Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
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.

About

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!

别问，问就是好玩。
The best "pokemon" style game I've played. Combat is a 3v3 monster fight, where your groups take turn in using abilities. You can manually choose the order and targets. I feel like this is more interesting compared to the more common 1v1 setup as you have more direct interaction between support monsters, buffers, damage dealers, "tanks", etc. The buff/debuff system is straightforward, and I really like how it plays with the monster talent trees. When choosing your setup, you usually want to find good synergies between your monsters so you can get as many different buffs as possible, and don't have too many overlapping things as they'd go to waste. World/level design is pretty standard metroidvania, but it does its job. As you progress you'll unlock stuff like double jump, or monster abilities that allow you to get into places where you couldn't get earlier.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 20: 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.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 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.

Con las pocas horas que llevo en el juego, sin necesidad de terminarlo, puedo decir que es un autentico juegazo. Un metroidvania bastante original.
Good game
Affreux, pas amusant
It definitely has some crunchiness to it, and I don't think the monster designs are especially wonderful or anything, but I really appreciate its gameplay. Everything feels concise, and is overall really really fun to play. I don't think it's groundbreaking, but it's working wonderfully off of what it's based on.
an unexpected gem. i got this cheap and just kinda started playing then forever later, I am struggling to put it down. its addictive, easy to get into, and just a lot of fun. Everything is viable which makes it a lot of fun. I really hope they make a MS 2 and expand even more
It's Pokemon, but with Metroidvania world traversal. Team synergy is simple and you can make pretty much any team comp work. Maybe a little too easy? Or 3 Blob (Normal, Ice, Rainbow) is just that strong. Carried the whole game, including every Legendary statue.
挺好玩的，就是跳跳乐让人挺恼火
i haven't finshed the game just yet but i dont need to to know this game is GOOD its like pokemon well not reaily but its like the only thing i can kind of compare it has a very different battle style and the puzzles are quite fun this is one of the only creature collecters i'v found that is actually worth playing i was a bit unsure weather to get it cos it's a 2d platform but i was pleasantly surprised when i found that it being 2d actually makes it alot more fun in how you have to do the puzzles and just the way the game operates in general also not gonna lie i love all the different kinds of creatures theres actually way more then i expected there to be so hell ya if your looking for a longer creature collecter with lots of different kinds of creatures then i totally recommend this one
