Dokimon Steam Charts & Stats

Ive been following this game on twitter for a while and was excited when a youtuber recomended it, but the game crashes far too often. When im exploring menus, switching monsters, even when i finish important boss fights. Will hopefully come back after afew patches

OK. Yes its going for a classic Pokemon vibe, and Visually, its fantastic. The writing in places leaves a lot to be desired, the combat is fine, and i actually like a few of the changes on how monster abilities work, but none of it is explained, i found it by chance. You apply exp points to boost stats, and you have full control over what abilities your mon's have, you select one and scroll a list to pick your favourites, i like this, but i can imagine many would go much of the game not knowing these new abilities are available, or they have points they need to be spending. Mon types are ambiguous, its hard to tell is at all, what types they are and what you should be using based on visual design. Other trainers don't aggro to you outside of key figures, you need to speak with them and then you decide if you want to battle or not. They can also be battled again immediately with no change in dialogue. You also just stumble upon the main villains, no build up, or explanation or anything its just their base and you wander in. The game feels unpolished. Its made in an engine built in game maker called MonMae, a sort of RPG maker type deal, that from what i can tell was made by the games developer. And Dokimon seems to be a vehicle for driving sales of their engine. Its an impressive feat, and something i may get myself, but i wish Dokimon had a bit more polish, as its definitely clear a lot of work and care went into its creation. Again, the game is visually fantastic, and has enough meat to warrant a buy, but i do feel its lack of polish, doesnt justify the full price tag, this is a when at least 50% off buy imo.

I was only able to give this game an hour for now, but I plan to come back to it. I just want to leave this as a thank you to the developer for making an interesting game with unique creatures and a nostalgic gloss. I remember being between 10-12 and it was my brother's birthday, and one of his birthday gifts was Yellow. We would spend hours playing and finding every creature we could to make the best team, and this game brings back some of those memories of the days where I would turn to him and ask if it was my turn. There are some differences though and it's not that I'm over 30. The creatures look unique and some are quite nice. I struggled a little to pick my starter and ended up choosing the cuddly teddy that could burn my enemies. The elements are similar to other games, but fresh such as Fairy is weak to Light attacks. Items, such as a katana, are not equippable by you or your mons and instead are used to find alternate paths or hidden items, which takes away my Rerouni Kenshin cosplay idea. Moves are learned as the mons level up and are stored in a move pool that you can select, and of course you have your stat points per level but instead of them being pre-selected, you are given the choice at your leisure. There's also affinity points that boost stats and those as you can tell are earned as the mons grow to like you. So there's this amazing self narrative right away that clicks for me where I can stick to a current mon and learn and grow with them, or switch it for something else. Later on, it may be difficult to let go of some of them just to try a different one and I'll cry as hard as Ash freeing his strongest team members before losing an important match. The music I feel is the weakest to me, for example when you start the game it immediately plays this dark tone in atmosphere and story. A little girl lost in the woods and surrounded by menacing monsters, but the vibe is ruined with a cheery beat that has been playing since I was able to explore. This could have been a bug though because I was playing with the 8 bit and piano just before progressing. Honestly, that part had my most interest. Remember those ads for Evertale? The darker tone and mystery of a monster collecting/training genre? Sure that game was a lie, but that's the first thought that came to me when I saw this scene. To sum up my review, this game is brings back nostalgia from all of my past favorite genres like, Digimon, Pocket Monsters, Cardcaptor Sakura, and Dragon Quest - and that makes my heart scream like the first time I saw the Digimon Movie. I review this game as, "I'm Greymon now, *que the Digimon soundtrack*/10"

fun creature colllector with a bit of a darker story, its a nice way to spend an evening or three

Saw a post about this game online the other weekend, then saw it later that day on sale on steam and picked it up. Its a fun little monster collector with some cool monsters. Had fun playing through it, and would recommend to anyone looking for something similar to but not quite pokemon.

So, I had fun with this game for 8 of the hours I played. However, right before the end the game is not clear on what to do and where to go, nor is there ever any guidance on where to find certain Elite Trainers. This makes the game extremely frustrating and tedious since one will now have to backtrack to figure out what is missed in order to progress. Many bugs still persist, too, and many areas are still "under construction" with no time-frame or even conformation when they will be completed. Furthermore, when there is new content. little guidance is given. Like in the newest content update: it introduces flying, but there is, again, no guidance on how to unlock this mechanic for use. For example, I found the dude in the last city and have a flight license, but yet he wants me to find an item. What item? He never tells me what it is called, where to go to look for it, nothing. I'm fine with not to much direction in games, but this is just terrible design through-and-through. Thus, Dokimon Quest gets a 4/10, and if one wants to scratch that pokemon-esque gaming itch, I highly recommend getting Nexomon 1 & 2 instead of this, unless this is on-sale for 80% off or more.
