About Familiars.io
what is this game?
it's a compact monster-catching fest in an online multiplayer world. It also has some optional hard stuff for people who like a challenge.
what's it like to play?
- 1 battle = 1 levelup, and the max level is 15. I don't want to waste your time with rpg grinding
- with only 20 Familiars in the game, you can max-out and understand all the familiars in the game within a few hours
- ... and then you're ready for the hard stuff
- find hidden portals to other dimensions, where you must manage your familiars' HP and your potion supply in a slew of battles against fairly smart CPU opponents
- or, if you want, fight other players you meet in the world to test your mettle
what else is there to like?
- it's extremely easy to pick up, play a bit, and put down
- the only way to communicate with other players is by pressing the "howdy" button repeatedly, or running around in circles
- I think the soundtrack is pretty nice
- it's free btw
it's free?
Yeah this is just a hobby project made by one person. I don't need to make this my job, I just like it when people play my game lol!

Needless to say it was a huge flop. So, "Familiars.io" is a dead PvP game. Why did it fail? It's video game autopsy time! [i]Almost every PvP exclusive game on Steam fails.[/i] Only a tiny proportion of them "go viral". This game failed for many of the same reasons those others fail. The chief of which is the developer thinking that their game will "go viral" without actually creating any reason for it do so. Competition amongst PvP centric games is extreme, and there's only a finite player base to appeal to. This game failed to reach any kind of critical mass and died as a result. Let's go into some of the reasons this particular game failed to appeal to gamers, despite the zero up front cost. First and foremost, there's no meaningful single player content. The developer gambled that other players would be an…1 found this helpful
i didnt really get it but it was fine
Great Game!
knockoff Pokemon.
This is in my opinion The best game on steam. It has Pokemon like gameplay and creatures and has a very unique art style.
Game window would randomly close sometimes for no reason so i can't recommend. Also 0 players online according to steam charts so dead game.
