Monster Crown
SCORE: 64
I am very thankful I had the money to purchase Monster Crown on the
Nintendo Switch. All I knew about Monster Crown is it looked like a
Pokemon kind of video game. I was not expecting the graphics on console
to look like it belonged on a Gameboy Color. Maybe Monster Crown is as
visually advanced as the Gameboy Advance. Either way the graphics in
Monster Crown were a real shock. In fact I instantly cringed at the
graphics and could not get over it very quickly.
When I started live streaming Monster Crown I had no clue how long I
would play it. I decided to play it by ear. The graphics were something
I was eventually able to swallow on my quest to go see the king. There
were two other things in Monster Crown that bothered me deeply. The bad
language was shocking and not needed. The bad lady in Monster Crown is
very messed up and hateful. She reminds me of some people I knew on the
left coast.
The other aspect of Monster Crown that irritated me is the grinding. We
can train our monsters up to a certain level before we need to fight a
town’s champion. On the second town’s champion we can lose a monster if
we lose. So I played it safe and decided to grind. To be honest the
grinding is very dull and boring in Monster Crown. We can hold eight of
the monsters on us at a time. There are different kinds that are strong
or weak against other kinds.
The monsters in Monster Crown randomly generate in the wild. We can see
them so we can go up to them if we want to trample them or initiate a
battle. We can also let our monster sit and feed him some fruit to
restore a minimal amount of health. There are certain monsters in town
we can also heal our monsters with. There are campsites that are another
way to heal. Logs can be purchased and used in the wild to heal our
monsters as well. There are plenty of ways to heal the monsters within
Monster Crown.
I like how Monster Crown lets us walk or run around. The storyline was a
little surprising to me at first. I don’t know why anyone would make a
more adult Pokemon game where it looks like a GBC video game. Kids would
be more interested in Monster Crown, but the bad language, hate, bad
attitudes, and more ruin it for the younger members of the family. This
seems like a bad creation decision to me. I do not want to play more of
Monster Crown because of the bad content.
