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
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.

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.

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.
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。
Honestly this is the best creature collecting game I have played since I was a kid.
Not bad but major difficulty spikes. game gets too frustrating tbh
The perfect mix of Metroidvania and Monster Tamer. A huge world to explore and enough monsters to try out all kinds of strategies (yes, even in PvP). Runs great on the deck.
Mundane, mundane, Mundanest one. Designs are mundane, NPCs are mundane, Story is mundane. A cat with sword, A bird, A slime(Just a slime), A frog, A sprout thingy being popular 30 years ago(Without Rearrange), A bug. Thought this is "THAT" one, pouring all budget into game elements? No, Putting Unique skill tree for EVERY monsters, and zis and zat, budgets gone watered thin. And monsters. Kill its mother, Crack open and use monster as simple tool. Give it some weapons that they even don't have hands to use. And feed it some apples! Done. Its state in game is worse, even worse than in Cassette Beasts. Not doing anything to get away from Pokemon's sin. Just... Plain, Simple, Mundane.
Dropped hundreds of hours into this, a game that's truly greater than the sum of its parts. From its unique battle mechanics and solid designs Monster Sanctuary is both a fully fleshed out single player metroidvania style rpg and also a thriving battle community (though you'll need to join a discord) and its these elements that keep me coming back time and time again.
跑图战斗解谜太磨叽了,乐趣在宠物收集和技能组合,不如做成暗黑地牢那样来的便利
