This got me to buy the full game, and it was definitely worth it. I love how even the early-game monsters are viable for the full game, and how each monster fulfills a unique niche. The randomizer mode gives fantastic replayability in the full game. If you wish pokemon was also a platformer, this is the game for you.

Monster Sanctuary is a monster-taming RPG with party-based combat and metroidvania-like exploration. New monsters provide additional strategic options in combat and allow you to overcome obstacles to explore new areas and find hidden treasures. The turn-based combat focuses on team synergy and combos, distinguishing Monster Sanctuary from other popular monster collecting games.
As the youngest heir of an ancient bloodline of proud Monster Keepers, you step out into the world to follow in your ancestors' footsteps. You will gather a party of monsters to grow and train. Meanwhile, a series of unsettling events worries the experienced Keepers of the Monster Sanctuary. This is the beginning of a journey to unravel the cause of a mystery that threatens the peace between humans and monsters.
Warning: The web version of the demo has issues with savegames and crashes for some. You can play the demo version from Steam or Gamejolt instead, they are stable in that regard.
Turn based RPG flash. Graphics have a nice level of attention to detail and has the retro vibe. Gameplay is decent except for the wonky saving feature. However, this is the classic example of only uploading the demo. It is sad when people just want money, so they never upload the complete game.
I played on my xbox!
yoooo this version is so nostalgic! Really enjoyed playing this demo back then and seeing how the full game improved on this is so cool to see.
I first learned about Monster Sanctuary here, and now I'm back after playing the final version on Steam. If you like to spend hours combing through stat sheets and skill lists to create the perfect teams, this game is paradise. It is very complex, and expects a lot by the end, so it's not very accessible for casual monster collecting fans, but veterans will have a lot to sink their teeth into. If you like this demo, I'll just say that the final game has a ton of content and is absolutely worth the buy. (also, there are a lot of improvements and fixes that aren't in this demo)
