Batomon Showdown brings its creature-collecting autobattler to mobile
The roguelike from berrymint launched on Steam in September and is now on iOS and Android, with asynchronous PvP so you can build teams at your own pace.
Batomon Showdown, a creature-collecting roguelike autobattler, is now on iOS and Android after launching on Steam on September 15, 2026. Pocket Gamer covered the mobile release on October 30. On the US App Store it is a paid download at $5.99, listed under publisher EKA Games, while berrymint developed the original PC version.
How it plays
The look borrows openly from classic 2D Pokemon games, but the structure does not. Instead of turn-based type matchups, you pick a trainer, draft Batomon and let fights play out automatically. The work happens between battles, where you assemble a team from Batomon, trainers, encounters, trinkets and held items and chase synergies between all of them.
Trainers matter as much as creatures. The Steam page describes bug-catchers, dragon-whisperers and chefs who can cook new types onto your Batomon, each opening a different route to a winning build. Levelling, abilities and items let any Batomon grow into a carry, and the design openly encourages breaking the game with overpowered combinations.
PvP without the pressure
Battles run against NPC trainers and other players. The PvP is asynchronous, so you face other people's saved teams rather than live opponents, with no timers on your decisions. That suits mobile well: you can draft a run on a bus ride and pick it up later without anyone waiting on you.
Pocket Gamer says the Steam release has been popular, with players already digging into ways to bend the rules for stronger teams. Moving that theorycrafting onto phones gives the community more time with it.
For SEA players
A paid game with no stamina system is a change from the free-to-play model that dominates mobile stores. The $5.99 figure is the US App Store price; local prices will differ by store. PC players can pick it up on Steam, where the price is listed in your local currency.
If you prefer turn-based monster battles with a story attached, Cassette Beasts is the closer comparison, and Pocket Gamer draws the same line between the two.
