So I recently posted about Monster Kingdom, and that game is still cool. But I just found another one that's even better.
Haypi Monster is even more advanced than the pokemon games, and it's free for iOS, android and windows8 mobile phones. If any of you are familiar with the pokemon games, it's along the same lines. You battle monsters, and capture them in seal cards. You can evolve, breed, and even synthesize monsters, which is basically fusing two monsters together to make a new one using a synthesis scroll. Monsters can be equipped with items, and unlike the pokemon games, many of the items give permanent bonuses instead of just being one-time-use automatic healing items or boosters. Monsters level up and earn new abilities, and there's also skill books you can use to teach them other techniques, like the TM's in pokemon. Monsters can have mystery talents, which are passive bonuses that do various things to help you in battle, like healing your monster under certain weather conditions, or boosting their skill effectiveness if the enemy has an elemental advantage. Like in Pokemon, elements can be strong against others, for example, water does severe damage to fire types. There are also status effects and boosting skills that make battling even more strategic. There's a lot to do in terms of activities. The main storyline involves you advancing through different scenes, each with a certain amount of levels. You advance through each level to save the scene, and eventually the world, from evil monsters. There are different modes, like normal mode, team mode, which lets you co-op scenes with other players to fight powerful boss monsters for prizes, and veteran mode, which I'm not sure about. Levels consist of a board-game like interface, where you roll a 6-sided die and advance a number of spaces. You can get treasure, fight battles and other things. You finish the level when you beat the boss monster at the end. You can train your monster in training nests, which give them a substancial experience boost at the cost of money or coins, the game's donation currency, but then require a cooldown before they can be used again. You can compete in tournaments or regular PVP to test your skills against other players at no penalty for losing, in fact I think you even get XP if you lose. There are tons of tasks to do, which are like achievements or trophies with good in-game rewards. There are trainer levels you can earn, which unlock new features of the game. And that's just some of what you can do. I recommend checking out my entry o AppleVis for some accessibility comments, the game is a little tricky to use, but unlike Monster Kingdom there isn't really anywhere that needs VoiceOver turned off. One part of the tutorial and the battle system in particular are somewhat difficult, but I describe how to manage them on AppleVis. If you decide to play, you can add Talerous as a friend if you want, it's beneficial to both players. I hope you all enjoy, I'm having a lot of fun with the game so far. --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [email protected].
