60 of 104 · most liked firstTLDR: I was eager to enjoy this game, but repeated and frustrating design elements have discouraged me from wanting to continue. [6/10] The good: - Animon look great. Fantastic designs for the vast majority. Was excited to collect all of them. - The "shinies" are an amazing take on what they usually are in games. Tweaking the forms on top of the color palette is an excellent choice. - The grind isn't terrible. The mechanics in place to mitigate it are pretty fair alongside of the animon…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the first time I will give a straight downvote to a game of creature collection genre. The game has its potential. Although the turn cycle is not suitable for this kind of game, this can partially be acceptable. The Animons seem to have their unique moveset and ability, which can distinguish the game from others on the store. However, it is heavily drawn back by a very clunky control and obvious bugs - like the game never went through a proper playtest before release: - Tons of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I waffled on whether I wanted to leave this review. I know that negative reviews can really impact indie games and I don't want to adversely impact Beehive Studios. I did honestly try to give this game a shot and I feel like my play time reflects that fact. But, ultimately, if pressed to answer "would I recommend this game," I would have to say no. LumenTale: Memories of Trey is not a bad game. I certainly could not play over 50 hours of a game that was fundamentally broken or imbalanced. In…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have never left a review on a game before. That is how strongly I feel about this game. Since I would not recommend this game I will start with the positives. 1. I think the creature designs are extremely creative. Some of the creatures have a LOT going on with their designs, but some are extremely simple. It's a good mix of overall well designed monsters. 2. The story (FOR THE MOST PART) is actually fairly interesting and relatively easy to follow. Especially towards the end things get…

unlabelledView post →Let me start by saying I really wanted to like this game, but after finishing the prologue/demo, I came away more frustrated than excited. The biggest issue, and one that affects almost every aspect of the game, is communication. The game does a good job explaining some mechanics through natural tutorials, then completely fails to explain other systems that are arguably more important. For example, early on you're encouraged to choose a starter Animon. Instead of presenting them by elemental…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Edit:They fixed the bug that was halting progress. I still can't recommend the game so I'm leaving it negative for now, but this might change as I play more Things stopping me for recommending: - 1 save file - no way of knowing information about the animons to make an informed decision to capture both in battle(even after scan, it doesn't show the traits and IVs) or before battle(no way of knowing if that battle has any animon with a hidden type) -already find another bug although minor, after…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I sincerely enjoy this game and its design, but I do not recommend it due to the substantial amount of bugs. After 110 hours and 93 out of 100 achievements, I've experienced equal amounts of joy and frustration. This game launched as a full release, but it clearly had insufficient testing. Two small hotfixes have been implemented, but both of them generated as many new bugs as they resolved. Puzzles exist to be solved in order to gain access to areas, but the puzzle mechanisms won't spawn.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I tried really really hard to love this game, and its an okay game, I don't hate it, but I absolutely do NOT love it. Lumentale has been on my radar for years now as I was a big fan of the game Xenoverse: Per Aspera Ad Astra produced by the same developers, and the demo for the game that released approximately ~3 years ago now made this game one of my most anticipated Monster Catching RPGs ever. Overall, I liked the dev's previous work, I really liked the demo, so where do my issues with…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like this game but there are so many present issues that I can't with good conscience promote it, especially with the issues that could have been solved by more playtesting. Let me start with what I liked: The 2.5D art looks great, sure there are visual bugs sometimes that kinda ruin the feel but overall, it's a very visually appealing game. Music is alright, nothing too special IMO but not bad by any means. I didn't really find myself jamming out to any of the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great Game, Great Monster Collector. I really hope they add DLC content for new areas and Animon to expand the world. Ignore the negatives about bugs and infinite loading in area 1 etc. Dev's hotfixed it within 24hrs of release already.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I very rarely leave reviews. I’m a married dad with two young kids who only really gets to game on my Steam Deck, and even then, in very short bursts. Having said that, this game is consuming every bit of free time I have. It very elegantly aligns to everything I used to love about the Pokemon series and finds solutions in places where more recent Pokemon games have gone wrong. Graphics are beautiful and the music is a bop. Whole game is drawing me back every time I pause it and I’m SO…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been around since the kickstarter and it's been an absolute pleasure watching everyone work on and grow this amazing game! I put a lot of time in both the kickstarter demo as well as the public demo and the updates between the two made the gameplay more fun and the environment more beautiful! Without spoiling too much already, the story is absolutely wonderful and pulls you in--better yet you can make different choices that actually affect the story and characters. The monster designs…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a waste of time. Don't bother playing this game that doesn't value or respect the players time. A lot of people will tell you how buggy the map is and how lacking some of the Animon are and how many 2-stage evolutions, and the lack of sprites for "lost" variant Animon, which is something the devs got too lazy or ran out of time to finish and would rather have you pay upfront for somethings that should've been in game on release. My biggest problem with this game was the story; quite…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a big fan of creature collectors, I was sorely disappointed in this title. The designs of the Animon are interesting, but that's about all I liked. The battles are long and tedious, and the aggro of the enemies on the map had me running away from so many encounters. Exploration is frustrating with a lack of useful fast travel tools--the one that exists is not explained in game. In fact, many mechanics are never fully explained, especially with evolving the Animon! A creature collector…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →dont bother with this game. first off the update they just did ruined the combat system. they released an update for the game that cut the damage you deal by alot. at least 50%. overall damage was reduced by 50% and critical hits damage bonus was reduced from 1.8x to 1.3x. if an animon is a higher level then yours then you do far less damage. at 5 levels difference you do half damage to them and at 7 levels higher you do about 20% damage to them, its absolutely absurd. the devs did this…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →New commission! A sword for an anonymous client~ It is meant to evoke the design of a creature from Lumentale! I'm very satisfied with how this game out, and the pattern engraving on the blade is something I haven't done a lot of, so it was cool to work on that.
