unlabelledView post →With the latest update, Adore is in the best state it's ever been, and keeps me coming back to play in a way the original gameplay loop, while innovative, just didn't manage to accomplish. To those out of the loop: before the Welcome Home update, the play loop of Adore was structured more traditionally 'roguelike' in terms of run progression, with a groundbreaking summoner/moba-like combat system, but relatively light on the 'creature collecting' part of the game, simply because that'…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am not a fan of rogue like games at all. The only reason I picked this up was because the idea of a creature summoning game that wasn't turn based was interesting to me and I am so glad that I did. The game balances out the rogue like elements and the persistent elements really well. There are persistent unlocks, such as buffs and debuffs on creatures and temporary stats, such as synergies. Synergies make your 'team' function differently each run. This makes it so, yes there are very…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I thought it had some fun ideas but it wastes way too much time on trivial tasks without rewarding the work. The grind This game does not respect your time at all. Every little thing requires multiple runs almost all of it feels like padding: Food that heals 1 creature OR you (~1 / run). All food expires. ATTEMPT to capture a creature(random high quality)(3-4 runs, not including food). It's fairly easy to fail. ATTEMPT to capture a specific creature(3x of the above with good RNG). If you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is not the game it used to be. It started great but now it is a grind fest. I bought it back in 2021 and I enjoyed it and saw hope. However, as they changed it they have ruined what made it fun. You are better off grabbing a single multi-attacker giving it all your resources and using one ability. When you try to play the game the way you are intended you get punished. It doesn't mesh well with everything going on, having more creatures puts you at risk of getting hurt. I am just…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is more mixed for me. I've 100% the game and built all the creature to satisfaction however bugs and lack of quality of life makes this game hard to recommend with certainty. I love the art style and unique game play of summoning creature. Its more of a top down dungeon crawler but the gimmick is your creature is stand in for you ability. Creature have their own health and you need to manager theirs and yours. Later you can customize creature ability with synergy and these can be…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I came back a second time to edit my review after almost a year of not playing. TLDR: This is a genre-defining title, and the devs are CLEARLY on to something. *insert sound of audience clapping, whooping, and throwing roses* Wow you guys have done something incredible with the soundtrack. The music is a sincere joy to experience, in fact when I came back it was the FIRST thing I noticed/remembered. I thought to myself "I cannot believe how good this music feels to listen to, like calm in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Doesn't feel like a taming game at all if you think your going to tame companions and go hunting with them you're going to be disappointed more like you catch a monster and when you active it after aiming it it uses its skill then vanishes. Pretty much any game with skill shot type fighting only your skills are bound by your monster not being dead so you can summon that monster(skill). Think like casting fireball but you have to summon a frog that you captured to cast it for you and then it…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You are not taming and fighting with creatures on your team.....all the monsters are simple "spells/skills" that you cast and then the creature has a cooldown. But even with this mechanic, the rest of the game is just so boring. Fighting doesnt feel right, maps all feel the same. Unlocks and new creatures dont feel rewarding......yeah I wont put more time into it, there are way better roguelikes to play.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its a nice battle-system, nice graphics and the idea could be built on but my goodness the controls are dreadful. There is something called "internal and external consistency" in human computer interaction development (its literally one of the 10 golden rules) and it seems like the devs dont give a single f. Want to scroll to the right? Hit the up axis! Want to scroll left? Hit the down axis! I mean, I understand that there are differences in control-setup culture (xbox, playstation, etc.)…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Support for this game seems dead. Last update was December 2023.... Was hoping for more tweaks on the game. Concept wise, I was drawn in and bought it. Once I got to playing it though, it got repetitive fast. Not much going on. Some other comments mention it was initially a rougelite which makes a lot of sense on why it feels repetitive. Just don't feel like they did enough to go full RPG because the game would likely be better as a roguelite. Having something fast paced and increasingly…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not what I expected and the game itself is also mediocre Expectations I don't know exactly which reports or which trailers deceived me, but I expected a monster catching game, in which you assemble a group of animal minions and try to keep them alive in fights. You would care for them, train them and level them up. Basically being a bestiamancer. I also expected hordes of enemys to slay with my pet friends and levels to explore. The reality Monsters The monsters don't stay. You…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've really been trying to get into this game, because I really like the premise and the ideas behind the combat. My gripe is that once you get about 4-5 hours in it becomes a grind. It feels like there are different game mechanics that don't really mesh well. It feels like it took the ideas of the rogue lite elements from its previous ideration and made it into a more classic rpg where you complete quests and level up. However the grindy nature of a roguelite where the enjoyment comes from…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →can't rebind movement keys
