![]() The world of Monster Crown is quite interesting where it has similarities with other games from the genre while also feeling quite different as well. While I like the charm of the Pokemon series, I found it intriguing to play a more adult Pokemon style game. I found this to be a pretty interesting twist on your typical monster training game. ![]() This even applies to the gameplay as it gives you gameplay options like losing creatures for good if they lose all of their health in combat. The world just doesn’t have the same charming/rose colored glasses feel as the Pokemon titles. The world has had a number of recent wars, the existence of monsters lead to deaths, and the villains in the world are more realistic. If Pokemon actually existed, I think the world that would result would be close to Monster Crown’s than Pokemon’s. The game is far from a mature game, but it does delve into more adult topics which ultimately makes it feel more realistic than Pokemon. While it is obvious that Monster Crown was inspired by Pokemon, the game also has a decidedly more adult feel to it than its inspiration. Outside of having strong creatures in your party, you need to take advantage of type advantages in order to succeed in battle. Each type is strong against one type and weak against another. The battles rely on a sort of rock, papers, scissors mechanic where each move and creature has an associated type. Your goal is to deplete your opponent’s health before they do the same to you. You and your opponent take turns using various attacks. The battle system is similar to your typical monster training game. Once a monster joins your team you can use them in future fights. Once you have weakened a monster you can offer it a pact in order to join your team. Throughout your adventures you will get into monster battles. The game actually shares quite a bit in common with the older Pokemon games. If it wasn’t already really obvious, Monster Crown was clearly inspired by the Pokemon series. Monster Crown is an interesting more adult twist on the typical Pokemon formula which leads to an interesting game that is held back by some bugs. Well Monster Crown has finally made its way to PlayStation today giving me a good reason to check it out. One of those games was Monster Crown which released on PC around a year and a half ago and made its way to Nintendo Switch last October. ![]() There have been a number of indie games that have tried their own twist on the formula over the years. While I am not as big of a fan of the franchise as I once was, the basic premise behind the Pokemon franchise still interests me. I quickly became a huge fan of the franchise as the gameplay was quite addicting. When I was a kid I remember when I received my first Pokemon game.