unlabelledView post →Same song and dance as most other negative reviews here. Wanted to like the game, but holy ♥♥♥♥ is there so many problems. From the overly large maps, a whack combat system that lets my friends take down over half my team with a single attack, exploration mechanics that I'm convinced were added at the last minute, and a non-existent story that repeats for EVERY ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ TOWN. There are just so many things, questions, I thought of during gameplay that never got an answer even after credits. "When…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I never leave reviews but this game warrants one for me. This game is not worth your money in its current state. It is buggy, unfinished, and unpolished. The gameplay is fun moment to moment a lot of the time but poor UI/UX, a very bad story, and poor QA and bugs make it impossible for me to recommend or finish. The Story- The story is frankly awful. Its unengaging at the best of times and full of pop culture references and marvel style quips at the worst of times. The protagonist is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a Milennial who's a longtime Pokemon and Digimon Fan. Playing even Pokemon VGC for years. THIS, is the direction we all wanted Pokemon to go in after it's peak in HGSS/BW2. So many people who are I assume less mature or not true fans of the creature collecting subgenre want this game to acclimate to THEIR agenda. To handhold, spoon feed and optimise things for THEM. But Lumentale: Memories of Trey is a standout loveletter to fans of the Pokemon Franchise and the greater creature…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was going to just give this a quick review but there are some major issues plaguing this game, which really hurts because it's so close to being something that stands out in the creature collector genre. First of all it severely lacks QoL like text speed, skipping cutscenes (the game crashes a lot), and speeding up battles. After your tenth battle it begins to get very boring and tedious watching every battle animation play out in full. (Especially while grinding/hunting) The level curves…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Having a blast with this so far. Second day after release and they’ve already come out with a hotfix for major bugs, so impatient people have clearly jumped the gun on reviews. In my experience it’s been entirely playable, and fun. Definitely for pokémon, digimon and monster taming fans, with enough new/unique systems and features to feel fresh and exciting. Very much scratching an itch for creature collecting and exciting turn based combat, spent the entire day waiting to get back from work so…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is really fun but holy jeez the amount of simple things i've needed to google search because nothing tells you is insane
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you have eye problems don't play this. The game constantly flash bangs you in literally every cutscene you do. Unless they add a toggle to invert the white color of transitions to black or a darker color that's easy on the eyes, i highly recommend you not to play this unless you want to suffer severe eye strain. I like this game, just needs to fix this....
