The freedom in it allows both creating a powerful monster to your strategy while giving it a unique look of your choice. It's best known for its unique breeding system, known as crossbreeding, where breeding two different monsters will create a new hybrid monster that inherits traits from the parents. In terms of actual comparison, while the look and basic combat will feel very similar to Pokemon, the world building, tone, and general gimmick makes it stand out on its own. It's fairly common for people to mistake other Monster Taming games as "Pokemon Clones" simply because Pokemon has been the most well known and most influential contributor to the genre. Dragon Quest V and Shin Megami Tensei are the first to use these concepts of having the monsters you encounter becoming recruited and fighting alongside the player, which was the driving inspiration for Pokemon and a handful of other Monster Taming games that released around the same period of time as Pokemon did, which aside from Digimon, most were severely outmatched by the booming popularity Pokemon got. In terms of the game, it's more relevant to call it a Monster Taming game, as that should be the coined term for games in which you collect and raise the monsters you encounter. With a story centered around stopping the return of tyranny to Crown Island, this is not your everyday happy-go-lucky monster game.Originally posted by Cookiez :Is Monster Crown a clone of Pokemon? Just as Radiowavehero said if you're referring to the TCG that's up in the air, as TCG's are fairly common and it's unknown if how it's styled will completely mimic how the Pokemon TCG works. Set in Crown Island, the game promises a “dark, cruel story” that serves as the backdrop to your monster collecting shenanigans. Unlike some other monster collecting games, Monster Crown features a plot-heavy story filled with politics and characters. The design of the monster is also serviceable enough: many of these monsters wouldn’t feel too out of place in a mainline Pokémon game.

While the overworld sprites are nothing to write home about, the monsters and characters’ sprites are well-rendered and filled with charm. Borrowing more than a little inspiration from another “pocket monster” franchise, the world of Monster Crown feels alive and adequately developed. Monster Crown features a visual style reminiscent of the classic, 16-bit era RPGs. If you’re looking for a game that feels like classic Pokémon, but also one that adds a little bit of Digimon breeding mechanics into the mix, then this might be the game you were looking for. This mechanic keeps the experience change and ever-changing, giving the game a nice multiplayer element. Using “genes,” players can create different creatures depending on what other players are creating.

That all sounds fine by itself, but here’s where things get interesting: you can cross-breed monsters with players all over the world. The cross-breeding mechanics present in the game are unique to the genre think about Persona fusion in Persona 5. While some preferred Bandai’s digital monsters over Pikachu and its pals, the truth is that Pokémon games (particularly games like Pokémon Red) always dominated the game charts. Older gamers will surely be familiar with the eternal feud of Digimon vs.
