BattlePet V Rising Review

Outstanding and distinctive boss designs combined with a simple yet visually stunning building style made this game nearly an 8 or even 9 out of 10 experience during its early to mid-stages. After completing it, I was even inspired to seek out similar games, though I have not yet found another one equally captivating. However, gameplay monotony becomes evident since the mid-to-late game phases, and in the endgame, there are even mechanics that force players into pointless grinding for materials to acquire gear, artificially inflating playtime. This is a significant flaw, so much so that I'd prefer skipping the intended progression entirely—just obtaining endgame gear directly to defeat all bosses quickly and wrap up my experience. New players interested in this should mentally prepare for a substantial drop in enjoyment during the later stages of gameplay.
