Abomi Nation is a new procedurally generated monster tamer RPG, released on July 29, 2021. Though the game is listed as a roguelike, it feels far more story-oriented than most roguelikes I've played, with a cast of cute characters and fun combat. In fact, the game openly states that death isn't necessarily an issue. On Abomi Nation's Steam page, it says "Don't worry! If you end up losing all of your Abomis, you can continue your run with death turned off at the sacrifice of some rewards. So give it your best shot!" Not super roguelike-like.
While the "roguelike" term may be a misnomer, it is still apparent that developer Orange Pylon games built a game that is meant to be replayed and enjoyed, with a ton of different monsters to recruit onto your team. The game is lively and fast moving, with a lot of fun dialogue and humor. I took a quick look at Abomi Nation yesterday, and found myself really grooving on the rhythms of the game. Check it out:
Abomi Nation is now available on Steam for $19.99.
