  • gameplay
    196 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game has been described as a mix of familiar mechanics from Pokémon Go, with added features like spell learning and item collection that enhance the experience. However, the throwing mechanics for capturing creatures have received significant criticism for being inconsistent and frustrating, often leading to player dissatisfaction. While the game offers engaging elements and improved graphics, many players feel that the core mechanics, particularly the throwing system, need substantial refinement to fully realize its potential.

    • “Not only do you catch and battle monsters, you can learn spells and collect objects that open up even cooler mechanics.”
    • “Amazing clone of another game I played, the mechanics of this game are well done and I love that you can unlock things/walk your pet daily by watching ads especially when you are unable to leave the house, excellent idea in my opinion.”
    • “Great gameplay, decent selection of creatures, lots of 'to do's' to retrain creatures, treasure chests, golden egg hunts, and special creature quests.”
    • “There's not much gameplay tutorials from the start.”
    • “The throwing mechanics, the creatures who have no depth when you try to catch them (like a thin sheet of paper), the impossible creatures to catch (1 out of 4 creatures that you try to catch run away, regardless of what you do), the charge move change in the library that you miss 14 straight times, and so on.”
    • “The throwing mechanics are ridiculous.”
  • graphics
    121 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players praising the adorable creature designs and overall visual appeal, while others criticize the quality and performance, noting issues like lag and low resolution. Some users highlight the game's artistic style as a strong point, particularly in comparison to similar titles like Pokémon Go, but there are calls for improvements and updates to enhance the visual experience further. Overall, while the graphics are generally appreciated, there is a consensus that they could benefit from refinement and optimization.

    • “I also love the adorable bestiary and the graphics are so amazing and detailed.”
    • “The graphics are wonderful and this game can be amazing.”
    • “The graphics are smooth and I don't find I glitch much at all.”
    • “Animation is poor, menus, layouts, and art style are copied, also pretty familiar with other clone games from popular games that have ugly low-res text and not legit.”
    • “The graphics suck and it's such a rip-off of Pokémon Go.”
    • “Graphics look like a 3-year-old drew this.”
  • story
    77 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with many players expressing a desire for a more compelling narrative to enhance their experience. While the inclusion of quests and PvP elements adds variety, players feel that the absence of a cohesive storyline diminishes their investment in the game. Overall, the feedback suggests that a stronger narrative foundation could significantly improve player satisfaction and retention.

    • “The quests and variety of things to do are amazing!”
    • “Love all the quests and spells and PvP battles.”
    • “This game is not just a copy of Pokémon Go, it has a lot of features that a lot of people are asking to have in Pokémon Go but Niantic doesn't care, like PvP, daily quests, and it's a lot more stable.”
    • “The biggest to me... no story or even reason for me to be invested in the creatures or gameplay.”
    • “I played till I found the issue and was looking for something besides pogo and I started to like this, till the issue was found and it was the quest map. I had 33 shovels and after walking around for quite a while collecting the fragments for the map that stretch over a 12 block radius on each angle and that's how they get you to try to spend real money because they give you a map without an 'X marks the spot' so after walking around for 2 days of the 5 days of the quest being up with nothing to show for besides 0% of finding anything.”
    • “Not only that, but I went way out of my way to do a quest and it took 5 hours off of my library cooldown... I still don't know what they do, but that was about as useful as the stone buff I got, which for a level 7 is the base stone.”
  • monetization
    36 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the option to watch ads for rewards, which helps maintain interest, especially for those unable to play actively. However, there are significant concerns about the increasing frequency and length of ads, high in-game purchase prices, and a perceived shift towards aggressive cash-grabbing tactics, leading some players to feel frustrated and disillusioned with the game's direction. Overall, while the ad-based rewards system is seen as a positive feature, it is overshadowed by complaints about excessive monetization and a lack of new content.

    • “The pricing for in-game purchases is rather steep and the spawn rate is way too low.”
    • “Some of the microtransactions are outrageously priced.”
    • “The game was great until they changed the income from gyms to encourage more in-app purchases.”
    • “The pricing for in-game purchases is rather steep, and the spawn rate is way too low.”
    • “No new creatures added in 4+ years, and all you do now is watch ads for everything.”
    • “This game has gone to the extreme with cash grabbing.”
  • stability
    33 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability has received mixed feedback, with many users reporting various glitches, such as freezing, animation issues, and GPS sensitivity problems. While some players note improvements and fewer bugs compared to similar games like Pokémon Go, others still experience significant issues that detract from the overall experience. Overall, the game shows potential but requires further refinement to enhance stability.

    • “Not too buggy.”
    • “The glitches are out of control.”
    • “It freezes, creature goes missing & screen turns yellow.”
    • “Every single time I find a new monster and click to catch, the game freezes. Also, when I find a treasure chest, the same thing happens. I feel like this game is rigged.”
  • music
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the soundtrack and its charm, while others criticize it for glitches and repetitiveness. Although the music is described as nice and fitting, issues like unmotivating stops and a mediocre selection detract from the overall experience. Overall, while some appreciate the musical elements, others find them lacking and disruptive.

    • “Overall great game, music and gameplay are really good.”
    • “On the upside... the graphics are great, the creatures are really cool, as are the random battles, and the music is nice.”
    • “Despite having played others very similar, this one has something charming, maybe it is the colors or the music background as well as the design of the monsters.”
    • “Not to mention the fact that sometimes the music glitches and you can hear the same tracks playing at different moments.”
    • “When a 3-minute song finishes before it loads, you're no longer getting exercise... wouldn't even bother anymore.”
    • “Mediocre soundtrack, and holy macaroons the stops are unmotivating.”

    • “Pros: the game runs smoothly.”
