Description
It is a story-driven, open-world fan game set in the brand new, isolated Faedos region. Centuries ago, a mysterious storm cut the archipelago off from the world, and the familiar Pokémon were driven to extinction by feral, monstrous creatures known as Faedes. You play as a new graduate from The Institute, an organization trying to heal the divide between humans and these new monsters. Your journey begins when the spirit of Faedos itself tasks you with taming every Faede to stop a coming calamity. This is not a traditional Pokémon adventure; it's a dark, challenging dungeon-crawler where you'll explore a dangerous world, choose to side with one of two rival factions (Team Cyber or Team Mystic), and uncover the truth behind the region's troubled history.
Features
- A Brand New Region & Story: Explore the entirely new Faedos region, a land with a troubled history where Pokémon are extinct and have been replaced by monstrous creatures. Experience a story-driven, open-world adventure where you must unravel the mysteries of the island and stop a coming calamity.
- 100+ Original Fakemon: The game's core feature. The Pokédex is filled with over 100 brand new, custom-made Pokémon called "Faedes."
- Open World with Non-Linear Gyms & Scaling Difficulty: The game is non-linear, allowing you to challenge the 6 Gyms in any order you choose. The levels of trainers and wild encounters will scale to your progress.
- Branching Storyline: Make a crucial choice to side with one of two rival factions, Team Cyber or Team Mystic, which will split the storyline and change the course of your adventure.
- A Focus on 2v2 Double Battles: The game has a strong focus on the strategic 2v2 battle format, with challenging (but not Kaizo) boss battles that are balanced around the use of items.
- Fakemon Crafting System: Defeated Faedes drop unique "Fakemon materials." These are used in a deep crafting system to create TMs and items, make money, and complete some of the 60+ sidequests.
- Criminal Activities: You can choose to engage in optional, illicit criminal activities for extra rewards, but you run the risk of getting caught.
- Modern Battle Mechanics & Balance: The game includes updated systems from newer generations, including the Snow weather condition and the Frostbite status effect, alongside a host of new custom moves, new abilities, and balance changes.
- Strategic "No Grind" Gameplay: The game is designed to keep the focus on strategy. Held items replenish after every battle, and a special "Tainted Candy" item helps you easily manage your team's levels to prevent disobedience.
- New Shiny Hunting System & Egg Gacha: The game features a completely new and unique system for shiny hunting. There is also an "egg gacha" mechanic that gives you a chance to obtain any Fakemon early in the game.
- Full Post-Game: After completing the main story (up to Level 45), you can access a post-game area specifically designed for building and testing competitive teams.
- Dedicated Quest System: A full quest system is included, with over 60 optional side missions to complete.
- Modern UI & Quality of Life: Enjoy a host of modern features, including a toggleable game speed-up on 'Q', enhanced Pokédex and summary screens with detailed information, and custom egg groups and sprites.
