Monster Sanctuary

Pokemon if gamefreak cared.

融合银河城探索和宝可梦式怪物养成玩法，怪物自带破坏墙体、浮空、冲刺等专属能力，解锁新魔物才能开辟地图密道，探索和抓宠深度绑定，游玩闭环非常丝滑。 3v3 回合连击战斗体系深度十足，百余种魔物各带独立多分支技能树，输出、护盾、DOT、增益体系齐全，搭配装备饰品自由改定位，冷门怪物也能组队上岗，没有纯粹的图鉴摆设怪。 支持线上 PVP 对战，通关本体后还有长线配队钻研空间，游玩时长轻松破四五十小时。 主线剧情极度单薄，世界观、人物塑造潦草空洞，全篇流程基本只靠闯关抓怪驱动，剧情文本毫无记忆点，全程可以直接跳过对话游玩不影响进度。 银河城传送点位分布稀疏，中后期解锁新能力需要反复长途折返旧地图，大量无效跑路。地图解谜多为拉杆、破墙的重复模板，繁琐却没有解谜乐趣，纯粹卡进度。 野外捕捉机制不够友好，没有睡眠、弱化捕捉保底，高阶精英怪抓捕成功率偏低，刷极品词条魔物蛋很吃运气，重复刷怪容易变成枯燥刷刷乐。 怪物立绘设计同质化偏高，大量魔物外形辨识度低，单纯依靠技能区分不同魔物，收集的视觉快感不足。

I've always had a slight liking for these kinds of games but my skill has always been lacking with trying to figure out strategies and what ends up working well, and this game is no different. My personal issues aside, you travel around the world, collecting creatures and battling while also using your companions to further explore the world; metroidvania style. The battle system plays more on a strategic style as you not only use moves and buffs to deal with your enemies, but it also relies on a combo system to rack up as much ammo as you can in a single turn before you start blasting and a stamina system that forces you to be mindful about not spamming your strongest moves (which is probably why you still have access to your weaker moves in addition to the skills you unlock). As your monsters level up, you can buff them up via their skill tree to unlock new skills or passives, or upgrade your current skills, not to mention statuses and tone shift passives to think about. In short, there is a lot to think about with team composition and strategy in this game. It's very expansive with a lot of things to do, including an arena, battle challenges, and PVP battles. It may look nice enough, but the game really wants you to understand the core gameplay and have at least some understand instead of just powering through. You think balanced and versatile would get you through at least the main story but unless you come up with something that can work effectively, your just stalling your demise. Maybe it also doesn't help that in competitive battles your opponent always gets dibs on attacking first. Regardless, art and music are good and pleasant and overall this game is an interesting take on the monster-collecting genre with an interesting story to back it up.

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.

포켓몬 + 메트로베이니아. 포켓몬이라고 해서 포획하는 건 아니고, 일정 확률로 얻을 수 있는 알을 부화시키면 된다. 비전통 필요 없이 몬스터는 무제한으로 데리고 다닐 수 있으며, 전투 참여는 3~6마리, 경험치 얻는 것도 6마리가 맥스다. 안 키우던 몬스터를 키우게 되면, 레벨링 과정은 무척 지루하다. 아이템으로 레벨업이 가능하나 한정적임. 탱딜힐만 갖추면 어떤 몬스터로도 클리어가 가능해보여서 좋았는데, 두 가지로 나뉜 보스 중 챔피언은 느긋하게 깰 수 있으나, 트레이너 매치와 같은 연금술사들은 좀 더 탄탄하게 덱을 갖추지 않으면 레벨이 앞서도 이길 수 없으며, 해당 구간을 뚫는 대로 덤비다간 레벨마저도 밀린다. 찾아보면 몇 개의 사기 조합도 있고 초반에 쓸 만한 몬스터들도 있기는 있으나.. 디버프 중첩시켜서 뻥데미지로 깨는 등 몇 가지 루트를 벗어나면 플레이가 불가능해지는 것 같음. 딜러는 딜을 해야 하고 힐러는 힐하기 바쁜데, 쌓이는 디버프 (턴 제한도 없음)를 정화 스킬이 없을 경우 해독제로만 지울 수 있는데 여유도 없거니와 다 지워지지도 않는다. 적당힌 딜탱힐로 버티면서 패기를 했다간 점화 5스택 중독 1스택 정전기 1스택 이런 식으로 미친 듯이 늘어나서 버티질 못하게 된다. 전투 한 번 한 번도 매우 피로한 편이고. 생각보다 극악 수준은 아니지만 빡돌 수도 있는 플랫포밍 구간도 있기는 함. 결론은 GG.

This game has surprised me consistently with its depth, intelligence, and yes, its heart. A perfect blend of Pokemon, Metroidvania, and Party-based RPG, "Monster Sanctuary" has been a delight from the first boot, despite grindy elements and a few RNG-dependent mechanics. This game awards exploration, experimentation, and even failure, as every encounter is a potential teaching moment which invites the player to reflect on his/her choices and ponder how to improve their performances. Platforming sections can be frustrating, as can some of the puzzles (especially the time-driven ones,) but nothing so far has been too difficult to completely discourage attempts. I have a seven-year-old, and he and I have thoroughly enjoyed our time with this title, and I have really appreciated how this game has bolstered his critical thinking skills, his memory recall, and his reading abilities. Overall, I think this game is a must-have for anyone who fondly remembers the joy of exploration in the original Metroid titles or anyone who wanted their Pokemon battles to rely on more than just a single monster's at-bat abilities. "Monster Sanctuary" is a joy to play, and I'm looking forward to delving even deeper in the NG+ modes (as well as the world of "Aethermancer" by the same team.)

Un petit jeux a la con ... un énième petit jeux a la con ... ou Team 17 n'ai pas loin, et a force de regarder mes petits coup de cœur indé .. je me rend compte qu'ils sont toujours pas loin ... un très bon jeux pixel art, cross over entre un metroid like / pokemon like / old school final fantasy , avec en prime une option multijoueur pour ce foutre sur la tronche . j'ai passé un bon moment, pour le prix, a tester absolument .
