14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

Sums Steam only; Nintendo publishes no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

とりあえずストーリークリアまでプレイ。 DQシリーズ、DQMシリーズまんべんなくプレイしており、使命感からとりあえず購入。 【難易度】4/5 そんなに難しくもなく簡単でもなく、程よい難易度かと。 スカウトもしやすく、配合でモンスターをたくさん作りたかったので、ストレスはなかった。 【ストーリー】2/5 DQ４の内の「ピサロ」という魔族側キャラクターの裏エピソードを追っているようなストーリ構成。全体的に暗め。 自分は、勇者やその仲間キャラの登場などありDQ4の本ストーリーに絡んでくる部分もあるので良い。 少年期のエピソードもありよかった。 悪い点 ・ストーリーが薄い。 そもそもそんなに濃いストーリーではないDQ4の蛇足というのもあるが、ストーリーを進めたいという気にはあまりなれない。ただただ各界のボスを倒すためにモンスターのランク上げとスキル強化を淡々と行う作業のような感じだった。 ・目新しさがない ６魔界の下級、中級、上級に順番に行くだけなので、景色の目新しさ見たいなものが欠けていた。 建物の内装や外観、フィールドの木、草、水などにグラフィックのこだわりを感じられない。 ・モンスター数が少ない ストーリーとは直接関係ないかもしれないが、モンスターを配合し、ボスを攻略するという特性上あげさせていただく。 G～Aはある程度種類がいるが、Sランクはもっといてもいいと思う。（G～Aが十分という意味ではない） Xランクに関しては７匹。少なすぎる。中にはXランクを使ってXランクを配合するというモンスターもいるので、そのようにするなら少なくともXランクは２０種類ほど欲しかった。 まとめ 2/5 DQ４をプレイ済みの自分からすると理解度がそこそこあるのでプレイできた。 モンスターズというパッケージからは想像できないほどのモンスターの種類の少なさ、グラフィックの拙さ、ストーリーの薄さもあり、正直クリア後までやりたいと思わなかった。 ほかの人には勧めたいとは残念ながら思えなかった。 また、モンスターを配合して、強いモンスターを作りたいという人には向かないゲーム。

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Aug 31: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1/day in the week to Aug 5 → 2.71/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

まあ色々あるが面白いっちゃ面白い 良くも悪くも令和のゲームとは思えない仕様 ちゃんと育成しないとボスに勝てない程度にはやりごたえがあってラスボスは対策無しで雑なプレイするとレベル１００でも犠牲者が出る程度 とりあえずキングスライム目指してそっからスキル引き継いで好きなモンスター揃えて可能ならゆうきに乗り換えてやっとけばお手軽攻略プレイも出来る 俗に言う４体配合が基本ノーヒント（まあ今時攻略みりゃいいだけだが ストーリーはまあまあツッコミどころあり ヒロイン助けたら何でもしますから連れて行ってくださいって言ってくる割にドラクエ恒例のはいと答えるまで終わらない会話をふざけていいえ選ぶとかなり口答えしてくる 親友ポジの仲間はピサロがしゃべらないのもあってどこで友情が芽生えたのかよくわからないし当初から目的が変わってないのに唐突に裏切られた感出しながらキレてくるしそもそもお前自分の目的のためにかなり強引についてきたし手段が窃盗だったりするし 肉親は肉親で質問に答えたらお前の心はそうは言っていないと勝手に答えを決めてくる と言うかドラクエ恒例とはいえいくら何でもはいと答えるまで終わらない会話が多すぎる
Bien moins bon que les épisodes précédents ! l'histoire est une catastrophe, les différents protagonistes sont insupportables, la boucle de gameplay est vite pesante et ne donne pas envie de s'engager jusqu'au bout. Dommage.
Lots of freedom to train and synthesise but fixed story, bit like pokemon as in the ol'days 7/10.
If you have played DWM this will be fun and easy to pickup
ending ein bisschen unsatesfying und spiel im vergleich zu vorgängern der reihe nen bisschen samey aber trotzdem fun
Jeu bon dans l'ensemble. Graphiquement mid mais c'est a cause de la sortie switch, scénario correct. Mais alors le Taupidum quel HORREUR, le fait de ne pas pouvoir choisir la famille de monstre le rend juste cauchemardesque.
This is a flawed game, and I want to recognise that at the start even though I'm rating it positively. The story parallels Dragon Quest IV(specifically the DS version) for a large portion of the game, and if you are a fan of the series you will recognise many moments from that game. You will also notice when it deviates. The story and dialogue in this game are passable, but nothing to write home about. There are some frustrating interactions, and a few loose ends that are never tied up. Regardless, it was still enough to make progression feel somewhat natural. There is an extra area and a few extra boss fights after the main game ending, but everything beyond that is a bit open ended. There's nothing to note whether you have actually done everything there is to do, outside of checking if you have every monster. The combat and traversal are pretty basic, and never really evolve as the game progresses. This is mostly ok until you have your party ranked and levelled, and all areas unlocked. There is no expedited traversal mechanic outside of fast travel, and while this is helpful for quickly reaching certain areas, it did become a bit tedious late game trying to reach areas with no zoom points. While a lot of this may sound like I didn't like this game, that is not the case. I actually really enjoyed this. Despite its many flaws, it was a fun experience, and as a long time Dragon Quest fan it would have been hard not to find something about this game to enjoy. If you are not already a Dragon Quest fan, and you just want to capture and fight monsters, you could do worse than this game.
This franchise has a special place in my heart so I am probably biased. A big fan of the original Game Boy/Color Dragon Warrior Monsters games. I replayed them multiple times. The best part is the breeding/synthesis. Knowing that certain combos of monsters create special, new monsters that can only be put together that way is the whole allure of the game. The story here is very blah, but I got this game on sale for $10, and almost bought it when it came out for $40 but was deterred by all the negative reviews of it on Steam as compared to Switch. For $10, this game is a borderline must buy if you like the genre.
