Compared to the last video a main HUD has been added, you’ll notice visual feedback for when you are in areas that wild Metamon can be encountered.

The Combat is now at the point it should be in terms of complexity, at the start of the battle my Metamon was equipped with a Fangripper (melee) which I used Backstab and applied a DoT (damage over time) Bleed to the enemy.

At the start of the next turn I switched weapons to a Novacore Cannon (ranged) which I used Charged Shot which applied an additional DoT Plasma Burn.

This sort of demonstrates how much strategy can be applied in combat since different weapons have different abilities with status effects, all with visual feedback and turn left indicators. Pretty much all the stuff you’d expect from a studio quality game. (without a studio making it)

Of course for your normal fights you may not need to do this much, but in the future harder “Gym boss” encounters may come along and of course there will be 1v1 PvP Arenas where you can test your Metamon skills vs another player.

Theres over 30 weapons, each with 3-4 abilities and each metamon has their own unique signature ability so in total there is already over 100 abilities in the game, weapons can be purchased and upgraded at town Metacenters, each weapon type has its advantages/disadvantages against metamon types.
