    Speaking of virtual pets, this isn’t an Om Nom version of Tamagotchi, as there’s now growing, evolution, or changes to Om Nom. Instead, it’s more like Touch Pet Dogs in caring for a fully grown pet, and just keeping up with day to day needs.

    Aside from the movement controls, Terra Monsters is mechanically well put together. The monsters look good, too. The problem is that everything else comes up short. It looks nice, and it does some interesting things with what could have otherwise been a bland combat system, but it drops the ball in so many other basic areas that it's actually rather hard to enjoy it. There's no real harm in downloading it for free and sampling the first island, though.
