Battle Camp vs Monster Harvest
Battle Camp
Battle Camp is a pet-collecting and battling game where players venture out into the world with their team of five monsters and take on other monsters and players alike. The game has a matching (not match-3)/RPG gameplay in which players will have to chain up similar pieces to allow the corresponding monster to cause damage to their enemies and charge up the monster's skill. Aside from the PvP or GvG aspects, there are also cooperative elements in the game where players - or Rangers to be exact - can band together to fight epic raid bosses for plenty of loot. The best part is monster trading is possible in this game, but you should still be on the lookout for scammers. The graphics used in this game is cartoonish too, making both the character and the monsters look incredibly adorable. Of course, you'll also be able to customize your avatar from top to bottom.Battle Camp is possibly among the first matching/RPG to be released on the mobile platform (we took match-3/RPGs into account as well) that has exploded and became very popular even until today. If you love Pokemon games and match-3/RPGs, you'll really like the unique take Battle Camp has to offer in terms of its gameplay.
Monster Harvest
Monster Harvest is a very promising game that features a refreshing blend of monster-collecting and farming simulation. In this game, you grow various “pocket monsters” called Planimals at your farm and bring them to the local rec center to test your mettle or the dungeon to gather special materials. You'll get to develop both your farm and your skills as a Planimal trainer.If you love farming sims and collecting Pokemon - or any other types of pocket monsters really, then Monster Harvest is the game for you! The game features the very interesting premise of turning your crops into battle pets, and how you “slime” them will result in different kinds of pets with varying power. There’s even a roguelite dungeon and a gym for you to test your mettle at and, in the case of the dungeon, gather special resources for upgrades.
The sad thing is Monster Harvest is woefully early access and a work-in-progress. The game still has some pretty massive bugs and pending content (such as the empty-feeling “festival”), though none of them are completely game-breaking. In the worst case, you’ll just have to restart the game, though some players have reported corrupted saved games where all their planimals stored in the pen went missing.
Due to this, I’d not recommend getting the game right now. If you’re really interested, try the free demo and wishlist the game to keep an eye on it. Once the bugs are squashed to a more manageable level and some more features and content are added, then you might want to splurge and grab the game.
