by Replace trainers with keepers and Poké Balls for monster traps and you’ve got Monster Legacy, a game that offers a glimpse of what a free-to-play Pokémon could play like if Nintendo ever took its popular franchise mobile. This means fighting alongside a team of monsters, training them to evolve, and even completing missions for rare items. But before you dismiss this game for another creature-catching clone, Monster Legacy mixes in various clever elements and modes that make it more than just another Pokémon wannabe.
Your mission as the prophesied keeper is to catch and tame monsters to help defend the kingdom of Arborea from incoming doom. The story may not be anything special, but it provides a premise for collecting monsters of various elemental types and training them in battle. With more than 100 monsters to find—all boasting creative names and designs—you’ll definitely find favorites and learn to utilize their skills and unique stats to your advantage. Upon reaching a certain level, some even evolve into stronger versions of themselves, offering more reasons to keep on training them.
Each level you explore has three objectives to complete that either involve battling creatures or retrieving something for a person in the world. Accomplishing each task grants you experience, money, and additional items you can use during your adventure. To add to their replayability, levels can always be revisited to train your lower-leveled monsters, or to complete any objectives you couldn’t clear because you lacked a certain item.