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I remember enjoying this game back in early access, but it seems like there was a major shift in design and this isn't a roguelike anymore. That's honestly disappointing, as I supported a roguelike and ended up getting a different product in the end. The change in design made the game far worse imo. Before, this was a fun roguelike where you go through small levels, battling bosses. It actually posed a challenge. Now that I tried the full release, I've been playing 45 mins of fetch quests, and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cons:-I feel the game is lacking in its mechanics. the movement is clunky and the controls can feel clunky and awkward at times. -The Game can sometimes feel repetitive visually, it needs a little more color but that is just my opinion.-Level design needs a rethink-The dragon god thing needs voice linesPros:-Amazing art style-The creature design for each monster is just top tier-The creatures all seem engaging and friendly as allies but also intimidating and brutal when enemies-It is worth the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played a bit back in like February, and it wasn't my favorite. I've recently picked it back up and the game is so beautiful! I definitely suggest this game now; it is more streamlined and intuitive, and also challenging. Support these devs! 2022/2023 Edit I keep coming back and they keep making great changes! A solid game to have in the library
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The concept of mixing a creature collecting ARPG with the roguelike/lite formula holds so much potential, but unfortunately this game squanders it. It's not all bad - the creature designs are solid, the art style is cute, and the combat is ok, even if I do wish I could do more with my main character besides dodge while I micro my summoned guys. You can also ride some of the creatures around! For some people, that might be enough to enjoy this game. For me though it's not enough, and the game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →INTRO TO EA REVIEW Adore is an easy recommend for it's innovative system that utilizes your summoned creatures as abilities/skills. I like to say it's the real time version of Pokemon lol. For the amount of content currently in early access it's well worth the price. CREATURE GATHERING It is nice that there's no limits. Though when it comes to gathering all 39 creatures it can be a little painstaking trying to decide which creatures should be released if you don't want to grind for more…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good and unique game and very passionate developers. Go for it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The concept is what originally drew me in. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this game, on principal level it's pretty cool, the concept is quite fresh for monster collector games. However, when it comes gameplay, the combat being the core mechanic is where this game falls apart for me. Combat is too floaty and often times lacks feedback and telegraphing and often it is what makes the combat unfun. Arenas don't fit certain combat scenarios, and given that there is no tactical or strategical…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dull and repetetive.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very nice game with rewarding progression system. Co-op and PvP would really put it over the edge, although I know those features are likely hard to implement :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The first 4 creatures I collected were: -A badger that dashes forward and scratches -A cat that dashes forward and slashes -A deer that dashes forward and headbutts -A boar that dashes forward and stabs. If you love animals dashing forward and do things, then this is an absolute banger. I quickly got bored and just ran around dodging while spamming the 4 summon buttons indiscriminately, and won pretty easily.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Action RPG with roguelike elements and innovative gameplay! Capture creatures and use them instead of magic and weapons. Help Lukha resurrect the ancient god Draknar! Gameplay: https://youtu.be/b95BGBafiX8 The game consists of missions in generated locations, in which you need to kill all the creatures, collect loot and return to the village. Lukha has an inventory, equipment, map, quest log and 4 creature slots. Lukha cannot fight, but can capture and then summon various creatures to attack…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really didn't think I was gonna like it too much based on the demo alone. Once I started playing though things made more sense and the game became a bit easier. Now I just find it fun. I got all my achievements so I'll be moving on to another game but this one is a great time dump! The rest of the game is basically a more fun version of the demo, not that that's a bad thing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfortunately, the game has moved away from the challenging roguelite style of gameplay with their really unique twist of creature capture, to an ezpz casual creature collecting adventure game. This was a huge disappointment for me to find, as the replayability or challenge appears to have gone. It's still a decent game for what they've gone for, but there's no reason for me not to just play Pokemon or Digimon instead. The environments are too monotonous to appeal to the type of game they're…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →awesome little game so far, i've played 5 hours and have currently unlocked everything, but still have a long way to go in training up all of my favourite creatures definitely worth the price, pick this up
