Pokémon Overlord
Pokémon Overlord is a roguelike tactical battle game where you build 3v3 squads with front and back row positioning. Each Pokémon has 2 attack slots and 1 ability slot that you customize before each fight. Lower-rarity Pokémon gain stronger benefits from stat items, so investing in your favorites can make them tournament champions. Battle through story mode, challenge the League as any trainer you defeat, or test your skills in the 30-round Battle Frontier.
