Not counting my steps…

I downloaded this game because I thought it would be a fun way to keep track of my steps, and I love the idea of collecting monsters. I work two jobs and walk about 12,000 steps a day between both of them. I made sure my Health app was up to date and the pedometer was working. It is. But this game only registered 23 steps…. Across 3 working days. I would open my health app and check my steps, then exit out of this game and reboot it. Same thing, only 23 steps were registered. I’m not sure what happened. It was counting my steps before, for maybe about the first 4 hours that I had it… then it just stopped.

Really cute game!

I don’t see any of the bugs reported in other reviews, and the game is really fun! I haven’t had it for long but it’s encouraged me to walk far more than Pokémon go or other walking games! The artstyle and creatures are all really cute! The intro is a really neat way to tell you what’s happened and the little fight scenes are just the perfect difficulty!

Fun, cute, charming and interesting.

I love this game! It’s so nice earning currency just by walking. Then when I’m sitting I can play the game for 5 minutes and put it down. A unique and cozy way to pass the time. It’s enjoyable but not addicting, which is really nice. I also love the cute style, it reminds me of a game boy advance game.

Stuck?

I’ve been playing for awhile and as far as I can tell I’ve unlocked all of the map except for the islands. It says I need a monster that can jump there, but none of the monster descriptions say anything about that. I’ve also finished the chapter quests and maxed out my base, so I’m not sure if I’m just done now?

Fun but definitely still just starting

I like this game a lot I just would like more ways to level up my monsters such as using duplicates and more guidance on where and what I’m supposed to be doing,

Good game but

I love this game, but I very much dislike the newest update where fighting is not an option for some monsters. The timing mechanism and step counter does not seem to work right when I close the app, making it so I always fail the chases, flirts, and survives. I would love if I could just fight them like before.

Good, no direction

I checked the reviews literally to see what I’m missing, and turns out super common issue. There is hardly any direction, and when there is it’s just “go do this” maybe with a “go here to do it” with no information on where that is or what is happening

No idea how I unlocked the void island achievement, or how I managed to miss the void walker but that was zero guiding. Still haven’t found anything labeled “void walker”

The jump skill? I’ve been through all my monsters, and cannot figure out any with special skills. Some are “unusually strong” but are lower levels than other monsters and definitely weaker. Hard to tell when they’ll do 100 or 300 damage.

I know we’re trying to get away from spoon feeding games, but a map? A droplet of information?

Updates but no actual update

I’ve cleared the map and there was a recent update that allows us to access previously untraveled maps. But they require a specific monster that can cross diagonally? That pop-up shows up once and never again. No instructions how to get said monster-I already cleared the whole map and no way to meet “new” monsters so I’m stuck again

Good game

So far it seems like a good game. Definitely need a better way to tell how much damage monsters will do. And slightly frustrated with the map. Idk if I’m just being blind but I can’t find a way to get to any of the stuff in the upper right. All the paths I see have water separating them. As far as I can tell I’ve cleared the rest of the map. Hopefully they add more/make it so you can get to the rest soon.

Great premise, needs work

I want to love this app so much but it’s a huge bummer that I can see so much of the map that I can’t actually get to. I’ve cleared all that I can but there are islands that have no way to access them.

Simple and relaxing

Fun little motivation to get your steps in, especially if you check in on your game multiple times a day. There is a bit of a learning curve with sorting your monsters, and I wish the farming had more stuff.

I like the game

I enjoy the game, however, I’ve reached a point where there is no where else to go. I don’t know if it is my phone or the game but it seems to have stopped updating the map.

Fun game

It’s a fun game but I’ve run into the issue where I’ve collected all of the monsters and uncovered all of the land that is connected to each other. I can’t get to the little islands and there are no monsters left to collect or land I have access to that I can uncover (unless there’s a way to get to the islands that I don’t know about)

Great concept

Update: I finished the game within a few days. But it was fun and motivating, I’m sure once it’s further in development it will be great

I really like it but there could be more instruction on certain things. You can tell it’s early in development but I’m excited to see where it goes!

Is there only 8 chapters?

Did I inadvertently speed run this game in 5 days? There must be more… is there?

Fun little game

Although needs a sound setting

Battling

Please bring back the last update battling way this new one is not very good I miss the old way when your team brings you your ability’s then you can choose the upgrades after a round or two so please bring back the last update battle way

Motivational

I loved playing through this game! It really motivated me to get all my steps in. I can’t wait for them to finish or make progress on it. (I finished it)

Silly But Missing things

Okay so, overall I really liked the game. I usually play it on my down time and by then I already have max steps so I don’t have to wait. I like collecting the monsters and I am so thankful for the farms.

One thing that made me frustrated however, was the cards. The cards themselves aren’t much of a problem but both the sorting system and data need to be reworked. I cannot find how much damage my monsters do until I place then as party leader or until I level them which uses a lot of resources. If the data was already available then it would be much easier to use. Additionally, there aren’t many ways to sort your monsters. You can’t sort them manually so your only option is the recent one. I typically use them based off of power so it makes it hard to reference and compare them. Another thing, I wish the map would be bigger. I know we can zoom out, but even then it’s difficult to navigate due to not seeing the whole map. Maybe if there was a separate map or a guiding system it would be easier.
Overall, still pretty good for beta.

Good Game

This is a really good game from when it first started to where it’s now. I have played this game since the beginning. It had its up and downs but mostly ups. There is still a few things need to be improved and I think the game can become really good game with some new maps and some new characters and hero customization. Also can we get friends and battle each other and their team. I feel like this can become Pokémon go and Whiteout survival at the same time. Developers can we plz get these this will make the game really fun