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I saw a very lively review about this game on YouTube so I decided to give it a shot; I was disappointed to see that the textures are extremely low quality, the controls are rigid and unresponsive, and sometimes don't work at all. The art style and music are alright, but that might be the only saving grace of this game. To top it off, I had a game-breaking issue where I couldn't capture creatures at all -- the entire point of the game. Because of this, I couldn't move past the first level to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →#AskWxm so many fantastic quotes from @askwxm.bsky.social again, not least whatever that noise was he made around 70 minutes. Fantastic game. Adore watching these Sunday matches. We go again! If anyone knows, please share links to the Jamaica game.
unlabelledView post →Great monster taming game with bunch of clever mechanics and challenges! Even after main story you still have a bunch of creatures to catch, get all shiny variants and max your adorer(you character) & your monsters!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am editing this as I play. absolutely love this game. (some spoilers) Its challenging for sure, this is kinda like Diabloish in a way. The monsters are used like skills where you send out your monsters to attack and then quickly recall them before they take damage. Just a pointer, get them before they get you. If a monster is attacking do not let your monsters take damage, unless you have a healing monster to back up the damage you are taking but healing is a bit far between as healing items…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Adore has good bones but it does need work. The parts of the Adore that I enjoy: The monster design is good, I wouldn't say its completely unique but compared to some of the other monster collecting games I have seen they are enjoyable. The combat system is entirely unique to the genera, you "control" your monster, while also being able to control the main character, both of which have their own health bars and can get hit by the same attack/monster. Your stamina bar is the main recourse to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ADORE is a game with a high degree of specialized play. You, the Adorer, have been chosen to restore the ancient order of Draknar. To accomplish this, you must venture out into different places where you encounter wild and fantastic creatures. Some of them, you must put to rest, others, you will recruit to aid you. That, is where the game becomes special. Each creature you collect has a different ability, type, and stats. This allows the player to customize their team. You can build a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played this game in 2020 and just reinstalled today. OMG the game is so much fun right now, you can see the creatures that you have, the controls are so much better! CONGRATS for this game. I'll play more and more <3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This early access title is easy to love. Somehow the idea of catching monsters to attack other monsters has been stuck in a JRPG turn based style. Adore breaks that mold with finesse and it feels incredible. This isometric roguelite has you unleashing a whirlwind of creatures casting spells while you dodge roll and face off against behemoths all in hectic real time. It has the right amount of complexity in place and I can’t wait to pick it up again. No need to bury the lede here. Have you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In the mood for something nostalgic. I never played through the remake, but I played the original a ton. Adore this game to bits. #YuyunjiPlays #SuperMarioRPG
unlabelledView post →If you don't want to read my entire review, just trust me and know that THIS GAME SUCKS! It's so bad that I will flat out say you shouldn't even download it if they make it a free game. I went into this game expecting a $20 game. I did not get that experience whatsoever. YOU WILL NOT ADORE THIS GAME! I got bored after I played the first area and already saw a repetition in the map, but you open up new areas and progressively unlock more stuff easily, so I figured I should give it a full try,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →refreshing take on monster combat, not just some turn based nonsense. you can make multiple functioning builds and you honestly NEED to for whenever your monsters become cursed. honestly would love to see a second one or some DLC , this game is incredible so far.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very unique gameplay, beautiful graphics, there is a lot of love put into this game. Do yourself a favor and try it out! Proud to see a company from Mato Grosso do Sul producing such a high-quality product
