Disc Creatures

Allow me to preface this: I DON'T hate Disc Creatures, I love it for what it is and what it offered but I can't necessarily say that I like some of the aspects the game itself has. The 3v3 team aspect of the battling was done really well but unfortunately, things drag to a crawl once you realize that all the creatures get defaulted to LVL 1 upon obtaining them. In-universe, I understand why it's like that but it's just not my jam, especially when the lvl-boosting options themselves aren't that feasible in terms of time-investment. I just finished the campaign mode for defeating Phangon and while I cherish the dedication and time put into creating Disc Creatures, I personally just can't find that enough to warrant actively recommending it to anyone. Again, it was an OK experience for me but it was ultimately the tiring level grinding that ultimately killed it a bit for me. Still enjoyable to an extent, tho.

Disc Creatures is an old school creature collector rpg, like Game Boy Color old style which I super enjoyed. Very fun, 6 episode run for the main story and an actual post-game afterwards. Love the art design, I F***ing love 8bit pixel art, the creature all look good and very charming. The story is abit disjointed though, and kind of dark. I do like there is a way to make griding easier in this game. It isn't that difficult unless you want to just vibe with a one element team. If you miss Game Boy Era of pokemon, I believe you'll like this. ALSO press ALT + ENTER to enter fullscreen.

Fun and quite long Pokemon-like (I have not beaten it yet). Combat is fun and zippy, and there is enough difference in gameplay to keep it from feeling like clone. It nails the Gameboy Color aesthetic well and the world is quite fun. My biggest complaints would be that grinding up multiple teams is pretty time consuming, making it too easy to stick to one team. Additionally, I would love more creature lore. The "Pokedex" analog gives strategic analysis of Creatures,which is welcome, but no lore/in-universe description.

Loving this game. I have just finished chapter 4. It is a must play for fans of the Pokemon series that are bored with the same formula. I am enjoying playing through it and am looking forward to the remake to release. BTW, been playing on the Steamdeck (non-OLED version) and despite the warning when it installs, it has been working perfectly for me.

Hell yeah

Loved the Original Pokemon games on Gameboy and Gameboy Color. This definitely invokes a similar feeling as those did. But it has its own twists, quirks, and dark undertones. Really loved my time with this game but I unfortunately lost my save on my old pc once I had upgraded to a better build but I've read there's a way to transfer the save file somehow. Just be aware that (obiously) there are no cloud saves. That's my only gripe.. I love the story, gameplay, and creature designs. If you also enjoyed the original Pokemon games then I think this is definitely up your alley. Really looking forward to Disc Creatures World!
