Nintendo Life: 7 / 10 by Trent Cannon

Coromon takes aim at one of the greatest series of all time and, while it isn't any threat to Pokémon's worldwide domination, it is a charming and fun nostalgia trip for fans. Excessive grinding and a story that takes its time to get going mar what is otherwise a worthwhile journey, but if you're a fan of old-school Pokémon, that shouldn't put you off investigating this title up. Whether you're a new trainer or you've been catching 'em all for years now, Coromon has something for you to enjoy.

Gaming Nexus: 7.4 / 10 by Elliot Hilderbrand

It's easy for Coromon to be labeled a clone. It almost begs you to think of it as one. On the surface, it looks like a new set of monsters were dropped into a nearly identical world. But dig a little deeper. A story that doesn't have gyms or badges, customization in both difficulty and player options that you don't see in the competitor. Coromon feels more like a spiritual successor to monster trainer games of decades past. Sharper pixel graphics and features that people ask for are present throughout. The look of Coromon is more refined than what you'd expect from a "clone". If you enjoy collecting monsters, then Coromon has it. If you want a new twist, something that helps define the genre moving forward, you're might be let down.

COGconnected: 70 / 100 by Michael Chow

You might simply write off Coromon as a copy of other games. But think of it as more of a game inspired by previous works. While the inspiration is obvious, various design choices within the gameplay are clear upgrades, including difficulty modifiers and the Milestones feature. If you are a fan of monster collecting games, Coromon is differentiated enough to give it a try.

Coromon is an RPG game, developed by the indie TRAGsoft studio. The main source of inspiration for this game was the best-selling Pokemon series, which had an impact on the graphic design as well as the storyline and mechanics.

Plot

Coromon takes us on a journey to the fantastic land of Velua, where people and the creatures live in harmony. Or at least that was until the mysterious sinister group decided to unleash a powerful dark force. During the game we play the role of a fresh member of Lux Solis organization. The protagonist sets off on a journey through the Velua to gather an army of Coromon and experience incredible adventures with them, and consequently face the danger threatening the whole land.

Mechanics

In Coromon the action is shown from the top-down view. During the game, we travel through the land of Velua consisting of various biomes, conquering more and more powerful Coromon. The latter have been prepared one hundred and twenty, and each of them has individual statistics and skills, which they develop over time. Skillful use of their strengths is the key to success in turn-based clashes with other creatures and the Titans. We are talking about six bosses, who, due to their powerful power, are the ultimate test for the capabilities of our Coromon division. As they live in separate dungeons with obstacles, reaching each of them requires solving a number of ingenious puzzles.

As we progress, we not only increase the combat potential of the Coromon (after gaining a certain amount of experience the creatures receive special points, which are used to conquer statistics), but also unlock new elements of clothing and hairstyle for our hero.
