It feels unbalanced and unnecessarily mercenary, and the whole game would have been better off without the star rankings, period.
EVOCREO STARTER EVOLUTIONS FREE
You can complete special offers to earn more free currency, but unless you feel like signing up for a new credit card or subscription service, it's in very small amounts. The Creo you get is completely random, as is its star level (though guaranteed to be at least seven), so you still might not get something you want. You can find enough of the premium currency literally lying around at the start of the game (or by agreeing to like this game and its partner on Facebook) to pay for two "free" special summons, but there doesn't appear to be any more after that, and summoning itself is frustratingly unreliable. It won't prevent you from beating the game at all, or even force you to grind that much as long as you take strengths and weaknesses into account, but it's worrying, especially with a planned multiplayer updated in the future, that players who pay may always wind up with the upper hand.
Most wild-caught Creo only have a few stars, and while you can get several Creo with five to seven star ratings through in-game events, when most of the boss characters are rocking all ten star Creo it starts to feel a little unfair. On the one hand, the majority of the purchases are entirely cosmetic, which makes it a nice way to support the developer, but on the other, the star system feels like it's there solely to try to get you to pay. Creos obtained in this way not only have alternate colour schemes, but are guaranteed to be more powerful via the number of stars they have than most Creo you'll find. Or you can buy a special currency that allows you a random Creo summoning.
You can unlock cosmetic skins for your Evoker if you want to look different, and you can pick up an item that will turn off all the random encounters in an area you've already passed through. While their are in-app purchases, they're both optional and a little odd. Additionally, Creos learn special traits and abilities that can be equipped, ranging from passive bonuses to helpful things like the ability to ride them around outside of combat, or even tunnel underground and find secret areas to explore. have a certain Creo use all fire move, for instance, and when its fire affinity is maxed, it'll evolve into a fire-based form. While most Creo evolve normally, some have multiple evolutions that depend on how you fight with them. Win, and your Creo will be granted experience so they can level up and eventually evolve, but you're gaining experience too! Each level your Evoker reaches for exploring and issuing commands unlocks a point you can spend on unlocking new passive abilities and boosts, like a discount in stores or faster travel. Battles are turn-based, and while some moves can be used over and over, others come with cool down periods that need a few turns to recharge. You can have a party of five Creo (with many more in storage), and as you explore other Evokers will challenge you if you walk into their line of sight. It must be said that EvoCreo is very, very Pokemon, down to the Creo hiding in tall grass and needing to be captured when they're weakened, to say nothing of the opening Creo professor introduction.
EVOCREO STARTER EVOLUTIONS UPDATE
With more content coming later on in an update and enough right now for dozens of hours of gameplay EvoCreo is well worth the price of admission for anyone looking for a bright, engaging casual RPG to pick up, with an Android version on the way in the coming weeks. It's a handheld-quality adventure boasting dozens of hours of play time, held back by a handful of issues that are frustrating, though not game-breaking. In your search to rescue your dad (and, whaddaya know, maybe save the world along the way), you'll compete in arenas and defeat champions, capture and train up to 130 different Creo, and uncover a fair amount of secrets. As the game opens, your father has gone missing, the mysterious group known as Shadow Hive are kidnapping people, and a new group is pushing for genetic modification of Creo, the creatures originally used to fight wars and now used as companions by the trainers known as Evokers. Ilmfinity's Pokemon-alike RPG adventure for iOS EvoCreo is, bluntly put, a ridiculously good deal at its puny price of 0.99USD, despite suffering from some rough edges and a bit of clone-itis.
