Monster Sanctuary: Action-RPG with Deep Customization and Sales
Monster Sanctuary is an action-RPG featuring exploration and turn-based combat. Players can collect over 100 different monsters to form teams of three, using their diverse abilities to navigate the environment and win battles.
The game's core loop revolves around collecting monsters and managing turn-based command battles. Defeating wild monsters provides a chance to recruit them into your three-member team. Success in combat depends heavily on creating synergies between monsters and building combos to increase damage.
Monsters are essential for exploration. Flying monsters allow access to high areas, while those with grappling abilities can reach distant platforms. They can also assist with underwater movement or breaking hidden walls, making the discovery of new areas a key part of the gameplay.
The progression system offers extensive customization through individual skill trees. Players can use 'Shifts'—Light or Dark forms—to alter stats and gain unique passive skills. Additionally, monsters can be enhanced through equipment, accessories, and food found throughout the world.
Currently, Monster Sanctuary is available on Steam and Nintendo Switch at a 75% discount, priced at 512 yen.
