What is Yarimono?

A single-player, pixel-art RPG set in a world of creatures called Yarimon. You collect and train them, battle wild creatures and other trainers in turn-based fights, and pursue a championship after your once-weak partner learns a move that can defeat an opponent in one hit.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy collecting creatures and filling an in-game encyclopedia
  • +you like choosing between tactical battles and easier wins

Not for you if...

  • you want real-time combat instead of turn-based monster battles
  • you prefer games without sexual themes

What players say

87% of 4,205 reviews are positive · 79% of 34 in the last 30 days

Players praise the monster battles and story, and some appreciate being able to avoid the one-hit move for a challenge. The most common complaint is that adult scenes require a separate patch, which players report can be difficult to download or install.
