of juicy monster content here for any budding trainer looking for a refreshing take on a classic style of game.

HOLY SMOKES this game is absolutely fantastic. It looks so polished and well thought out. I-I have never played such a good monster taming game. I was used to very low standards with all the mainline Pokemon games that I forgot what makes them fun and interesting. I really don't know if I can ever play a mainline Pokemon game again. lol. It has charm, polish AND style.

The game feels like it’s meant for those who miss the GBA-era glory days, and it may just satisfy if these particular limiting factors can be overlooked. And, with all that said, it’s certainly a step in the right direction when looking toward the future of a genre that’s more or less being monopolized by Pokemon.

Coromon is something that clearly comes from a place of great respect. Pokemon fans will likely find a game that appreciates what people love about the first five generations of Game Freak's franchise, and even when things get a little clunky there's enough for users to enjoy.

Coromon is a game with a lot of promise that builds on the Pokemon formula. Is it perfect? Not quite yet. I’d say the balance is slightly off in many ways. But it is still a lot of fun. It also feels like a solid first step. I’d love to see a sequel that incorporates new types, dual types, and adds more creatures.

An appealing riff on the Pokémon role-playing formula which, while a little too safe, has enough small deviations and improvements to justify its existence.

I’ve scrutinized Coromon pretty thoroughly, I’m not going to deny that. But I don’t think that my decision to do so was unfair. When you’re going to directly compare yourself to something that’s already been established, you open yourself up to the criticism, both positive and negative, that comes along with it. And, truly, there was a bit of both when it came to my outlook on Coromon. Was there a bit more negative than positive? Sure. I think that this game has a way to go (perhaps via means of a sequel) before I could truly say that I’m satisfied with it. But is the potential there? Yeah, absolutely. Between the gorgeous creature spritework and the way that the game simultaneously handles stat distribution and “shiny” hunting via the Potential system, there are some true moments of brilliance tucked away with in this game. And I’d like that brilliance to, *ahem*, shine bright. But it’s going to need some work to get to that stage. And only time will tell if it ever actually gets there.

O jogo é extremamente divertido e com uma história surpreendente dado que achei que teria uma grande proximidade com pokemon. Trilha sonora super envolvente bem como a história que é extremamente agradável. Me envolvi muito, parabéns aos desenvolvedores. Só falta uma coisa: Colocara coromons lendários e expandir o final do jogo com mais coisas após zerar! 10/10. Conseguiu agregar tudo que faltava nos pokemons!
