Moonrise is Kabam's take on monster catching, collecting, and battling, the kind you might see in Pokemon or, a little closer to home on iOS, in Micromon.

Unlike the majority of the games in the genre, it's fully 3D, has lots of online multiplayer, and the character design is strong too. There are a few technical issues that, at the moment, detract significantly from the otherwise solid gameplay, which you'll see in the video above.

Moonrise is free-to-play and currently in soft-launch, it's expected to be released sometime in 2015.
