• Start with an ancient spectral familiar who will guide you in the first parts of your journey.
• Journey across the world to hatch, collect and train monsters.
• Every monster that you collect will come with unique abilities and skill trees.
• Player versus player is also available where you face off with another player and test your monster’s abilities. The last monster standing wins.

Reviews

An expansive and content-packed game, Monster Sanctuary would be easy to criticise as a grind if we didn’t find that said grinding was never really necessary to enjoy it. It’s a difficult one to review because a lot of what this reviewer personally found a little boring is exactly what’s going to appeal to its core audience of number-crunching statisticians.

I like Monster Sanctuary for what it tries to accomplish, I just wish I liked the execution as much as the concept. I could see the threads of its attempt weaving into a better cohesive whole, but instead each different ingredient feels incomplete or misses the mark of what makes each genre it pulls from so compelling. There’s still fun to be had if setting expectations right and wanting a unique twist that is no muss, no fuss, but I was hoping for more that Monster Sanctuary wasn’t quite there to give.
