I enjoyed what I played of it. I got through a sky chase level with a dragon form but you get your flight stolen immediately.
The game is mostly fun, exploring and collecting armor is nice though I felt a bit gold starved and there was no way to grind gold until a certain volcano level. The difficulty spike is significant. It goes from being chill to very strict. The animal change and armor swapping started to feel very annoying. I decided to put it down as I felt I got my fill. I recommend it if you want something old school hard, do not recommend it if you become frustrated easily.

Well-made, cute, and fun at times, but but warned that by the latter half it gets surprisingly difficult in terms of precision platforming and cryptic puzzles.

The beginning of the game is too easy. It is pretty, but it started reminding me of Monster Land on the DS: an OK game but a way too easy take on the Monster World formula.
By the time I got to the third or forth dungeon, it started getting hard and way way more fun than what I anticipated. It is definitely a game worth playing.
It feels a bit too derivative at points. For example, with almost all the songs being basically just remixes of other Monster World games. They are composed by Yuzo Koshiro so who cares, I guess? The art is very good and it truly felt like a Monster World game, in a way that no other clone I tried before was.
