Batomon Showdown

Batomon Showdown is a team-building game centred on creatures called Batomon. Players put together a team by combining Batomon with trainers, encounters, trinkets and items, with the aim of finding synergies and combos between team members. Progression is framed around defeating other players on the way to becoming a champion.

Battles take place through asynchronous multiplayer, where players face teams that other players have created. There are no timers on decisions, so matches can be played at whatever pace the player chooses. A team built by one player can in turn be encountered and challenged by others.

Each Batomon can be developed through a system of abilities, trinkets and items, and the developer states that any Batomon can be built into a strong team member. Players also select from a range of trainers, each with their own abilities that affect play. Examples given include bug-catchers, dragon-whisperers and chefs who can add new types to a player’s Batomon.
