Batomon Showdown

连接不上服务器绝望

My favorite autobattler to date. The updates are quick, you can submit bugs and feedback in discord and the dev answers almost everything. Some comps will be easier or stronger for the first part of this journey. But so far, there has been so much love in this game, that the fun outweighs the few times the meta gets annoying to deal with (Plat rank or higher).

I played a LOT of the demo and got to rank #1000 masters, so my full release playtime doesn't really represent how much I've played this gem. This game is absolutely awesome. I love tft and the bazaar, and this game to me feels like the best bits of both. There is an almost overwhelming amount of build variety and the trainer classes mean that even running similar builds can feel very different in any given run based on your class ability. A lot of the individual lil creatures have a lot of identity too, cause there's a lot of interesting ability designs that make it so even if you're doing like, a poison build, there's a lot of different little guys you can use to have a lot of different ways to approach it. And there's a lot to be said for the game's aesthetic too, its clearly very inspired by pokemon but I think what the game does well is that it doesn't feel restricted by its inspiration. Some of the batomon designs are pretty obviously inspired by a particular pokemon, but a large majority of them are cool unique designs, and I think the pixel art style feels very nostalgic for old pokemon sprites, but also feels really clean and aesthetically pleasing. In general I really like that the game's visuals are quite simple and organised, cause it makes my autism brain happy, and I think the artist used the simplicity really well to make a great feeling ui. For me this game is a 10/10 roguelike autobattler, and I can't recommend it enough for anyone who likes the genre, or enjoys this game's vibe
