Hey PokéRogue community! After wave 2300+ in endless mode, I figured it was time to pour out my heart about this game. Spoiler alert: I'm obsessed! Here's my take on what makes PokeRogue so special, along with a few wishes for the future.
Why I'm Hooked
Endless mode is crack. Plain and simple it is one of the most addictive modes in a video game to date. It allows you to get lost in the progression of making your team better and better. But what separates this from other games? I feel like there is a high skill cap to it. And with the high skill cap and the added randomness, it really lets you be creative. And that combined with the numbers makes for an amazing experience. As stated prior, I really enjoy seeing the numbers continue to climb.
Wishlist for Improvement
Okay, now let's dive into some areas where the game could level up even further. The scaling on enemy damage reduction and damage tokens feels off. There should be a cap on that. It really ruins the power fantasy. If there isn't going to be a cap, maybe there could be a way to have an overflow of our numbers? The suggestion that I would have for this is that we make it so that items no longer have a level cap. This would add a further sense of progression into the end game. On top of that I'd love to see more items being available within each teir.
On top of the number suggestions, I really wish there was an item that was added that increased the level of a selected pokemon to the same level as the players highest pokemon. And the last big suggestion that I have is to make the Legendary Gacha targeted. Having to wait for a specific one to pop in is frustrating and tiresome.
Overall, PokeRogue Dex is fantastic. Even with the small amount of gripes. I truly am excited to see what future updates are to come.
