I would have loved a middle ground option to just bump up every enemy monster’s level a bit to make things more challenging, so unfortunately I think going from normal to nuzlocke with no in-between is a bit extreme and a missed opportunity, but I deeply appreciate the thought and effort to even consider giving players any options at all. I went with normal, as hard is basically a nuzlocke run, where if your monster faints, they’re gone from your party forever. You can choose between easy, normal, hard and insane. When you get to the traditional monster lab to get your first monster friend, you’re actually given a difficulty option, something that Pokémon has needed since its introduction in 1996.

I’m not done gushing yet as quality of life improvements abound. I feel seen, TRAGsoft, and I appreciate you. Yes, for once you’re not stuck being a ten year old and my grown ass man child self can be represented accurately on screen.

#WHEN DOES COROMON COME OUT SKIN#
Skin color, a ton of clothing options, hair styles and accessories, even beards. Upon starting the game I’m immediately taken back to the early days of Pokémon with the delightful pixel graphics, a big difference right out the gate however is that Coromon lets you customize the heck out of your trainer right from the jump. Number two, fans of the genre are getting spoiled and happy with all of these fresh takes on the classic formula that introduce long overdue quality of life improvements and more importantly, refreshing new ideas. Number one, some of them are going to do things better than Pokémon, which will force The Pokémon Company to actually have to compete with something for the first time in 25 years and actually grow outside their comfort zone. There are two good things about this new class of monster-catching games. So without further ado, here are my first impressions of Coromon by TRAGsoft.
#WHEN DOES COROMON COME OUT FULL#
The latest in the line of challengers has finally arrived on the Nintendo Switch, and I was very eager to grab my backpack full of monster catching devices and potions and other genre relevant bric-a-brac and set out on a brand new adventure with some cool creatures I’ve never seen before. The past couple years we’ve seen a slew of challengers step up to take on the champion, between new games like Temtem, Monster Sanctuary, Nexomon, hell even Monster Rancher is making a comeback with a re-release of the first two games, not to mention Monster Hunter Stories coming back with an excellent sequel. Monster RPG fans have been eating good lately, Pokémon isn’t the only monster taming kid on the block anymore. There’s just something about it that hits the spot, like eating your favorite meal after a long day at work. You could dare say the monster catching RPG is one of, if not my favorite genre of video game, it’s damn close. Little known ( big known) fact about little old me, I absolutely love Pokémon games.
