About
Delve deep into the Metroidvania inspired world of Monster Sanctuary, explore the expansive lands and call upon your monsters to lend their aid in and out of combat! Use their unique skills to fly, ride and brute force your way through environmental puzzles and precise platforming! The world is yours to traverse as you see fit, are you ready to take on the Sanctuary?
Your quest begins with a choice of an ancient spectral familiar, a wistful monster who will guide your first steps into the sanctuary. They will be by your side as you catch your first of 111 monsters. From here it is up to you to hatch, collect, evolve and train monsters from across the Sanctuary! Each possesses unique abilities and a skill tree for you to customise as your team grows in strength.
Strategically order your attacks for maximum efficiency, stacking your attacks to deal devastating combos! Try out different team combinations and make use of synergies between your monsters. Encounter formidable foes, endurance challenges and train an unbeatable team!
Face off in a test of skill and ability in online player vs player! Gather and train monsters, max out their skill trees and take on friends and foes in an epic battle to have the last monsters standing!
Added with the latest update, you can enable and combine optional Randomizer, Bravery and Permadeath game modes, making every playthrough a fresh and different experience.

Platforming is easy but the fights can be hard.
really fun, a little confusing but videos greatly help! 9/10 will be playing again , giving a 9 because it seems there could be a few things added for ease but overall worth the buy
Very good
There is a a lot you can do for a monster to customize a build. Some reviews say it gets grindy at the end, but if you just git gud you can beat the boss with an under leveled team. I stopped for the last boss to grind like 3 lvls. I think it took like 30 minutes lol. So ya the combat system is pretty peak, I wanted to play the mulitplayer online but there was nobody there. For Monster Sanctuary 2 it would be nice if the player could shorten attack animations during a fighting by spamming a or something. And then sometimes I found myself spamming a while opening chests and end up closing the tab that shows me what I received. It would be nice if a opens the chest and x closes the tab or something to avoid this.
I love this game, but why my save file gone???
muito bom, o elemento de rpg no jogo faz me sinte nos rpg antigos q jogava
muito bom pokemon, aprenda no linux tive que usar scout em vez do proton pra rodar bem, fora isso, funciona perfeitamente
養成與探索,和解謎都非常有趣
pokemon is pokemon
That one turn less rule has to be one of the dumbest "balance" moves I ever seen in my life.
