There are a couple hundred monsters in the game, but most of them have different variations for each elemental type, leading to a huge number of possible outcomes. This stands out because you can also crossbreed to create new variations of your existing creatures. Again, this is rather similar to PokГ©mon in that you take two of your creatures and breed them to make a new, stronger creature with the attributes of both. Perhaps the coolest feature in Monster Crown is the breeding system. There are some nice changes, such as the complete removal of the 'PP' system that PokГ©mon used to limit actions, but it's a bare-bones system, and the creatures don't have quite as much variety in attributes or abilities as their more well-known brethren. Different moves have different attributes, such as poisoning, lowering stats, and so on. Hitting an enemy with a move they are weak against does more damage, hitting an enemy with one they are strong against does less.

As in that game, you have creatures with different elemental types and different moves. The combat system is very similar to PokГ©mon but somewhat simplified. This also puts it in the weird position of being a game in a genre designed for children that absolutely isn't interested in being for children, but it also doesn't manage to create a PokГ©mon for adults. It doesn't treats the world of monster training any more seriously or logically it's just as silly as any PokГ©mon game but with more swearing. The game shifts from the cheerful friendly tone of PokГ©mon to lame attempts at maturity, and somehow, it ends up being worse.

It simultaneously tries to feel like an old-school PokГ©mon game while also being 'dark' and 'mature.' In this case, dark and mature means that people swear and there is inexplicable violence.
