Was your favorite part of playing Pokémon growing up spending hours doing mindless grinding? Do you want timers placed on just about every action you can possibly take short of taking a breath? Do you enjoy enemy density so ungodly high they won’t even leave you alone in your nightmares? Well have I got the game for you! In fairness, the character design is incredibly solid, with the general vibe the world gives off being immaculate. Exploring each area is a blast, at least the first time. The only problem is that you’ll be seeing each of these areas more times than you can count trying to farm the ridiculous number of materials required to upgrade your bots. Exasperating this is the combat system, which, while not terrible, is relatively uninvolved, leaving the unholy number of enemies you have to fight to grate on your psyche more than any other game I’ve played. If this was just a short and sweet $5-$15 rpg on steam or something instead of a free-to-start mobile game I think it would really excel, it’s just that in this state everything has to be drawn out so ridiculously far that any fun you are having will be quickly rung out of you through the most monotonous grinding I’ve ever experienced. This frustration at the lack of progression pushes you right to the shop, where for the low low price of $10 you can get your hands on a nifty epic bot frame to make things just oh so much easier, or the obligatory battle pass I will never forgive Fortnite for popularizing. If you aren’t willing to shell out some cash prepare yourself for the most mind meltingly slow rpg experience available.
Thanks for your feedback, we appreciate it. We will keep doing our best to improve the game and introduce new and exciting features in the future. Thank you.
