Hello. Bonjour. Olá. 你好. Minimon Demo Update!!

Hello. Bonjour. Olá. 你好.

Minimon now speaks four languages.

It's been a little while since Next Fest, and we've been busy. This is the largest update the demo has ever had — a whole new way to play combat, a long list of fixes and polish, and for a lot of you, the game in your own language for the first time.

🌍 Minimon Now Speaks Your Language

Minimon is now fully playable in English, French, Brazilian Portuguese and Simplified Chinese.

• Every menu, tooltip, ability, item and quest line has been translated

• The game picks your language automatically from your Steam settings

• Prefer something else? Switch any time from the Settings menu

Minimon species names stay in English for now, we wanted their names to be the same thing you'd shout across a room no matter where you're playing from. If you spot a line that reads oddly in your language, please tell us. We read everything in the Discussions, and this is exactly the kind of feedback we can act on quickly.

⚡ Active Abilities - Get Your Hands Dirty

Minimon has always been about watching a plan come together. Now you get to reach in and change it mid-fight.

• Equip up to 3 Active Abilities and cast them yourself during combat

• 16 abilities to find — fire, ice, healing, knockback, shadow, roots, and more

• Unlocked as rewards for clearing Paths

• Swap your loadout freely between runs

Your team still fights on its own. But when the fight turns, you're no longer just a spectator.

🌦️ Weather

A rotating weather mission now sits on the Adventure Board. Clear it and the skies change across the whole game - rain, snow, fog, wind, thunder, sunshine or falling leaves. Every Minimon of the matching element hits harder for a while. Don't like the forecast? Pay a little gold and reroll it.

🔨 The Adventure Forge

The Adventure Board used to show you everything at once. Now it's a rotating selection that grows as you invest in it.

• Spend Soul Shards to raise your Forge tier

• Higher tiers mean more board slots and a deeper pool of adventures to draw from

• Complete an adventure and something new rotates in to replace it

• Run more missions at the same time as you climb

📖 Every Minimon Learns Its Own Way

Minimon in your roster now learn abilities from their own species' learnset, at their own levels - rather than drawing from a shared pool. Two Minimon of the same element can now grow into genuinely different fighters. We've also added 12 new abilities for your Minimon to learn, each with new visual effects and sounds.

🎯 Capturing, Improved

• Up to 5 different Minimon can now be captured in a single mission

• The camera now frames the moment you catch something

• Give your Minimon custom names

✨ Quality of Life

• Tooltips rebuilt from scratch — cleaner, better organized, and they actually fit now

• Hold Shift over a tooltip to see what any keyword means

• Equipped items now have tooltips of their own

• The Codex has been rebuilt as a proper species reference

• The Upgrades screen is now a compact stat grid you can actually read

• Click a party portrait to jump straight to editing that Minimon

• Loot flies to your inventory when you claim it

• Party portraits grey out when a Minimon goes down

• Your wave progress now shows the total, not just the current number

• Consistent scrollbars throughout

⚔️ Combat Feel

• Less clumping. They spread out and hold their spacing while fighting

• Units no longer get stuck in or pushed through arena walls

• Fixed the jitter units had while attacking

• Your team now waits at the edge of the screen for stragglers instead of running ahead

• Squads can now be made up of a mix of different Minimon

🔊 Sound

A major audio pass across the whole game — new impact and landing sounds for individual Minimon, new ability effects, and a great deal more texture in menus and combat.

⚖️ Balance

• Full rebalance pass across every Path. Wave composition, gold, and XP

• Armor, health, XP value and move speed retuned across the entire roster

• Several Minimon had their elemental types and sizes adjusted

🐛 Fixes

• Fixed units occasionally spawning with no abilities at all : they'd stand there and do nothing

• Fixed bosses using abilities they were never meant to have

• Fixed newly unlocked abilities not being equipped on level up

• Fixed the same item being equipped by more than one Minimon

• Fixed items not being returned when a Minimon leaves your roster

• Fixed +Move Speed bonuses having no effect

• Fixed backgrounds drifting instead of staying put

• Fixed the evolution animation playing on the wrong screens

• Various menu, tooltip and progression fixes throughout

Thank you

The demo has come a long way since Next Fest, and a lot of what's in this patch came straight out of your feedback. Keep it coming! Wishlist Minimon if you haven't, and we'll see you in the next one.
