Monster Viator

All in all, I can’t hate on this game. The story’s interesting and keeps you going; if nothing else to see what happens to the spoiled prince. Overall, KEMCO has another nice entry on the Nintendo Switch eShop. Play Monster Viator for a sense of what I described.

grinding5 negative mentions
  • Classic pixel art style with charming and nostalgic visuals reminiscent of 90's JRPGs.
  • Engaging and compelling story that motivates continued play despite simplicity.
  • Variety in combat tactics with monster types, skills, and equipment customization.
  • Extremely repetitive grinding required with high encounter rates and slow progression.
  • Linear gameplay and story with limited monster variety and lack of true monster taming freedom.
  • Mobile game port with poor UX/design choices and some balancing issues making difficulty uneven.
  • story
    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is generally seen as straightforward and predictable, with some finding it simplistic or childish, though a few players appreciate its compelling elements and character backstories. It follows a familiar RPG formula involving memory recovery and monster companionship but lacks significant innovation. While some enjoy the narrative enough to stay engaged, others feel it doesn't fully meet modern storytelling expectations.

    • “Story wise: you start with a character that has amnesia and along the road you will recall memories of your past as a beast tamer.”
    • “Made in a way that it pretty much has a back story on all things you do.”
    • “As you progress through the story, you can meet the dark sides of the human world, but the most amazing moment is learning about the monsters that are with you on your journey.”
    • “- Story is crap... till the end it's obvious and childish; I played to the end hoping for a better ending, but no.”
    • “- Totally bound to the story, no change in which monsters will join you.”
    • “- The story has nothing new to offer.”
  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics feature classic pixel art that evokes a nostalgic, old-school JRPG aesthetic with delicate and spot-on visuals. Users appreciate the charming, retro style that complements the game's overall atmosphere.

    • “Classic pixel artwork.”
    • “Delicate pixel artwork graphics remind one of the visuals of a classic JRPG.”
    • “Spot-on old-school RPG aesthetic with pixel-perfect visuals and great music.”
  • grinding
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the grinding in the game to be excessive and repetitive, making leveling up characters and equipment feel boring and tedious. While optional quests offer some relief, significant time investment or in-app purchases are often needed to progress effectively.

    • “Lastly and most frustrating, you can level up yourself and others and equipment, but all that is based on grinding, which is super boring.”
    • “That means you must do extreme grinding, not only for raising your stats but also for gaining enough money to strengthen your items.”
    • “The gameplay is neat overall, but requires a bit of grinding and repetitive quests.”
  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is straightforward and linear, involving dungeon exploration, town visits, combat, and party customization. While generally neat and engaging, it can become repetitive due to necessary grinding and similar quests.

    • “The key gameplay is to cross the dungeon, city and world maps, fight enemies and customize your party.”
    • “Gameplay is linear; you stumble through dungeon A, visit town B, and then comes dungeon C.”
    • “The gameplay is neat overall, but requires a bit of grinding and repetitive quests.”
    • “The key gameplay is to cross the dungeon, city, and world maps, fight enemies, and customize your party.”
  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's music is highly praised for its quality and complements the old-school RPG aesthetic perfectly, enhancing the overall experience. It serves as an engaging background during auto-battles, making grinding enjoyable without requiring constant attention.

    • “You start your adventure with your monster friends, but soon you will meet Aira, a shepherd who tames monsters with her music.”
    • “The music in particular is quite impressive.”
    • “[Spot-on old-school RPG aesthetic with pixel-perfect visuals and great music, rewarding yet simple battle system, fun party progression and collectibles].”
