Invizimals

About

Invizimals lets you hunt hidden creatures through your PSP or Vita camera. Use the device's lens to scan real-world environments and trap invisible monsters, then train them for turn-based battles. Each creature has distinct abilities requiring tactical switches during fights. Between combat, solve puzzles to unlock new areas and collect parts to build custom weapons. The single player campaign focuses on cataloging species while optional multiplayer modes let you trade or battle with others wirelessly. The game's augmented reality gimmick felt fresh in 2009 though technical limits kept it from fully realizing its potential. Community reviews note the creature designs and hybrid gameplay mix stand out but campaign pacing drags in later acts. Co-op play and random encounters help maintain longevity. With 120+ creatures to find and cross-platform play between PSP and Vita, it rewards persistence even if the AR targeting can be finicky.
