It's an open world survival game where you wake up on the beach of a mysterious island and need to scavenge resouces, explore, build bases and tame monsters to fight for you. You send some of the caught monsters to work in your base, they generate resources which you use to make new equipment to fight and catch stronger pals, eventually reaching the point where you have a powerful team that can take on dungeons and bosses who you want to defeat for story reasons. I think the game's strong points are the base automation and the variety of pals.
It's also got co-op and 32 player public servers
Got a few hours in last night, quite fun and it very much is pokemon with guns, but at-least rather original for half the designs. So far its base building/exploration while training up legally distinct monsters, doing what everyone would ACTUALLY want to do in a pokemon game that gave you a weapon.
