"Creature Collecting Metroidvania"
Monster Sanctuary blends a 2D-sidescrolling pokemon-like game with metroidvania elements. Use your mosnters to traverse terrain, fight your battles, and overcome all!
I really enjoyed the way you unlocked the map through different monsters and got to unravel further puzzles as you explored. The game is a bit short, but absolutely worth checking out! I don’t believe I 100%’d it and may have had some other main content to do, it’s been a while between playing the game and writing this review–but I can easily recommend it to anyone who finds it remotely interesting.
