    Shout out to Cassette Beasts. Just and overall wonderful game for anyone who enjoys the monster battler genre. Great music, novel setting, solid story, and plenty of room for emergent gameplay stemming from the ability to hotswap abilities and the chance for “bootleg” monsters with different types than normal.

      I can confirm! Cassette Beasts is one of my favourites, possibly the best Monster Taming game out there. The art direction is absolutely gorgeous, the music is amazing, the overall polish and attention to detail is extremely satisfying.

      I also like their take on the strategic side, opting for buffs and debuffs and varying interactions between types instead of the simpler super effective / not very effective mechanic

    Digimon World DS. It had the fun speed stat mechanic where a sufficiently high one let your mons have multiple turns in a row.

    That demo for time stranger was pretty great so that one’s probably going to by my answer mext month.
