Coromon Update 1.2.1 Is Out

Last year, I wrote an article for The Geekly Grind about indie monster-catching alternatives to the new Pokemon Game. One of those games was Coromon, a game that ended up being one of my favorite games of 2022. Work on it has continued since then, and this week saw a substantial update for the game released on Steam.

There’s a little bit of everything here. The story has been completely overhauled, PVP has been tweaked, and there are new mons, abilities, and items. There are also multiple new features. These include a Battledome, daily milestones, fashion options for trainers and mons alike, new game modes, and so much more. Right now definitely seems the optimal time to check out the game.

I am very curious and hopeful that these updates will come to the Nintendo Switch version soon, which is the copy I have.

See the full list of changes below.

We're thrilled to introduce the latest update for Coromon on Steam, version 1.2.1, packed with a slew of fantastic features and enhancements. Get ready to dive into an even more immersive Coromon experience!

New Daily Milestones Feature

We’ve added a Daily Milestone feature, which lets you earn rewards by completing small rotating tasks.
There are 4 Daily Milestones each day, one always being “Play Coromon”, while the other 3 tasks will be randomly selected. Whenever the player achieves a Daily Milestone, a blinking dot will appear in the top right of the screen.

Clicking on this indicator, or navigating via the Milestone option in the pause menu, will bring you to the daily milestone menu. Here you can see your progress for daily tasks, and collect any outstanding rewards. Complete all daily tasks seven days in a row for an extra weekly bonus!

New Battle Dome Feature

After completing the game, you can find a new building in Radiant Park. Visit the desk to start an infinite challenge, and see how far you can come!

There are three modes in the Battle Dome, each with 4 difficulties (easy, normal, hard, insane). The modes are Infinite Wild Coromon, Infinite Trainer Mode (3v3), and Infinite Titan Mode.

In each mode you can choose a team of 3 Coromon. You’ll receive a starting amount of Dome Tokens and will be transported to the Battle Dome room. Spend your Dome Tokens here wisely on useful upgrades to get that much needed advantage in battles. Can you earn all of the Dome Stars?
