Imagine living in an alternate world where your parents are inter-dimensional fugitives and your pet is actually a powerful fighting machine. That is what you will get to experience in Curio Quest, the latest in the long line of monster collection and battle games to come along in recent years. Find monsters that, despite being cute and cuddly, are very dangerous fighters that will add some muscle to your team. Here’s our guide on how you can build your own monster squad and pit them against the enemies that you will find along the game, as well as other players from all over the world.
Gameplay
Curio Quest is a monster collection and battle game where in players will be able to collect, upgrade, and form teams of monsters that they can use to battle opponents. Progressing in Story mode as well as in PvP battles will earn players resources that they can use to evolve and enhance monsters in order to make them stronger. Items such as boosts will also help improve your team, and skills as well as elemental affinities must be maintained, utilized, and taken advantage of properly so that the chances of winning would be increased.
Currency
Coins and gems are the two currencies available within Curio Quest. Coins are used for evolving monsters, as well as for purchasing basic ones at the shop. Coins can be earned by completing jobs as well as by winning tournaments in PVP mode. On the other hand, gems are considered as the premium currency within the game, and can be used to purchase premium monsters and energy, among other things. Gems and coins may also be acquired through various means, such as in the prize wheel or via in-app purchases.
Energy
Energy is required for players to participate in fights in Story Mode. Energy regenerates over time, but premium currency can also be used in order to refill it immediately. There are also other methods by which energy can be acquired, but these two are the most effective ones. Keep an eye out on your energy and maximize its use as you would other games that utilize the energy system in order to make the most out of the game.
Monsters
Players will be able to acquire different kinds of monsters within the game. Monsters have different kinds of attributes such as base stats, skills, and elemental affinities. The latter is one of the most important things that you would have to consider in order to win matches. This is because certain elements are strong against others while weak against specific ones.
Players can also maintain different types of skills which can be acquired and upgraded by using skill points earned while leveling up. Skills vary in damage abilities and effects, so make sure to equip those that will serve you best. Some skills have cooldown times as well as mana cost, so choose the right ones that best fit the situation as well as our personal strategies.
Players can bring up to three monsters with them in battle, and they can also switch between one or the others for as long as they still have remaining health. Players must knock out all the monsters of the opposing team in order to win, and they must also ensure that their teams are up for the challenge of stronger enemies ahead.
Monsters can be acquired in a variety of ways such as by exchanging coins or gems for them. Monsters may also be created in the lab for as long as players have already acquired the necessary items for them. Monsters can also be evolved and have their mastery improved for as long as requirements are met. These, along with experience, are the best ways to enhance your monsters’ abilities and skills.
Experience
Experience can be won in battle as well as by completing jobs. For experience won in battle, players can assign as to which monsters they would like the experience to be given to. Otherwise, experience earned will be divided equally among all monsters. Experience earned outside of battle can also be provided so that monsters can level up.
Leveling up will increase a monster’s base statistics and it will also provide you with skill points that you can then use to unlock and upgrade your monsters’ skills. Make sure to level up your favorite monsters so that they would be much more effective in battle.
Boosts
Boosts are special items that can be won as rewards or crafted in the lab, among other methods. Different types of boosts may be equipped in order to provide an edge for monsters in battle. Boosts come in different types, and having one equipped may spell the difference between victory and defeat. Make it a point to equip boosts to members of your team so that they would become a stronger unit.
PvP
Aside from story based battles, players can also choose to battle against each other. Each fight costs tickets, and matches will be at random. PvP tournaments last for specific periods, and those with the highest scores at the end of each event will be eligible to earn many rewards such as coins, gems, boosts, or even powerful monsters.
Others
Players can also take advantage of different content within the game in order to get free rewards. These include the prize wheel which provides players with free spins every 24 hours. Another is the daily login bonus which rewards players who consecutively play the game. Rewards within the game would include coins, gems, and even boosts. These are two of the easiest ways to earn resources that you can use to further boost your team’s formidability.
