Prices

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
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!

Reviews
I couldn't recommend this game more. It's one of the very few games I've ever played where I was sad to know that the end was coming up. Granted, there's still post-game content and plenty of replay value, but this was an experience I would love to have for the first time again. Even the monsters that look weak or unremarkable can be amazing on the right team and there are countless synergies to explore. The music is great, the designs are great, and accessing new areas and chests feels rewarding enough that it never gets old. Play it play it play it.
Maybe not for everybody but i think everyone should try it; its very engaging, replayable and fun with a 130 or so monsters to hatch. A very unique take on the turn based combat with things like 3 monsters out (unlike most) at once with each attack building up a combo multiplier to increase damage and even actually interesting debuff and buff mechanics that feel more established then most games like ti such as coromon or pokemon. Original monster designs with intersting skill trees and lots of different combinations for battle, you should give it a try

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
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 18: 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 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 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.

Honestly this is the best creature collecting game I have played since I was a kid.
Eines der besten Spiele, die ich je gezockt habe. 👍
脑溢血设计的平台跳跃,还有无意义的解密,少的可怜的进化数量,毫无意义的用怪兽技能特意卡你路线,只能看不能玩,后期也不一定能想起来,还有低能的动态等级设置。 到底是谁想在类宝可梦游戏里面玩这些,我来就是玩捕捉养成的,结果大部分时间浪费在这些地方,几个地图来来回回跑,还有怪物名字一但确定再也无法更改,背包ui操作也特别麻烦。
살면서 했던 게임 중에 한 손가락에 꼽을 정도로 재미가 어마어마하다. 포켓몬 본가 못하겠어서 알아보다가 발견한 게임인데 왜 더 일찍 찾지 못했을까.. 코로몬, 넥소몬 그리고 몬스터 생츄어리 요즘 이 3개의 게임 덕분에 하루하루가 너무 즐겁고 행복해!
I bounced off this game once or twice but kept ocming back and I'm so glad it did. This game is extremely good once you start getting into it. The combat and monsters are phenomenal, the light/dark system is extremely good and makes crafting teams way more interesting. My largest complaint is that there's a few occasions where I felt the metroidvania level design was a little weak and the opening takes a little to get going. That's like it. For the price this goes for, its excellent.
What an amazing little creature collector! This game has simple mechanics to start out, but evolves to have all the depth you could really want with talent trees, equipment, and shiny variants for each monster. The art + music are great, the combat feels smooth and has a good level of difficulty, and its a very satisfying game to 100% without having any super BS achievements. Highly, highly recommend!
性价比不错,但我的喜好是"1小时爽玩>10小时坐牢",所以还是点了不推荐 + 可以加速,刷战斗很快 + 阵容随时切换,没有容量限制 + 3v3对战,有多种搭配和强化方式 + 动作流畅,世界树和雪山栈桥挺美 - 重复繁多的跳跳乐 - 纯粹拖时长、毫无设计感的解密和迷宫,特别是森林三色迷宫,思路就是反复按,孩子们这不好玩 - 意义不明又枯燥的地图设计,难拿的宝箱奖励稀少,几乎没有柳暗花明又一村的新鲜感 - 技能空间较贫乏
This is the greatest monster team building game ever made. This is not hyperbole, this is fact.
