How it feels

A pixelated creature-raising RPG where you gently nurture a monster from baby to beast, then test its growth in quick turn-based battles.

What players say

Players describe it as a digital pet mixed with monster battling, where choices affect evolution and battles are the main activity. Long-time players note that the removal of the mandatory account system is a welcome change.
