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!

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.

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 2,402 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.

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.
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.
A fun RPG with beautiful pixel art graphics with a rich world and interesting scenarios. The turn-based battle system is engaging and there are tons of secrets to discover through all the maps. I've been playing it for almost 30 hrs and I feel it will keep me engaged for twice as much hours. The game is fun and certainly worth a try if you like collecting monsters
好玩。就是没后续。没挑战。。。但是确实好玩。做成高清版的估计会卖爆
Aunque lo haya platinado a las 70 horas el juego resulta muy rejugable y más aún con los ng+. Compra el game si buscas un buen bft. Conclusión; Ta bien. (Mi juego favorito w)
pokemon but good
One of the best creature-catching games I've played, with a robust battle system that's easy to understand while still having lots of moving parts.
前期体感还不错,怪物能力和探索强绑定的机制挺不错的,探索感不强,地图基本都是相似的箱庭设计,感觉毫无设计感。 养成和build很经典,和宝可梦基本如出一辙,战斗方面回合制搭配也还行。 但是……你主线难度和等级搭配就不合理啊,我一路把能打的小怪都打了,结果遇到的主线对手都还是比我高好几级…… 你本来回合制节奏就拖沓,还给我强迫刷级吗?太恶心人了吧,不刷等级就被对面数值压制,就算拿搭配阵容都打不过,完全把之前稍微舒服的游戏体验打成浆糊。 本身弱探索、弱地图设计就让人很倦怠,你还让玩家推地图的过程中用等级锁强行让玩家回去重复刷刷刷?重心都偏离了吧…… 评分:4.5/10,回合制一向是我比较喜欢的类型,但既然你有类银探图属性,你就不该用这种操作不能解决的等级压制锁拿来恶心人。
