Team battle game inspired by Pokemon
Pocket Incoming is a free role-playing title for mobile from developer wentao. It’s a team-based battle game wherein players will take control of mystical creatures taking direct inspiration from the hit Pokemon franchise. In it, they will battle other trainers to become the best in the world.
Similar to Pocket Monster: Duel or Pokeland Fairies, Pocket Incoming features strategic turn-based gameplay that has players come up with the best tactics to win in duels. What makes it stand out is its more engaging combat that allows for teams of five creatures to take part in battles at the same time.
A new adventure begins
Pokemon is one of the biggest and most popular media and game franchises in the world. It spans multiple industries, from its card battle games to hit anime shows and line of tactical RPGs across multiple console systems. The latter has inspired others that aim to offer the same fun and engaging experience, and Pocket Incoming is one that is attempting just that.
Pocket Incoming takes the tried and tested battle system of the Pokemon games, expands upon it, and turns it into a team-based fare. Battles happen between teams of five for a more engaging experience. With more than 100 creatures to collect, train, and evolve, you will need to utilize their strengths and be aware of their weakness during fights.
Another thing that’s different here is the presence of an auto-battle system, meaning you can set a specific action or strategy in place and watch it all unfold. You can also do dungeon raids to get the materials needed for evolving your creatures. The only thing worth noting is that there have been numerous reports of in-game cheating, which will hopefully be addressed as soon as possible.
For Pokemon fans
All in all, Pocket Incoming is an interesting RPG that fans of the Pokemon series will like. Its creatures will be familiar to many as is their evolutions, but the combat employs auto-battle mechanics, which makes sense and will be more accessible to a lot of players who play on the go. The reports of cheating are concerning, so they should be dealt with ASAP.
