Coromon is a modern take on the classic monster-taming genre. Tame Coromon and explore a vast world filled with thrilling turn-based battles, brain-twisting puzzles, and a mysterious threat to the world awaiting defeat. Nobody said being a Battle Researcher was easy!
Players can tame and collect over 100 unique creatures, each with distinct designs, elemental types, abilities, and stats. A key mechanic is the Potency system, which determines a creature's rarity and strength. Standard creatures have a Potency of 1-16, Potent creatures have a Potency of 17-20, and Perfect creatures have the maximum Potency of 21. The higher a creature's Potency, the better its base stats and the faster it gains additional stat boosts as it levels up. This creates a compelling risk/reward dynamic when encountering and attempting to capture rare Potent and Perfect creatures. Players can also customize the appearance of their creatures by changing their color palette, allowing for a unique team.
Battles take place in a traditional turn-based format, where players must strategically manage their creatures' limited Stamina Points to effectively use a variety of offensive, defensive, and status-inflicting abilities. The simplified type matchup system still provides meaningful strategic depth, requiring careful team building and move selection to overcome tough enemy creatures and boss encounters. Difficulty can be further customized through robust settings, allowing players to tailor the challenge.
As players progress, they'll level up their creatures, unlock new areas, and acquire resources to strengthen their team. The Potential XP system grants additional stat boosts as creatures reach higher Potency levels. Players can freely re-distribute stat points, change creature moves, and even devolve them to access different evolutionary paths. Global gameplay settings can also be adjusted, such as toggling auto-healing, changing enemy encounter rates, and enabling Nuzlocke-style challenge runs.
The world is filled with secrets to uncover, optional side quests to complete, and a variety of distinct biomes and locations to explore. Helpful tools, like a scanner that highlights nearby hidden items, encourage thorough exploration. Each new area introduces new creatures to discover and puzzles to solve, keeping the gameplay loop engaging throughout the adventure.
