Just finished the demo and it’s been quite an enjoyable experience despite the frequent crashes and bugs.
I played it on the Steam Deck with Proton Experimental and it ran pretty well.
as for the frequent crashes as it mainly happened whenever i entered the Ashen Forest and rarely during prolonged fights, it was a decently enjoyable demo and amazing considering it was made by a single developer.
Absolutely looking forward to pay and play the full version!
as for the bugs:
- Unable to save settings.
- Getting “stuck” in single grass patches and being forced to fight random encounters multiple times.
- Being able to cross hills without the stairs and getting stuck there or going over lava and getting there.
- Wrong biome names frequently pop up (e.g. If i was in the Ashen Forest it would randomly pop up the Mysterious Island logo multiple times).
- Overlapping pokemons during fights.
- Song cut outs during fights (rare)
- Pokemon/trainers/Health bar/Action options disappearing mid fight and sometimes reappearing in between actions.
- (Since this was on the Steam Deck it might be an issue on the device compatibility with the game but not sure) Dpad button getting “possessed” and going all over the place or getting stuck in all sorts of menu options and during fights.
