‘Procemon’ Procedurally Generates Monsters, Powers, and Places

Procemon: You Must Catch Them is a monster-catching sport the place all the pieces is generated, tasking you with overcoming evil regardless of countless chaos.

You’re out to beat up the shareholders of the sinister Infinity Corporation, and you want some creatures that will help you do it. What creatures will you get as you discover, although? As talked about, all the pieces is procedurally generated within the sport, so that you by no means know what you’ll run into. You can’t even guess the names of the monsters, as these are generated as properly. As are their assaults. And their animations, the sounds they make, and their particular results are generated as properly. You want to truly get to know your monsters to determine methods to use them, as there’s no technique to inform what you will have in your palms.

That procedural era extends into different areas. Each monster has an outline, however these are generated as properly (and normally hilarious or weird due to it). If you need extra monsters, you’ll be able to attempt to appeal them onto your workforce. May as properly, seeing because it’s arduous to know what’s good or not. You also can fuse them collectively to make one thing new, drawing on that energy of randomness and chaos to see when you get some fascinating new creature.

It’s so chaotic and unpredictable that it’s enjoyable to only gather whoever you’ll be able to and roll with what the sport provides you. This is what’s made the sport so intriguing, to me. When I by no means have any concept of what I’m combating or what creature I’m befriending, I’m not fear about stats or combating capabilities. I’m simply getting to fulfill these unknowable creatures and take them on unusual adventures. It invested me extra in discovery and in bonding with the creatures. It’s actually a neat tackle monster-catching video games, and helped me kind an emotional connection that I haven’t felt with these sorts of video games in a while.

Plus, some of these items the sport generates is downright hilarious.



Procemon: You Must Catch Them is offered now on itch.io and Steam.
