Monster Sanctuary is coming to consoles soon. The game was developed by Moi Rai Games and published by Team 17, Monster Sanctuary was first released in Early Access for the PC last year, but will be released on consoles this December 8, 2020.
A new teaser trailer has just been posted for Monster Sanctuary to reveal the game’s availability on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. The clip features the game’s Pokemon-meets-Metroid mechanics and gameplay such as exploration, fighting, and monster collecting.
Monster Sanctuary was first released as a Kickstarter back in 2018. The game lets players encounter monsters by exploring the map, while also breeding and raising these creatures similar to the popular game Pokemon.
However, the game also adds a Metroid-like backtracking feature. Players locate and use items, as well as call upon the help of monsters to assist them in progressing further into the story. Although the Pokemon franchise is frequently the first consideration when it comes to games that focus on monster collecting, there are several successful titles in this genre.
Games like Ni No Kuni, Yo-Kai Watch, and Monster Rancher all have their one of a kind spin on the genre. Monster Sanctuary’s take is consolidating Metroid’s exploration in 2D sidescrolling pixel-art.
Now that the game is coming out of early access, more fans will be able to try if Monster Sanctuary is one of the better monster collection games, as entries into this genre that mixes unique features into the formula are absolutely welcome.
