    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.

    Battle mechanics and gameplay are solid, although type variety is low and there don't seem to be any dual-types which is disappointing.

Monster design, graphics, and OST are charming, while it borrows from the Pokemon formula it's distinctive enough to have its own identity and so far I'd argue it does a better job of it than Nexomon & Temtem. The reduced multiplayer component compared to other games in the genre is a slight letdown but it's easy enough to find all the mons without trading & the battle scene is alive and well.… Expand

    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.

    Imagine if Pokemon never went all pseudo-3d after Diamond/Pearl, this is Coromon. I'm loving this game so far. I'm sure there's a hefty demo on Steam to try but the game cost me less than $15 anyways.

    Any looking for a proper 'mon itch. Play this, you won't regret it

    Fun, experience can be customized for replayability but too many puzzles :)

    Battle animations are very, very slow. Even setting text speed to fastest possible it still just takes way too long for battles to commence. Why do I need to dismiss 5 separate XP messages one after another, every time, when it could just be summarized in 1 screen instead?

    Controls are a bit iffy with keyboard+mouse. Cannot bind abilities to different hotkeys. Have to hold F for a few    Battle animations are very, very slow. Even setting text speed to fastest possible it still just takes way too long for battles to commence. Why do I need to dismiss 5 separate XP messages one after another, every time, when it could just be summarized in 1 screen instead?

    Controls are a bit iffy with keyboard+mouse. Cannot bind abilities to different hotkeys. Have to hold F for a few seconds, then select ability, then cancel out of screen, and only then can an ability be used. A process that should be instant (with hotkeys) takes 5+ seconds per action instead.

    Potential system is a bit of hit and miss for me. In order to get a "perfect" coromon (biggest statgrow), it needs to have a potential of 21. I have never seen a 21 in the wild but found three 20s. You can use a machine to upgrade the potential of a coromon for gold, however this system is flawed as it will mostly not work (20 stays 20, and removes ability to retry). What this results in is a very tedious process of saving, giving your monster to an NPC, walking around for a few minutes, and then seeing it didn't work. Reload the save and repeat the process a good 20 or so times per coromon. Not only does this feel super stupid, but it's a gigantic waste of time, too. Instead of making things super low probability, requiring reloads and retries over and over, just up the price and make it reliable.

    Story and Quests were cliché but works. Around 34 hrs to complete on normal difficulty. Light puzzle elements, which i found mostly easy but someone who hates puzzles might struggle with. Milestone rewards/level reached too early. Last third of the game or so didn't get any more rewards from milestones. Ending and last 2 areas felt rushed. Lack of side quests or interesting stuff the further you progress.

    There is online play which I didn't really get into because it requires all those time-wasting grind mechanics (plus fruit grind) multiplied by a factor of a thousand. Not my thing.

    Overall, many time-wasting mechanics, made me not want to hunt for a completion. If there was a "fast battleanimation" setting, and bindable hotkeys for overworld skills, and reliable potentification I believe I would have had a lot more fun. It's a decent Pokémon clone, but doesn't excel.    … Expand

    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.