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Besides the bugs, I've enjoyed the game so far. My takes: -Some people hate the story/dialogue of the game but i've enjoyed it personally. -Soundtrack is amazing, LIKE amazing amazing. -Visuals are super nice. -Gameplay is great, I like the variety of the elements that we get, its super nice. -Bugs are being fixed, which is GOOD since I did get softlock and lost about 40 min of progress. I know lots of people probably looking at the negative reviews and thought "nah, its not worth it",…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the best "creature collection" game, made with a lot of love. I've played the demo and fell in love with the game, for the first time since Cassette Beasts, the gameplay feel fresh and clear. I struggle with rythm so the overworld capture is not for me, but you can also catch Animon in fight. Beehive have learn a lot since their previous project and you can feel how they outgrow the limitation of their inspiration. I'll probably update this when i'll have played a bit more, but with a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Several years ago, I played an extremely well made Pokemon fangame called "Pokemon Xenoverse." It had entire animated cutscenes, custom music, and custom Pokemon. The creators eventually started work on their own original monster collection game, "Lumentale." \WE FINALLY HAVE A RELEASE DATE. 🔥
unlabelledView post →Let's start this by saying that I really wanted to love this game. I have been a backer (under a different alias) for this project basically since it was announced, and it hurts me to admit that it's a very unpolished product, to the point where I have to say "Not for now" to an hypothetical "Would you recommend this game to someone?" But let me explain, in an orderly fashion, what I believe are some strong points and some severely weak points I noticed during my playthrough. ! SPOILER…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very sad, game has potential but its a buggy mess full of crashes and QOL nightmares. Devs promised a fix would be released in July for a lot of the exact issues I had with the game so I had hope, but here we are in late August and the patch is nowhere to be found. Checked the Devs discord to see if there were any updates and the first thing I see is them announcing an xbox/ps5 port of the game while the steam version people already payed for is still broken. Its a small indie team so I can…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfortunately this game falls under the "devs didnt get the cyberpunk 2077 memo" category. This is in all aspects an early access game sold as complete, evident from the "early adopter" pack that was given with the first month sales. There are just way too many bugs and annoyances to make a thoughtfully flowing list, check out the reddit for all the technical problems, terrible evolution designs and extremely low spawn-rate for some of the rare encounters. This game somehow is under the same…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So buggy, for something that was supposed to be a "finished project", what we actually got is a game that's worse than most Early Access releases I've played. Can't even progress past the second mission in the game, completely locked out of the game with an infinite loading screen. UI elements are constantly flickering. Vines and moss on rocks/pillars keep phasing in and out of existence. All my achievements that I should have already unlocked required me to delete my ~40 hour save from the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finally finished the game and caught all creatures. They took the worst features of both Pokemon and Digimon and added them all together.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So, this is coming from a big fan of Pokémon since Red and Blue on the Gameboy and i can firmly say that this game is what i wanted from pokémon all along. i also played their fangame called Pokémon Xenoverse and it was soooo good. So, what do i like from the game, almost everything not gonna lie. The music is great, the artstyle is what i vibe with the most tho. the creatures are so well done. i also like all the mechanics around the Holoken, really nice. for the story, its ok, not insane but…

Is this game a masterpiece? No. But since I don't like Pokémon, you should probably ask someone else. I can describe how the game plays, though. The story follows Trey, a cyborg searching for his lost memories. He awakens with amnesia and has no idea who he is. In the world of Talea—divided between the traditional southern region of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An awful RPG with quite good creature and environment art but lot of game design errors. I can't suggest to people who like RPG or Monster collector games to buy it unless you care only about creatures appearance Vote 3/10 Since character limitation for the reviews I wrote explanation for everything as comments. It will contains spoilers. I modify the first review made after 9 hours and updated at 12 now that after 40 I finished the game. I got the key through the kickstarter campain of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really think there's a lot of good in this game. And as a game developer myself, writing this review pains me. LumenTale: Memories of Trey just lacks polish and has several bugs that keep it from feeling like it's complete. A few big ones for me which kept me from recommending this game are: 1) Lack of performance on the Steam Deck. This is a prime Steam Deck game, but it's obvious that it hasn't been optimized or tested for it properly. Even with vSync on; the UI lags and drags…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There are just too many things wrong with the game, and honestly, I haven’t been having the fun I expected (comparing this to Pokemon makes the latter seem creative). I’ve decided to stop playing because gaming is supposed to be enjoyable, not tedious like this creature collector. The game tries to make you believe it has a story, but every town follows the same repetitive formula. Catching a Lumen doesn’t even complete its scan, and the evolution methods are far from enjoyable. Add in weather…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to enjoy this game so badly. I played the demo and loved it so much. I was excited for the 1.0 and even retroactively purchased the Deluxe Edition as a way of showing love to the devs for what I thought would be a game I could enjoy. The demo worked perfectly fine, but ever since 1.0 the game hard crashes the instant I try to open it. I was able to launch it exactly *once* on release day. Loaded my old save from the demo, and have not been able to launch the game since then. No title…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR: It's okay-ish at best. Passable story, fun mons that look cool, a good combat system with its shared SP pool, and unique looking cities. Those are about all of the good this game has. The rest is mediocre. The game has three major oustanding issues: 1) Lots of very minor bugs and lack of overall polish. Crappy save system where you only have 1 save file and auto save overwrites your save file. No auto run. Plenty of tutorials for important game mechanics don't show up until you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had high expectations for this game, and it not only met them but exceeded them. Great story, great gameplay, and great designs—Lumentale has become one of my favorites this year. #lumentale #lumentalememoriesoftrey #digitalart #monsters
