Now for my final thoughts on Dark Prince

I've played some monsters games before. Mainly Joker 1 and some of Monsters 2 3D. I've found synthesizing monsters to be way easier in this game, both with actually being able to get the monsters and how intuitive some of the synthesis' are. The mole hole turned the quest to make higher tier monsters from annoying to just being some effort since I could just pick up old monsters I had made from there. I had the problem that monsters didn't have insane stats like Jokers at levels 10-20 but it turns out this game wants you to really level up your monsters and give you 5 million xp Metal Kings to do it with. Just a different design choice which while a bit less satisfying to start is understandable and it's more fun smashing bosses with your level 50+ team and their high stats.

The plot was what you'd expect for a monsters game I guess. It exists to move you on to fighting harder enemies. I liked having Solo and friends around sometimes and the plot turns from kind of dumb to pretty alright, The dying mum bit is just too cliche for me. I liked Rose and BENNET was an ok guy. Jokers 1 played itself pretty straight the entire time and I think they did it a bit better there.

Took about 28 hours to beat the game and made a pretty good team
