LumenTale: Memories of Trey

9/10

Lumentale: Memories of Trey is a heavy hitter of a creature-collector, doing everything fans love about the genre well and even expanding on core mechanics in its own ways. It will easily become a new favorite for fans of the genre, and I think it even has ground to compete against franchise titans.

Lumentale: Memories of Trey is a wonderful blend of the fresh and the familiar that offers a fully fleshed-out experience on both the RPG and the creature-collector fronts. I think it is a game that will appeal to and satisfy new, returning, and veteran players of the genre, which is a feat unto itself. With stellar visuals, an excellent soundtrack, loads of content, and a nearly flawless combat system, this is a game you want to have in your collection. With a few tweaks, I firmly believe that Lumentale: Memories of Trey has the potential to become one of the best, like only a few have ever b...

Ultimately, LumenTale: Memories of Trey is a fascinating and occasionally frustrating experiment. It represents a bold new evolutionary branch for monster-collecting RPGs. Time will tell whether this specific branch can survive the harsh ecosystem of the genre, but its successful mutations give it some strong fitness factors. A highly commendable first outing for Beehive Studios.

With a great soundtrack, and a snappy battle system, LumenTale: Memories of Trey excels as being one of the better Pokémon style games, even if a few edges are rough and a true lack of originality hovers over the experience. Still, if you're looking for this type of game, do to Pokémon feeling a bit

Our game of the day, Lumen Tale: Memories of Trey, tells you half the plot in the title (help Trey recover his memories). What it doesn’t tell you is that this game is a significant nod to the Pokémon franchise, and that’s not a bad thing.Read More

A creature collector needs to do a lot to stand out and Beehive Studios' LumenTale: Memories of Trey has plenty of positive qualities. However, can it stand out amongst its peers with some regrettably serious flaws attached?

Lumentale is frustrating because I feel like there is a ton of potential here. This is clearly made with a lot of love for the genre, and there are interesting ideas. I want to love this game. But there are so many glaring flaws in how it’s constructed that, if I wasn’t reviewing this game, those would have been enough for me to exit out right then and there. I could easily see a sequel or similar title by this developer being one of my favorite games, but with all the issues this ended up being a rough experience. I’m going to keep trying to play more of this, and since I didn’t come…

LumenTale: Memories of Trey is among the best creature collector games we've gotten in years. That doesn't stop the game from feeling like it's collapsing under the pressure of just how different it's trying to be. Whether it's bug issues or performance issues, the game just reaches a point where it feels like work to play. There are a lot of genuinely great ideas here, and hopefully, things can get ironed out to be an experience that everyone on any platform can enjoy. If you enjoy creature collector games and want one that's going to be hours upon hours of learning and fun, then this one is ...
