Evaluation

Yarimono launched on August 30, 2024 and shipped two DLC packs: DLC 1 on August 30, 2024 (alongside the base game), and DLC 2 on June 18, 2025. Both DLC packs are marked as released on the store, and no additional DLC has been listed or announced for this title. Developer news posts from this game's page since the DLC 2 release have been entirely focused on promoting other unrelated titles from the same publisher (072 Project), with no announcements of further content for Yarimono itself. A May 2025 bug fix post addressed a save compatibility issue introduced by an April 17, 2025 update, which appears to have been a patch bundled with or preceding DLC 2. The developer has made no statements indicating additional content is planned for Yarimono, and the release of DLC 2 in June 2025 followed by complete silence on this title through June 2026 suggests the content cycle is complete.

About this game

Over 150 unique monsters! A massive RPG with an abundance of rich content.

Train your monster with the goal of becoming the champion!

Only the main character's partner possesses the cheat move called "Cheat Tackle".

It ensures a guaranteed first strike and a one-hit kill.

In the easy mode, you can even use it endlessly!

In this world, there exists mystical creatures known as "Yarimon".

Known as the loner protagonist with the weakest Yarimon... until now, that is.

In a surprising turn of events, the protagonist's Yarimon partner learned a godly-powerful move with a power level of 800,000 called the "Cheat Tackle".

With this, the protagonist's world completely changed, as this move will one-shot any opponent in battle (though it is only usable once per battle).

Of course, it would be foolish to believe that one can become the champion with just a single move. Therefore, a trainer must continue to hone their skills and diversify their strategies.

With that said, defeating my childhood friend for the first time is already a crazy accomplishment.

I can finally get back some of the money I lost to her...

Afterwards, I set out on an adventure after my childhood friend told me she was going on a journey and pressured me to do the same.

As I am adventuring, I slowly unravel the secret of this world.

This is when I felt like my journey had really begun.

Aim to complete the Yarimon Encyclopedia (Yaridex)!!

Monster-taming RPG

Collect a variety of Yarimon and strive relentlessly towards the championship!

Gain EXP by battling either wild Yarimon or trainers.

With the advent of EXP shards, you will also be able to freely allocate EXP to your favorite Yarimon!

Uncover the truth and secrets that are hidden within this world!

Explore the secrets hidden in this world, gradually unveiling it's truth!
