Very pokemon like, simplistic in nature. The story isn't complex enough for me to engage in a lot but it is effective and serviceable. The battles are the highlight with the monsters being captured and you have to do a lot of quests here and there. It does get a bit draggy and slow for my liking but that's just me. The grinding for me is a bit of a chore. Overall, its not a bad entry. I enjoyed it enough. But I wouldn't say I love it either.
