NEWS | Monster Tale to be Re-Released on Modern Game Platforms Soon
MONSTER TALE is an overlooked and underrated game, a hidden gem among the hundreds of Nintendo DS titles that were released during the tail end of the system.
Developed by Dreamrift in 2011, Monster Tale is a Metroidvania with virtual pet twist set in a vibrant world featuring the human monster duo of Ellie and Chomp.
Players in Monster Tale experience a seamless blend of classic gameplay styles of puzzle-platformers, Metroidvania, and pet management as they seek to rid the fantastic Monster World of the evil ragtag group the Kid-Kings. Working together Ellie and Chomp must learn new skills in order to return the world to the rightful hands of the monsters and help Ellie return home.
Monster Tale features a beautifully crafted world of 2D pixel artwork reminiscent of classic 90’s titles. As players explore the world as Ellie, they’ll unlock new abilities for her to use to overcome the obstacles she faces. They’ll also help to train her monster companion Chomp so that he can evolve and aid Ellie in their adventures.
As there is no specific date or details which platform Monster Tale will be appearing on, it remains to be seen how this exclusive dual-screen game would translate onto current platforms. Meanwhile, there’s a quite in-depth feature about Monster Tale at Hardcore Gaming 101 that worth checking out if this game piqued your interest.
