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.

I really see a lot of potential for this game. At first I was a little worried it would just be a pokemon clone but as I played I saw the uniqueness of it. I really would like to continue playing this game and I hope it continues to be developed until it's finished. Though a slight downside I could see to this is the egg system, while I haven't gotten too far into the game I do hope that trying to find monsters won't just be grinding specific monsters for a drop.
I'm absolutely loving this game so far. My only minor nitpick is that I wish there was an option to map arrow keys, mainly because I'd prefer WASD for moving in the overworld and arrow keys for menu navigation. Otherwise, pretty solid demo. Hopefully there's an option to transfer save data for when the full game is released. I'm looking forward to seeing this done!
BEST GAME EVER! 5 STARS LOVE THE GAME!
by far the best game on newgrounds i have ever played. i didn't know good things could be done with unity i thought it's only purpose was to crash. also the rarity of your loot depending on how well you do in combat? fantastic concept i can't believe more games don't have this. the only reason i don't want to play more than 5 minutes of this is because i'm afraid of losing hundreds of hours playing it.
