Any game that lets you adopt a rock and level it to 60 gets a point from us. Behind the cute wrapper sits a surprisingly serious RPG. The downside: few people play it so far, and PvP without people feels a bit lonely.
It starts like a classic Tamagotchi: you pick a pet. A dragon, a panda, a capybara, the usual cat or dog, or the secret Rock, and yes, the rock is a real option. Then you care for it and level it up, all the way to 60.
Then it turns out Tamagochi Game has grown into a full RPG. There are three story chapters, two world bosses, a PvP arena, a fortress with raids, guilds with wars and castle upgrades, an auction, upgrades up to +15, three mini-games and seasonal events. That's a lot for a bot you play by texting.
Our favorite part is the adventures: 30 minutes, 2 hours or 8 hours. Send your pet off, go do something else, come back later. It suits people who like checking in rather than grinding nonstop.
No mini app here, just text and buttons in the bot conversation. Everything is in English and there's a lot to read. Starting costs nothing, and you can pay Telegram Stars for in-game purchases if you want. With so few players around, the arena and guilds can feel quiet.
Open the bot, pick a pet and send it on its first adventure.
