Monster Harvest vs Pokemon Quest
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.
Pokemon Quest
Pokemon Quest lets you venture into the mysterious island of Tumblecube which houses a host of cube-shaped Pokemon. Here, you can set off on exciting expeditions with your team of 3 pokemon in search of treasure while befriending new pokemon and giving your current pokemon the opportunity to train and grow stronger.You can set up a base camp in this game too. At your base camp, you can have fun decorating it - decorations actually grant special bonuses to your expeditions and pokemon - and also whipping up some mouth-watering food at the cooking pot to attract pokemon to visit your camp.
From the blocky graphics to the casual RPG gameplay, Pokemon Quest is fun little Pokemon game that's well-designed for the mobile platform. It's as close as you can get to playing a Pokemon game that's similar to a combination of the handheld version of the game and Animal Crossing.
