The combat is more fun and involved than Pokémon Go, but there're a lot of caveats. Progress slows to a trickle early on, combat suffers from lag and freezing, even on new devices, and the game tells you almost nothing about its mechanics, leaving it up to you to comb fan wikis. The cost of upgrading gear at higher levels almost punishes experimenting, and since gameplay hardly changes as the game progresses, the repetition becomes a grind. Fun for a while, but painful to stick with.

Pro, nice story.,lots of fun and good to play with friends. Good replacement for Pokemon Go. Cons, upgrade parts have a very low drop rate. Hunts have a tendency to drop for 'network issues' and then you lose all health items, and you do not get to return to your group. So this kills the hunt for everyone in it. This is a major issue in this game.

Progress slows down once you get to grade 5 materials and not sure who they are kidding with their in-app "deals". The game has really improved in the last couple of weeks, though. There are lots of events, and you can even hunt specific monsters by taking out a number of large monsters. It does feel like Niantic listens to reviews and is improving the experience. It's definitely worth trying out. I Only wish there was an easier way for coop. Maybe some way to do long distance with friends?
