Key information
The new strategy title Huemon has launched a demo on Steam, sparking controversy due to its visual style. Set on the mysterious continent of Dithma, the game tasks players with collecting and raising creatures known as Huemon to combat a conspiracy threatening the world's colors.
Combat utilizes a 5-on-5 grid-based system where positioning and movement are critical. Players must manage three elemental attributes: Red for offense, Green for support and healing, and Blue for crowd control. Strategic depth is provided by swapping side decks before battles to exploit elemental weaknesses found in specific habitats.
Despite these distinct mechanics, the game faces significant criticism regarding its aesthetic. Observers have pointed out that the sprite designs, environmental assets like rocks and trees, and human character appearances bear a striking resemblance to the first and second generations of the Pokemon series.
While the developer has implemented unique team-based combat and exploration systems, the high level of visual similarity remains a central point of contention. The game is currently available for users to experience through its newly released Steam demo.
