Good Try – Combo Critters Review

The core concept is cool. Basically Pokemon but as just a series of more difficult plants and evolving is just combing creatures to get a new one. This game gets pretty grindy pretty fast. Maybe my patience for grinding has gotten lower over the years but even as early as the third planet, I'm just grinding battling to get enough coins to combine my creatures into something that will survive against the boss. There are combo attacks you can do that are kinda fun but you have to hit three times to do it and that rarely happens unless you're fighting a boss. The huge miss for me is the fact that you cannot order your creatures. What?? You can't sort by level and you can't manually reorder them. I tried to sort them by level by clunkily putting them in the combine slot, going to the page I wanted and dropping them off. I left the screen and came back and they had all gone back to the previous messy order. Good idea for a game but the actual mechanics are infuriating.
