![]() The good news is that none of the trophies are missable, and the whole game can be played on Easy without consequences. The overworld theme was nice, but as a whole, the soundtrack felt below average.įinally, the trophy list is composed of 25 bronze trophies, 2 silver trophies, and 6 gold trophies to unlock before you get a new Platinum trophy. The soundtrack is composed of tracks built at a chiptune level but felt a bit uninspired, and a few of them were even annoying. I’ve played Ratchet and Clank in full 3D at 60 frames per second, so it was definitely interesting to see a retro-looking game like this one not being fluid enough, which was probably done on purpose. When you’re walking on the overworld map, scrolling is slightly choppy, just enough to be noticed. There are only a few colors, and the resolution is low.

This also works in reverse so you can have a monster in your team weak to the enemy attack. If it’s impressed by you, it will join your team and become a playable monster!Įach monster has one of the five elemental types, so you’ll have to use an attack that counters it to do maximum damage. ![]() Once an enemy has its health decreased enough, you can try taming it by offering an item. You can have up to five monsters in your team, and it is recommended to have one of each element to maximize your attack power.
