I enjoyed most of this game, but sadly towards the end the game pulls the rug out from under you and becomes 10x more difficult. The monsters start to get abilities that without rebuilding your entire team to silence them/stop them from casting you will not survive. This means a dozen or more hours of breeding new monsters to be ready, because the team you want to use will not be good enough. Expect to be breeding for far longer then you want. They will be monsters you don't even like because endgame requires basically meta builds which take all the fun out of having 400 monsters to mess with. This soured the game for me. It sucks so bad as I was enjoying it, but I did finish it after breeding new monsters for a few days. The team I used worked perfectly fine with minimal intervention on my part until you kill the last major demon. The areas after that the team I relied on for 90 hours got wrecked in every trainer battle/demon battle thereafter. If you use the meta monsters the game i...

About the Game
A Mythical Journey
"Yaoling: Mythical Journey" takes place on the mysterious Land of the Ancients, where unique environments gave birth to different types of Yaolings. With the combined efforts of the Divine Jade Tree and Yaoling Keepers, Yaolings have become inseparable friends and companions to humans. However, a dark power brews behind the seemingly harmonious veil, stirring up unease among the Yaolings…
Diverse and Unique Yaolings
The Land of the Ancients is home to over 300 types of fantastical Yaolings of unique species, characteristics, and abilities. Every Yaoling is unique due to their combination of stats and talents. As they gain combat experience, Yaolings can evolve into more powerful forms, many of which might bring you unexpected surprises!
Yaoling Keeping Mastery
No Yaolings are weak in the hands of an adept Yaoling Keeper! On your journey to become an outstanding Yaoling Keeper, you must learn the abilities and talents of different Yaolings, be flexible in creating strong lineups, and devise strategies against different opponents and situations.
Rare Yaoling Encounters
In rare circumstances, you may encounter Yaolings with unusual colors, shiny appearances, or larger sizes during your journey. Rumor has it that some Yaolings may even possess all these traits simultaneously! These unique features will be retained through level-ups and evolution. One would wonder what other surprises await Yaoling Keepers on this mythical journey?
Forging a Home
Rescue companions in times of crisis and invite them to help build up your village. They will unlock useful buildings such as restaurants, training grounds, breeding dens, and more! In addition to their excellence in combat, some Yaolings make great helpers for farming, mining, cooking, and crafting.
Dangerous Demon Lords
For unknown reasons, Yaolings are becoming restless and transforming into demons, with some even becoming unique demon lords. Defeating these demon lords will help them regain their consciousness, turning them back into their innocent baby forms to fight alongside you.
Unfold Your Story
As a destined Yaoling Keeper, you will venture through the beautiful land alongside your Yaolings, procuring hidden treasures, challenging Schools of Yaoling Keepers, and face off against powerful Demon Lords. You can catch and document Yaolings you encounter, explore different line-ups during battles, or simply fish along the waterbanks. Your journey is for you to unfold!
The Magic of Charms
Knowing the right time and place to use charms is an essential skill for a Yaoling Keeper. Spells casted through charms can both provide buffs and healing for allies, while damaging and crippling enemies. Some are even used to forge bonds with Yaolings. Casting charms outside of battle may bring about many surprises!

not controller friendly, hope developer improve it so i can play on handheld
If you have no idea what this game is, think pokemon legends arceus but rather than the turn based battles once you leave the overworld, it's a real time battler. My rating for the game in it's current state as of 8/15/2025 when it's at full release is a 7/10, with an asterisk that it could very easily get boosted to a 10/10 with some relatively minor fixes. It's mostly a good game, I enjoyed it and it is WELL worth the 20$ I paid for it. But it has some rough spots mostly to do with communicating features to players, lacking quality of life features and a lackluster ending. For the points it lost, 2 of those are for the QOL/communication failures, 1 is for the ending. Positives: -> Absolutely stellar creature designs I'm picky when it comes to designs I like, and this game knocks it out of the park for me. The designs have a fairly wide range, some more original than others, but all visually interesting without getting cluttered. I usually end up with a squad of favorites in a g...
Really nice game, not very complicated mechanic and very chill game to pass the time
A fun, whimsical take on the creature collection/auto battler genre. The art style is fun and well done and even though it can feel grindy (what creature collection game isnt?) it keeps it refreshing by keeping it more simple. All in all I love this game so far, and I think its worth playing. (I would say I would wait for it to go on sale, not 100% worth full price)
If you like creature-collector or auto battler game, this is the one for you. (There're shiny too)
Very fun. Scratches itch of overworld catching that rewards exploration. Battle system a bit mixed, sometimes doesn't find it's footing between being too easy or too hard but doesn't deter from the fantastic designs, music and vibe.
