I hate to give this a bad review but this has game breaking bugs and is clunky to play. First, the bug. When I get to the farm and exit out of the tutorial, I cannot move. Nothing shows up on screen anymore. I just see my character without any UI. I cannot get past that point at all. I've tried several times. Second, the controls. They're bad. I've tried both the movement keys and the joystick. The movement keys are awful, so hard to use and keep going in conflicting directions. The joystick is okay but major problem is you can't adjust it's position and it's not comfortable on an ipad. Now the interface shows you a spot where you should be able to adjust it's position but the controls ALWAYS revert back to original position. It doesn't ever save the new position. Also that screen is clunky. Let me change controls by dragging. Stardew Valley is excellent on controls. Plus, why is adjusting the controls on a separate tab from changing the controls? It's just bad design. If the game breaking bug is fixed and controls are actually made adjustable I might play this game. I still hate how clunky and poorly designed the menus are but I'd give it a chance.

I have really enjoyed the game. I enjoy the grind aspect of a farming game. The grind for leveling up mons is too much though. Currently there is no way for me to continue using my starter. I have had to just capture new mons in every area in order to progress through the story. The mons gain the same exp is they beat a level 1 or level 60 opponent. That aspect needs to be corrected. I enjoy the grind but it is impossible to even grind up a starter at a certain point. Thanks for making the game though. Overall I am really enjoying it

Game is in EA, but dev is on the ball in fixing bugs. The game itself can be played either with focus on farming like Stardew or training like Pokemon. I personally do a bit of both. There are shinies and monster breeding in-game if that draws interest. The monsters have skill trees with techniques that level up, and there are an assortment of these techs. The player chara themselves also levels up like Stardew with various benefits. There are characters you can build friendship with by gifting like Stardew and there are benefits to befriending a town or city’s worth of npcs (just don’t let that one lady get near Oliver..). The graphics and dialogue is cute and reminiscent of older rpgs. Music absolutely slaps. There is way more benefit to choosing the water starter than others early on but this may be balanced.
