Early Access Review
This game, although being kinda short, was completely enjoyable. With people who are not as experienced with monster taming games, this game could easily take a decent amount of time to completely finish one run of the story mode. However, even those who are experienced with monster taming games can get a few more hours out of it with their "New game+" mode, which is unlocked immediately after the final boss, and allows for the player to replay the story mode again, however, still using the team and items you completed the game with, until your run is over, and the second mode you can access when selecting which gamemode you wish to play.

The Good Parts:

The gameplay is definitely fresh in terms of a monster-taming experience for players seeking a new challenge in the monster-taming genre, that of which incorporating not only being a roguelite, but also in the fact that the player chooses the path that they will experience next. Allowing for players who want to constantly encounter more Mython, or play extra extra safe and visit shops, mystery events, etc.

With as much Mython are currently available, and sometimes not having a full opportunity to completely evolve a Mython, and even accidentally losing a Mython, there are an almost endless number of possible team compositions the player can have to complete their story with. So there is a lot of replay value, just within the sheer number of Mython and the limit capacity.

The Bad Parts:

[The UI is a tad clunky, as I kept having issues when trying to use capsules, or going back in the selection screen where I would keep accidentally pressing to use another capsule.

I am also unsure in this current state on how to use The "Lucky Skill Scrolls", gotten as an option at the place you can choose to evolve, I received three in my first playthrough, and never figured out how to use them.]

-- The developer cleared all these up in their response, thank you for your time!! :^)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Even though I have finished the main story, I still have not seen all the Mython available and I am always inclined to see the different random events and to build different teams using different Mython. This game is so worth the 10 dollars, and I am looking forward to the progression of this game in its Early Access and can't wait to see what else it brings!

Thank you for your review and feedback!

I wanted to clear something up about those items that you mention act as TMs. Those are one time use items, they are not meant to teach a Mython a skill. They may be used in battle from the backpack to utilize the particular skill associated with it as a one time use.

Again thank you for the feedback, it will help me to improve various aspects. A patch was just implemented with some quality of life features regarding UI so if you have the time please let me know what you think. Otherwise thank you for taking the time to play.
