To quote Cat Stevens, “Ooh baby, baby, it’s a wild world.” To me, Monster Crown is one of those games where the more you put into it, the more you get out of it. That being said, even if you don’t extensively explore off the beaten path, Monster Crown is not super difficult to complete. Yes, there are some good story beats, but wanderlust and the robust monster breeding system are Monster Crown‘s calling cards. The story doesn’t offer many incentives to stray far off the beaten path you need to be intrinsically motivated to explore. If you’re looking for a compelling story with plot-based motives to do stuff, you won’t really find that here. If you like exploring simply for the sake of exploring, this game will appeal to you. Monster Crown may look like an old-school Pokèmon game from the Game Boy Color days, but with its sinister storyline and occasional use of foul language, it presents itself as an edgier alternative for those who played their first Pokèmon game during childhood and are now teens or adults looking for that same experience, albeit more grown-up.Ĭrown Island, Monster Crown‘s world, has a kind of untamed, less cultivated vibe, like a place that hasn’t been fully explored yet it’s almost like the US during the early stages of Western expansion. Another challenger in this arena is Monster Crown, the debut title from Studio Aurum. The glut of these are derisively referred to as “pokè-clones” even if some are good in their own right.Įven now, in 2021, games like Nexomon, Temtem, Coromon, and more try to compete with Nintendo and Game Freak’s juggernaut. Ever since Pokèmon exploded onto the scene, other companies have tried to craft their own “creature collecting” games to get a piece of that market. Ten-year-olds who were enthralled by Pokèmon Red & Blue back in the late 1990s are now in their mid-30s, and many still enjoy playing Pokèmon games, perhaps with their own children. It’s hard to believe that Pokèmon has been around for 25 years and is still a popular and viable multimedia entity.