unlabelledView post →Has potential, but not finished. Lots of bugs, such as moves that do not work as intended. Core gameplay elements are buggy and they HAD to know they were buggy when they pushed it out. Shame on me for buying a game at release knowing full well it wouldn't be ready to go and they devs would take forever to fix things.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is the definition of "okay" and I would have given it a thumbs side ways if that was possible. Its definitely worth the 20$ just with the interesting battles and overworld captures for the first ~10 hours. The next 30 however drag on because of lots of annoying bugs, missing quality of life features, and a pretty dull story (which does get better in the last hour :laughing:). Some feedback for the dev's: 1. Spread the Animon out more to fill up the screen - when they hit their…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't understand why this game has ANY negative reviews, the complaints were bugs? I only experienced one and the sequence that caused it seemed rare. People complained about the visuals? Seriously? I've been playing the game on a cheap $200 mini pc I turned into a steam machine and it runs fine. This game takes everything that pokemon does/did and implements them or improves them, the story is fine, definitely better than or on par with anything we've gotten from pokemon in the last decade.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →To preface, i love monster collection games like pokemon and digimon, and this game has a lot of promise, but falls short. The variety of animon is great, and the designs look good. A lot of effort has been put into the world, both it's size and style. The combat is solid and mostly enjoyable. Performance wise, the game run fine and stable. However, the game has a lot of issues. - a lot of game braking bugs atm, i fell out of the world during my playthrough and this caused me to no longer be…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’m genuinely surprised by how much I’m enjoying this game so far. Visually, it looks fantastic, with an art style that clearly takes inspiration from Pokémon while still building its own identity with a darker and more unique atmosphere. The world feels cohesive, the environments are enjoyable to explore, and the optimization is honestly impressive. On the Steam Deck especially, the game runs really well with smooth performance overall, which honestly deserves recognition nowadays. One of the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →4/10 game with a multitude of bugs and devs that are in over their head. Don't voice your concerns on discord or you'll be banned.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First, I’d like to say that the game isn’t all bad—the creature designs are quite inspired, and in a monster-taming game, that makes a big difference. The story seems to stand out from the “traditional” formula by incorporating elements of more meaningful world-building. Despite all that, I have to say that the negative aspects stand out… glaringly. The game constantly gives off an unfinished feel: there are dozens of bugs that are easily detectable and reproducible (falling into lava, all…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is a decent monster collector game. I do not recommend it for casuals such as me, but only for big monster collecting fans and on a deep sale. Going to the animons, there was no reason to have different types of animon in my party; such as fire, grass, electric, demon, and water, in my opinion, ancient, aura, or digital would always have an attack that is super effective, and to be honest, those animons are the only ones that I really liked the designs and ideas for. Most of the evolutions…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finally got around to start playing Lumentale recently and I've been really enjoying the game and designs of the critters so far; which inspired me try doodling a Furtex!
unlabelledView post →Update 2: So they updated the game. The update took way longer to come out than they said it would, which was weird because they said that it was mostly quality of life stuff. Turns out by quality of life, they meant "halfing all damage so battles artificially take longer." The game is now even more tedious than it was before, and it was already very tedious. Do not buy this game. The one redeeming quality it had was that the battles were pretty fun. Now they aren't. There is nothing here. If…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm a glutton for creature collector games with hundreds of hours in this genre and have played them since I was a kid. Pokémon, Temtem, Palworld, Nexomon and more, and this seems like another great game to take a look at if you are a fan of any of those kinds of games. I vastly prefer double battles you can find in Pokémon and Temtem as it offers a deeper level of strategy and makes me feel more engaged. This game takes it a step further and lets you field up to four Animon at a time with a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really want to like this game but no way I can write this review and say that it was good. The designs of the areas and the Animon are stunning. There were even parts where I had to stop and admire the beauty of this game. But the UI issues, the overly-complex ways to evolve Animon, over-leveling that is abundant if you do not beeline for every main mission, and the repetitive climax of the game that culminates in a boss fight that required me to over-level to 15 levels over the boss to have…

unlabelledView post →Let's start with a premise: all things considered, I liked the game just enough (helped by its reasonable price) to be able to recommend it. However, I've decided not to. I've decided not to recommend it (and to advise against it) because I consider Lumentale a tremendously and inexcusably PRESUMPTUOUS and CLUELESS game. First, a small digression on the positives — the game does have some, not many, but some: Trey is not an exceptional protagonist, but he's definitely "alive" enough to stand…

Even though the release was kinda bittersweet, everyone on the community was super nice and helpful and we managed to work togheter to overcome most bugs!

I'm past the halfway point and I'm seeing a lot of negative reviews so I just want to say the following: 1. Seeing a lot of complaints about the self-contained plots in each town. The story is episodic in nature. That is the point. I don't see an issue with it. Pair that with the overarching question of who Trey is (which I will…

There are hidden types for everything that the game just doesnt tell you exist and some guys only evole if you have that type. I hate how the dex is, it tell is supposed to tell you how something can evolve but it only says level+, so you need level and something else, it doesnt say what that something is. It could be a hidden type, move, item whatever but there is no hint towards it. You also fight second stage animon long before you can…
