>>37016249SMT has never been multiplayer, nobody plays it for that.
In DQM even a slime can be competitive now
You grind of course but in the post game with the metal king maps you can level up to 99 up to 8 monsters at the same time in like 30 minutes and you need to make a lot of choices since you decide what skill trees to give to each monster, and some skill trees have negative traits which can complement or not the traits monsters naturally have already
But the approach is completely different and its more about hitting one button and let your monsters fight 8tons of ways to tweak their AI now though) than making decisions on specific moves, its different enough that it offers something pokemon doesnt, which is great
