Chonky - From Breakfast to Domination

tldr: Its still early but Chonky looks promising (especially the "evolving" skill system). ---{ Graphics }--- ☐ You forget what reality is ☐ Beautiful ☐ Good ☑ Decent ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS Cute character models, doodles and weapon design + a cozy environment :) ---{ Gameplay }--- ☐ Very good ☐ Good ☑ Decent ☐ Mehh ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't Instead of fighting demons and angels like in other games of this genre, this time we are chonky dinos fighting against cute spoders (yes, they are called spoders), snails and many more to gather gold, better equipment and to evolve (literally) our skills. You can use many different weapons which have various modifiers and elements like poison, fire, light, etc. to whack enemies on the head. However, the most fun comes from spamming your skills. Not only because most skills do damage from range and are therefore a safer way of fighting, the more you use your dinos skills the more skills you can learn. As an example: at first you start by hitting enemies with a wooden sword either slash or stab them to death and *PUFF* a small window opens saying your little chonky dino realized throwing a small rock could al…

A very interesting take on an ARPG. Reminds me a lot of some of my favorite PS1 classics (Spyro the Dragon, Kingsley's adventure). Since the title is still in Early Access, there is obviously still much work to be done by the developers, which one has to take into consideration when reviewing the game. Pros: 1) Unique characters, enemies and art style. This really conveys how much passion and creativity went into making this game. 2) Rewarding combat system that surprises the player with highly varied skill unlocks, keeping combat fresh. 3) Well-made inventory system, which is both easy to understand and use. 4) Although I haven´t had the chance to try it out yet, the local co-op mode sounds very intriguing to me, since good local co-op games are sadly pretty rare. Cons: 1) This being an early access title, there are still some graphical bugs (which the developers already acknowledged to be fixed soon). However, I did not encounter any game breaking bugs (yet), which is very promising for such an early release of the game. 2) There is a noticeable lack of sound FX, which will hopefully be resolved by the time this leaves early access. Recommendations: 1) The game needs a featur…

maybe in time with some QOL changes this game would be enjoyable but as it is now it isn't worth a penny

This game is the freaking cutest I have seen in a long time. Of course it still needs some polishing, but which game doesn't and I am still missing a bit of story and where to spend my thousand coins, but I see the potential. I could and would play the cute Chonky for hours, hopefully soon with the fire brother. Can't wait on how this will develop.

Oh, Chonky! In some alternate universe, it's a slick ARPG like Diablo 3, packed with witty dialogue and slick mechanics. But not here! In this timeline, Chonky's just a tech demo that never took off. Such a shame. All those memes, fan art, pillows, mugs, and... dubious fan fiction, gone to waste!

Nice game with cute characters and good gameplay.
