I watched a lot of the game via streams and I think there's promise... if they continue development.
The fact that they offer soo much custominzation options lets you play the game however the hell you want, which is kinda nuts. Having sliders for like, making catching harder or easier, how much exp you gain, how many rewards you get, etc is actually cool.
The map is HUGE, just the issue is that outside of the few bosses... not a lot to do. Only reason you have to explore is to catch the pals that live in those areas, and once you have them, you have no real reason to return.
I'll hold my judgement for now cause, there's actually a solid game there, just, it needs stuff to do.
