It's a peculiar aspect of gaming that despite the often vilified role of RPG monsters, many of us find ourselves drawn to these quirky creatures. This affection has given rise to the niche genre of monster farming games, a category that the newly released Chronomon exemplifies perfectly.
As the name suggests, Chronomon blends elements from Palworld and Stardew Valley. In this game, players explore a vast, RPG-style open world, collecting unique Chronomon. These creatures can be tamed and battled against others, while players also have the opportunity to cultivate their own farm. Unlike traditional monster farming games, Chronomon places less emphasis on farming the monsters themselves. Instead, it presents a classic monster-taming RPG experience where farming serves as a relaxing side activity, offering a glimpse into what adventurers might do during their downtime.
Available at a premium price on both iOS and Android, Chronomon promises future smartwatch compatibility, cleverly playing on the 'chrono' (time) aspect of its name. The game boasts a rich array of mechanics, ensuring that both farming and monster taming are equally engaging. One of its main attractions is the flexibility it offers players, allowing them to switch seamlessly between intense tactical battles and the laid-back experience of tending to their crops, catering to a wide range of player preferences.
