![]() Mini Mortys, Stray-Cat Mortys, Evil Rabbit Mortys - all of them come complete with their own set of abilities and such, and capturing them to find a well-rounded team was a ton of fun. Think of it like the Elite Four, except in this case, there are six Ricks.Įarly on, jumping into each zone was a rush, and I couldn’t wait to see what types of Mortys and Ricks awaited me. Of course there’s a time-gating catch, as the player will need to earn badges (ha) to unlock each subsequent Rick fight. To earn it back Rick has to prove himself to a council of Ricks - all of whom have their own Mortys to do battle with. In terms of the flow, the gist is that our duo is stuck in a hub world in an alternate dimension, with their portal gun confiscated. Peppered in alongside of the core campaign is a series of sidequests as well (basically item fetch quests), coupled with a rather deep crafting system. The hub is well designed and easy to get around, with a square-like layout and plenty of helpful shops. I wish the d-pad were a bit more adaptive (it’s basically tethered to one part of the screen), but it’s really easy to select each battle and menu option with just a quick tap that I don’t really pine for a proper tactile control method. You know what though? It all actually works, even on the mobile platform. Hell there’s even a bank and Pokémon Morty Center (though in the case of Pocket, the former also has an SMT-like character combination feature). Pocket does feature “types,” but instead of elemental themes it follows the bite-sized rock, paper, scissors style, which predictably counter each other. ![]() Attacks even have AP, and you can capture wild Mortys with a Pokéball Manipulation Chip - I mean, they aren’t even necessarily trying to be funny about it. Presentation-wise it gets the job done, as each type of Morty (read: Pokémon) is fairly unique, and although there aren’t full voiceovers and cutscenes, there are some original quips by way of Justin Roiland, who voices both Rick and Morty.Īs a clone, it features an old school turn-based RPG style battle system (with options for attack, item, switch, and run). No, I don’t mean that it’s a cute parody with subtle references and mechanical influences - I mean it’s literally a Pokémon game with Rick & Morty‘s world injected in. There’s no beating around the bush here, this is a complete and utter Pokémon clone. The show’s first real game, Pocket Mortys, isn’t a must-play for everyone out there, but if you appreciate the show it’s worth a shot. There’s something about the show’s sick sense of humor that really appeals to me, not to mention the great duo at its helm. I only started watching Rick & Morty halfway into the second season several months back, but after catching the first few episodes, I immediately burned through all of it.