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The first impressions are good, but there are multiple spelling mistakes. Before you even leave the tutorial village for the first time there are at least 3 typos in the main dialogue, and once you read up on the creatures you can spot more mistakes there as well. The game play is simple but it works. Enemies walk towards you in a straight line and you dodge to avoid being hit by their attacks. You summon creatures you've captured to lower their health or knock them out. There are also combos…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Adore's learning curve feels daunting at first, but once you grasp the core mechanics of the game it will all open up to you. This initial difficulty is in large party due to the novelty of the gameplay itself. The combat and it's mechanical loops were something I had never experienced before. And that was a very welcome experience! It is refreshing to play something that feels 100% unique. That is a feeling I rarely have in video games anymore.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love the creature-collecting idea for a roguelite but the creatures are really just spells with a creature animation. I knew that when I bought it, but I expected to like it more than I did. This game is fine if you like action roguelites but it's not for me. 6/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, took me 20h to finish the main story line. Although it needs a bit quality of life for the long run, for example. Release captured creatures on spot or without equipping it. No limit on orbs, and so on.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really enjoying this experience so far. It has an interesting gameplay mechanic, focusing on positioning and sysnergies between creatures, instead of the most commom fast paced ARPGs. Interesting and well executed twist to the genre.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Now that's not how I remember Pokemon... It's simple and fun, enough to keep one entertained for some time. Nice graphics and I like the tunes a lot!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very cool idea. Love it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its like a dark souls path of exile minion game. pretty rough to start out, cause there are a lot complex mechanix working in tandem. pretty grind heavy but thta is why iam still here after 30h :) campaign was ok. nothing special. but the minion mechanics are super unique. one of a kind. must try if you like minion builds in other games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Most fun indie so far ~ addicting ~~ Thumbs UP
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When I first heard of this game, I was skeptical and figured I'd wait for it to finish even though it seemed right up my ally... then I started noticing how much the devs respond, listen, and care about their game. I decided to buy it right away... and I'm not disappointed after I submitted a bug report and witnessed the responsiveness of devs (I spoke with Thiago) and how friendly they are. It's stuff like that that makes me feel good about buying an EA game, and it gives me hope for other…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Surprisingly great game from a small developer! One of my favorite games of 2020! Great and catchy soundtrack, smooth controls, great Bluetooth controller integration, fun mechanics! Only complaint is... PVP! 9.8/10!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Still very short but wow this is fun, excellent combination of ARPG elements and monster taming! It's so much fun and skill based: targeted Area of Effects, projectile attacks, melee attacks, aiming shots. Not to mention pulling your monsters in and out of danger all while keeping yourself safe. Definitely worth a try if you're into any of these elements.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't like the control scheme. It's uncomfortable. Not ergonomic at all. The difficulty comes from a bad control scheme rather that tough enemies.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is great, very unique approach to monster collecting and summoning, with real time combat for once. Taking care of summoning the right creatures and the sinergies between them is plenty fun. But it's not without flaws, it can be repetitive and horribly grindy, the constant ingredient and material farming is annoying at best, and the creature skills are used automatically when you summon them, so you either reserve some or stop caring and just summon them as normal, which I did. I wish the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The only true real life simulator. Gain animal friends by giving them a snacc, your undying protection as their snacc source is also included.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is criminal how underrated this game is. I hate roguelikes, it's been years of the indie industry force feeding them to us. Adore though? Kinda hits different. I don't know I like the summoning playstyle. The teleporting around is SO NICE and combined with the items being on the map the whole time, there no time wasted back tracking. Just quick, in and out, good time. Seems pretty easy but, I'm an hour in so it might pick up a bit. Devs have consistently updated it for years too, I hear…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →GREAT GAME cant wait to see the future updates!!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love this little gem of a game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i love summoning pets and followers in every game this game focus on the summoning part where you tame monsters and use the to do attacks in a good balance and fun way to every summoner there check this game out and pray the devs do so good they will make more awesome summoning games
