Chronomon

Great game!

Okay, dev is responsive and working on updates real time, so I'll switch to a positive review for now; but there are still some rough spots on this game. The game is super fun, as you can see I've put a lot of time in and plan on putting in more. Quality of Life Updates I'd like to see: ---------------------------------------- 1. Enemies have almost 100% hit chance. You can give an enemy -5 Accuracy and they still hit 50% or more of the time and they can give you -1 Accuracy and you have at least a 50% miss chance, even if you're 5+ levels above them. I'm guessing they always have some sort of multiplier on all their stats? Maybe tone it down a bit. 2. TOO MANY STATUS EFFECT CURES. If we're going to be given a tiny inventory, we can't be expected to carry a Burn, Poison, Paralyze, Concussion, Freeze, Stun AND Revive potions. Plus food, cures and ethers. That's 1/2 or more of the inventory, unincluding tools. Make a "Remedy" that only works outside combat or something and cures all of them. 3. At night, you have about a 15% chance to get attacked PER STEP. So you get 5-10 steps between random encounter battles after 7:00pm. If you have to walk from one side of a map to another, that's like 3-5 encounters. 4. There are swarms of enemies all over the place. You have up to 6 chronomon in your group. If 1 enemy aggros onto you, they often bring 1-2 allies with them; but you have to fight them 1 vs 3. I don't mind the feature; but maybe make the swarm have like a 40-50% level reduction or something and 1 leader who's like 10% over the area level. So, in a level 16 area you have 1 mob at level 18 and 3-4 mobs that are level 8-10. A little more manageable. 5. Inventory space is obnoxious at the beginning. Like most games of the genre, they should just make a tool belt or tool inventory. Especially seeing as there are random drops everywhere. That's a lot of juggling you don't have to do. 6. There is SO MUCH you can do in this game that's just not told to you. For example: You can build special rooms to gain special benefits. So cool; but I only found this because of the wiki! For the love of god, add a bookcase to the house with tooltips on farm construction tips! Even better, make special rooms unlocked as you level! 7. Leveling is a CHORE in this game. Like....kill 500+ monsters to get half your party ready for the second area. My best suggestion is make each Mon gain 5% of the exp from each kill, plus 1% per 2 player levels. Maybe have the Unity Charm double this bonus? That would make leveling the whole party a little easier. 8. Make skills learned permanently. Allow players to go into the menu and manually swap skills around. Maybe make any skill swapped in instantly go to 0 remaining uses for balance. This would also address farm mons leveling. 9. Levi has the worst parts of everyone's schedule in Stardew. Give him a work order terminal in his house for when he's away. 10. Add player equipment that can be swapped in game and give some real treasure in mine treasure rooms. So far I've gotten 3 pieces of wood and 3 pieces of grass between 3 different treasure rooms. 11. Anything harvested by Mons seems to be base quality. Would be nice to see mon level affect this somehow. Maybe every 10 mon levels counts for 1 level in their respective skills (like the farmer's skills). 12. The first SIM creator requires Iron. So you're looking at probably 20-30 hours of grinding to build something that gives you access to a core feature of the game. Until you're level 20-25 and can survive in the mines (meaning, you need probably 4-5 level 20ish mons) and reach level 20, you're stuck with the base SIM. It would be nice to have access to the second tier of SIMs earlier in the game or make leveling less punishing. 13. Maybe make a better gym feature? I was thinking a 1 day membership for a Mon for 100 credits. Gives them 25+(Farmer Level x 2) experience and you can pick them up the next day. A 1 week membership for 500 credits. Gives them 200+(Farmer Level x 15) experience and you can't pick them up for 7 days. And a seasonal membership for 2000 credits. Gives them 1200+(Farmer Level x 75) experience and you can't pick them up for 35 days. Would be a great way to level a storage mon if you have the credits. Other bugs the Dev is looking into; but not fixed yet: 1. No way to reset your password if you forget it or make a typo. So, if you cloud save and forget your password you are ****ed. 2. Game doesn't always want to start. Sometimes takes multiple attempts to boot up. 3. For some reason, the controller won't select the one tool I need to use on the hot bar. It literally skips over it and won't let me use it. 4. Controls lag a bit on controller. If I split a pile and go to sell it, it won't always let me. 5. When I upgrade a tool, I'd like the one I click on to stay highlighted. I would also like to see a tool tip for what upgrading actually does under each tool. 6. Monsters sit at the barn hungry instead of eating. Even if you haven't unlocked the barn. Which means they'll do nothing all day but sit at the dilapidated barn door and do nothing. 7. Monsters that level on the farm don't upgrade skills or evolve as far as I can tell? Would be nice to see them level. As for skills, read QoL suggestion.
