Why you might like it

  • Fans of monster-collecting games who want a persistent world layered on top of the catch-and-train loop.
  • Players who enjoy housing and social systems, since Monster and Me included home building and an in-game marriage system.
  • Anyone nostalgic for early-2010s NetDragon/TQ Digital free-to-play MMORPGs.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • The game shut down in June 2012, so there is no live server to play on today.
  • Combat uses old-school random encounters and turn-based screen transitions rather than real-time action.
  • Its systems (growth-rate pet stats, evolution, merging) are numbers-heavy and reward hunting for high-growth-rate pets.
