NEO MONSTERS
INTRODUCTION
Neo monsters is an RPG game for IOS and Android Operating Systems. Much in the spirit on Pokemon, it includes a journey in which creatures may be caught, trained, evolved, and even battled against others (in this case even your friends). Neo Monsters is a game of progression, adventure, and creativity. Many of the monsters found in the game were also previously included in the IOS game, "Hunter Island."
NEO MONSTERS - THE PREMISE
Neo Monsters comes with you that has been chosen as the inheritor of your late uncle's monster ranch. Coincidentally this uncle of yours is also a Championship monster breeder, and more coincidentally is somehow having a not so good reputation in your country. With a story that is believed to be made up by the king, your uncle is framed as a traitor to the Empire.
This fact makes you, as his nephew, become the target of many other monsters breeder. So in order to avoid yourself becoming an easy target, you should start building your team. Like always, you will have four starter monsters offered to you. Of course, you can just choose one out of four available monsters.
Afterwards, you will be capturing more wild monsters as you go. Train them, fight with them, and explore the online stories to resolve the mystery of your uncle.
If that's not enough, you can also apply to fight in the league. There are tournaments that can be challenged with and who knows, maybe you can repeat the legend of your uncle, becoming the Champions of monster breeding.
NEO MONSTERS - THE GAMEPLAY
Compared to Pocket Trend's previous games, Neo Monsters gameplay feels really similar to Hunter Island. However, this similarity is not like they're actually the same game at all. Neo Monsters is like the upgraded, more polished version from the Hunter Island. It has more realistic feeling in their combat interface, especially the new animated battle between the monsters. All and all, it's not even right to compare Neo Monsters to its predecessor. It is a better game overall.
Putting aside graphics, the core gameplay of Neo Monsters is still the fight between monsters. Like any Pokemon games out there, Neo Monsters also uses turn-based fight. The turn when your monsters attack is decided by time. Like its predecessor, every moves use time. The more powerful the move is, the more "second" it consume, and the longer the monster will have to wait for its turn. This time-based gameplay is what made Neo Monsters unique and separates itself from Pokemon.
Having a fixed and unique gameplay however, doesn't mean that there's no improvement in terms of the core gameplay in this game. Pocket Trend doesn't stop to innovate by introducing a new 4v4 team tag battle system from previously 3v3 team tag. With this new 4v4 battle system, now you can bring more monsters to the battle. You can bring up to 16 monsters in your party so if you're planning it well, there's no way your party will be wiped out by the enemies.
Not only their battle system, Neo Monsters also comes with a massive 900+ monsters list complete with their own animation and some new skills. With this new skills also comes new strategy to counter stronger enemies. Now, if you're standing in the same level with the enemies, even if your monster quality isn't as good as theirs, as long as you're in the same level, you can actually beat them.
There is new training system being introduced in Neo Monsters. Now, instead of your monsters gain experience by fighting, your monsters will be improved by attending training sessions. In this training session, using a card-based system, you will be choosing training card for your monsters. There are five cards available that have its own grade and its own stats, bronze for the worse card, silver, and gold for the best card. Then, for each grade, there're Attack, Defend, HP, and Spped stats card. With this new training system, you can actually choose yourself how you want your monsters to develop.
And if you have internet connection to play with, Neo Monsters also periodically gives new content update to players. This new content is like a side story, a story about the uncle, Hector. Also, it's a good way to catch more monsters on the way along, and some good way to get training sessions faster.
TRAINING SESSION TIPS
When you're doing training session, note that it would consume monster's training sessions limit. Because every monsters have limit in its training session, make sure that every session always be as efficient as possible.
One of the trickiest thing is aiming for combos in training session. The rule in doing combo is that you have to train in the same area again. These combo however, doesn't give that much compared to gold card. So if you're faced with options to do combo but skipping gold card, choose the later.
Also, all the cards will be shuffled again, so there's no use for saving any cards. At your last session, just try to aim for combo or gold card since all your cards will be gone.
OUT OF TRAINING SESSION?
If your monsters is out of training session, you can always give them de-aging fruit. These fruits can also be obtained through the online mission using the silver/golden key. However, should you remind yourself that once you've opened the mission with this key, the mission will be available for 1 hour. During this hour, you can enter the room unlimited, as long as you have enough energy. So make sure to enable your notifications in order to keep the key usage as efficient as possible.

The "basic" elements - Fire, Water, Storm, and Earth - are each strong against one basic element, but weak against another basic element. For example, Water is strong against Fire, but weak against Storm.
Unlike the basic elements, Holy and Shadow are in direct opposition to each other. Each is strong when attacking the other, but weak when being attacked by the other. Holy and Shadow have no advantages or disadvantages against the "basic" elements.
EVOLUTION
Evolution
Nearly all monsters in the game can evolve. Monsters start off on their Initial Form, and if they can evolve, move up stages. To increase a monsters experience, you must use training points in Training, which help increase your monsters stats, eventually evolving them.
Basic Evolution
This evolution is from gaining more stats from regular Training. At the end of each training session, under a monster still able to undergo evolution, it shows the percentage for how close the monster is to evolving. Once you reach 100%, your monster will evolve.
Ultra Evolution
Ultra evolution is only available to monsters Epic rarity and above. Monsters of these rarity have a missing star, which could be acquired through ultra evolution. To ultra evolve, you must have all the ingredient monsters shown on the right of the monster (seen when you go to ultra evolution in the game), as well as a certain amount of silver. Ingredients can be found in online mode, and require the use of a silver key to unlock an area. Ultra evolution also requires that the monster is fully upgraded with max stats.
CONCLUSION
Neo Monsters has successfully maintained PocketTrend's reputation as the best monster-catcher game in iOS. It has polished and better quality product overall. If you've played monster-catcher game or looking for another one, Neo Monsters is no brainer and should definitely goes into your pocket.
