You'll see some negative reviews due to the last few bosses being difficult. I mean...yeah, I'd certainly hope so.

It's not an exaggeration to say that Monster Sanctuary has all the charm of the original pokemon games. The well-balanced fights are deeply strategic, always interesting, and the game as a whole is much longer than you'd expect for an early access title - about 15 hours.

I find that often, pixel-art games rely upon the nostalgia of their visuals to try to hook people into an average game experience, but that's not the case here. The customization of stats and skill trees for your team makes it heavenly for people who like theorycraftering tactics. It's ADDICTING, immensely replayable, and captures the heart and soul of what made pokemon great in a large puzzle-filled and platformy world.
