Further Kickstarterdeveloper Greg Chazotte shared more information about his upcoming monster-taming RPG Cucumber. From a visual standpoint, it’s clear that the game is taking a lot of notes from Pokemon and Earthboundmaking it ideal for those fanbases, but there are some additional ideas that help separate it from those franchises.

In addition to the Halloween aesthetic, Cucumber is differentiating itself from Pokemon increasing the scale of the combat system. Battles will be 4v4, requiring trainers to strategize accordingly with their team composition while also planning their moves to ensure all party members are covered, especially against some of the more challenging opponents. Another key point that Chazotte mentions in the game’s review is the removal of “filling“content that is often a problem in older RPGs; Cucumber aims to be a streamlined experience, devoid of unnecessary fuss and fuss.
