Monster Tribe

The devs lit sold this game, at this point its like a stardew pokemon game with chunky animations and bugs (since the start theres a bug near a wall which causes you to restart ALL THE PROLOGUE). Not recommended buy Monster tribe and stardew valley.

Played a bit under an hour after the game crashed. Lost most of game time due to no autosave or regular save info? Decent concept for the game, confusing and some actions don't always work. Dev has not been active in fixing things from almost 2 years. Refunding, not going to bother with this.

This game may look like a pokemon clone but it really isn't. It plays like an adventure game that has evolution components, puzzles, and some grinding that adds the RPG element. The story isn't linear and allows you to explore a lot. The music is good and the battle system feels a bit like a tactical RPG. The game in it's current state does have bugs and I've had 3 crashes in 10 hours. It's cheap and has a ton of content though so it's a definite recommend for me.

Muy poco pulido, se nota que el desarrolador lo dejó abandonado...

P0g

help, i cant save this game :c its fun tho but id love to not have to restart

Monster Tribe is an ambitious indie RPG developed and published by Boundless Games that attempts to merge creature collection, tactical turn-based combat, exploration, and light survival mechanics into a single cohesive experience. Set on the mysterious island of Akama, the game introduces a world that once thrived alongside magical creatures known as Ateyan, only to be left in ruin after a catastrophic event tied to a destructive force called the Rift. Players take on the role of a sage capable of bonding with these creatures, venturing into a broken land to uncover its history, restore balance, and rebuild a fragile connection between humanity and the monsters that once defined the island’s ecosystem. At its core, Monster Tribe revolves around exploration and discovery. Akama is divided into multiple biomes, each offering different resources, enemy types, and Ateyan to encounter and collect. Movement through the world is steady and deliberate, with an emphasis on gathering materials such as plants, minerals, and relics that feed directly into progression systems. These resources are used to upgrade gear, improve tribe facilities, and unlock new possibilities for the creatures under your care. While the gathering mechanics are simple, they form the backbone of the game’s pacing, encouraging players to methodically explore every corner of the map rather than rushing through objectives. Combat shifts the experience into a tactical, grid-based format where up to four Ateyan face off against hostile creatures and environmental threats. Positioning, turn order, and skill usage all play important roles, rewarding players who take time to understand synergies between their monsters. Each Ateyan has distinct abilities and growth paths, allowing for varied team compositions and strategies. As creatures level up, players can shape their development through upgrades and mutations, unlocking alternate forms that modify stats and abilities. This system adds a layer of customization that can feel rewarding, especially when a carefully built team begins to perform efficiently in tougher encounters. Narratively, Monster Tribe presents a dense and lore-heavy world. The history of Akama, the disappearance of the Ateyan, and the origins of the Rift are conveyed through dialogue, environmental clues, and encounters with remnants of past civilizations. The story aims for a thoughtful, almost somber tone, emphasizing loss, decay, and the slow process of restoration. While the worldbuilding is rich on paper, the delivery can feel uneven. Large blocks of text and frequent exposition sometimes interrupt the flow of gameplay, making it difficult for some players to stay fully engaged with the story while managing exploration and combat systems. The game’s presentation reflects its indie roots, combining stylized environments with functional but occasionally cluttered interfaces. Visual design succeeds in differentiating biomes and creature types, though readability can suffer during busy combat encounters or menu navigation. Performance and polish have been points of contention among players, with reports of bugs, balance inconsistencies, and pacing issues affecting overall enjoyment. These rough edges can undermine the game’s more compelling ideas, especially for players expecting a smoother or more refined experience. Despite these issues, Monster Tribe has moments where its systems come together effectively. Building a team of Ateyan that complements your playstyle, uncovering new regions of Akama, and gradually pushing back against the influence of the Rift can feel genuinely satisfying. The game’s mixed reception largely stems from the gap between its strong conceptual foundation and its uneven execution. Players who enjoy tactical RPGs, creature collection, and slower-paced exploration may find plenty to appreciate, particularly if they are patient with repetition and technical shortcomings. In the end, Monster Tribe is a game defined by its ambition. It strives to offer depth, strategy, and a meaningful world, but does not always fully realize those goals. For players willing to engage with its systems, overlook rough spots, and invest time in learning its rhythms, it can provide a unique and thoughtful experience within the creature-collecting RPG space. For others seeking a more polished or streamlined adventure, its flaws may prove too distracting. As a result, Monster Tribe stands as an interesting but imperfect entry in the genre, one that hints at something greater even as it struggles to fully deliver on its promise. Rating: 5/10

Remember playing ActRaiser? Remember how much fun you had helping the citizens and rebuilding the land and being looked upon as a god. Now imagine the battle system was tactical grid based pokemon battles! This game combines them and improves on both along with some sweet graphics.

I really like the graphics and the character movements. The concept of the story is very interesting and so far I think it will be fun.

Overall premise is good, art style is ok, creature design is pretty good; *conceptually* this *could* be a good game. Everything else, tho? Kind of a mess. Even ignoring glaring performance issues like the frequent crashes and random drops in frames which, on their own, make the game a pain to play, at times; a lot of the in-game systems would benefit from more detail, both in how they're implemented and in how they're explained to the player. This applies to everything from the tool upgrade system, to the battles n action effects, etc. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like these issues will be fixed any time soon, if ever.
