How it feels

A gentle blend of monster breeding, training management, and town-hopping adventure that feels nurturing and steadily progressive rather than intense.

About

Monster Rancher EVO introduces an evolution in monster breeding with an intricate character-driven story, a two-phase training system, three-on-three battles and the ability to raise multiple monsters at a time. Players will balance monster breeding with role-playing exploration as they join in the adventures of Julio, a young circus performer with dreams of becoming a champion monster breeder. Traveling with the circus to seven different towns, the player will meet new adventures and new friends who can help with training and breeding monsters. Keeping in tradition, Monster Rancher EVO features the series' unique media disc input system that creates monsters based on the CD, PlayStation 2 game, or DVD the player inserts into the PlayStation 2, this latest incarnation of Monster Rancher presents an evolution of the series.
