Dec. 2024

One of the best Monster/Creature Battling Games out RN. Difficulty is pretty good overall, some points can be decently Challenging. There is only 111 monsters, but the amount of variety you can make a team with is honestly insane, ALL monsters are viable, which is a Big Plus IMO. If you like Creature Collecting/Pokemon I would HIGHLY recommend this.

Sept. 2024

Such a good game. Easily worth the full price imo. The team building and exploring are where it's at for me. Story is kinda mid but better than what you find in certain other popular monster collector games. The entire game seems designed around maximum fun with minimal hassle. There's no carry capacity, storage limits, no need to run back and heal, and yet somehow it remains challenging enough to reward putting effort into your strategies and gear setups.

July 2024

Its such a pity because I know I would of absolutely loved playing this as a kid. The premise is so simple yet unique, tame monsters, use them to battle other monsters. collect them when you win and train them to get stronger, gotta catch em all , why didn't anyone think of this before ? Fortunately I'm still a child trapped in a 40ish year old body so its not really an issue enjoying this much more then I probably should.

April 2024

This is one of my all-time favourite games. The gameplay is so slick and streamlined, especially with the option to speed up battles. The battle system seems simple on the surface — there are only five elements, for example — but gradually reveals its complexity by introducing monsters with new mechanics. Thanks to the non-linearity, the fact that nearly every monster is viable, and the alternate game modes, it has lots of replay value. The regular Keeper Duel theme slaps.

March 2024

I love this game to death. There's always stuff going on, new lore to learn and things to see. Discovering new parts of the map is so exciting and never gets old. Also, kudos to all the artists, including the ones designing the Monster Journal. I could look at them for hours. Monster Sanctuary is a game with good replay value and always feels like a warm blanket of comfort, yet a thrill of learning and discovering something new every time. I strongly recommend Monster Sanctuary to anyone who loves a good fantasy game with an excellent soundtrack, and fights that are challenging, but fair and strategy-focused rather than tied into the player's dexterity and reflex (nothing wrong with that, of course). I am still in awe of all the pixelart and how pretty and readable it all is to the eye. Fantastic job! Thank you for a wonderful game.
