ADORE is an intriguing “hands-off” action-RPG from Brazilian developer Cadabra Games. The focus is on capturing, upgrading, and synergising creatures that function as your attack abilities – a feat you’ll achieve by grinding procedurally-generated maps for said creatures and a myriad of upgrade resources. With real-time, isometric combat exclusively using summons, it feels novel at first, but progression begins to feel repetitive, unrewarding, and even frustrating at times.
0:00 - Intro 0:33 - A novel combat system with tons of mechanical depth 3:04 - Increasingly grindy progression with added frustration 4:31 - Easy to like, harder to adore 5:02 - Score
