Ngl - I saw some comparisons to digimon world games series in the other recommendations which was a big part of why I decided to give anode heart a try - but to be frank - I wish they had taken some better, or more lessons from digimon... Cuz there's alot of frustrating things in anode heart that I never had struggles with in digimon, like the annoying races, the card gathering, the unfocused questing, the incredibly limited evolution trees, benched team feels redundant, among other issues...
All that being said though, I am slowly working my way through it (hopefully I wont burn out b4 I finish with this game, but so far, I can atleast say that it atleast still beats pokemon.)
Very torn on wether I should recommend this game or not tbh, but I am not completely burned out yet so I'll air on the side of caution and give it a small thumbs up
Final edit: Yea no, I think I'm done with this game, I can't muster the interest... Way more costly than I usually get out of 9 hours, but I'm past the refund mark, so... I'll change my recommendation and suggest anyone looking at it to wait for a sale.

This game surprised me in a lot of ways. It's really fun, and I like the areas and broad story. I feel like it really understates itself-it moves really quickly through things that I wouldn't have minded taking longer, and as a result it feels less polished than it actually is which is a little bit of a bizarre feeling. It is a very unique experience across the board. If you like creature catchers or rpgs with themes of integrated-reality-cyberspace or trans-humanism you will probably like this game.

wow is this game good. the demo has 3 hours of content alone so my play time is closer to 7 hours about, its semi open world, monster taming goodness... you have 3 monsters if they get wiped your done, but 3 backups to swap out to. however you cant swap them in combat its only for more options. theres a mini card game which is neat, overall the graphics and story are pretty good and the amount of love put into the npcs is dope... you slowly grow a town with more npcs that you help along the way which can net you things like opening more shops to buy more stuff to opening a school, or sometimes you need to have a certain number of npcs at the town to open gates and other passeges.. very fun,
i love the large selection of monsters to tame, 140+ is insane, tons of moves they can learn from other monsters when battleing is a cool touch too. theres a rebirth system to keep your monsters growing strong similar to dragon quest monsters which is my all time fave monster collecting game ever. you can also equip the monsters in this game, called tama with upgrades 5 per monster, which is similar to dqm as well with items and whatnot.
love the overall customization of the game, which is one of my fave things to do in monster collecting games :) A++ review for this game
