Hmm, look what we have here. San Francisco-based indie game development studio, MinoMonsters Inc has just released MinoMonsters on the App Store for iOS devices. The highly anticipated game is a Pokemon clone, featuring lovable pet monsters, each with their own personality, challenges players to capture and train these amazing little creatures for battle, whether in single or multiplayer mode.
MinoMonsters’ story is set in the legendary Kingdom of Zancardi, an ancient civilization that suffered a tremendous cataclysm a thousand years ago. The kingdom and its shattered remains became the Windward Isles, a secret and mysterious chain of islands that exists in the modern day world and is now home to the elusive MinoMonsters.
A turn-based monster battling game, MinoMonsters see players battling their pet monsters by trading blows back and forth with their opponent until one team has been defeated. By using gained skills, grabbing bonuses, capturing other monsters, finding hidden loot, and collecting specific items such as powerups and candy, a player’s stable of MinoMonsters continually grows in ability, helping the player to fight their way to victory.
To ensure success, players must also continually return to their home screen to take care of their stable of lovable and loyal monsters. By feeding, petting, and taking care of them, trainers develop special bonds with their monsters, ultimately helping them to better perform in battle!
The game’s strategy is unique as players must pick the right monster during a battle – some do bonus damage to others (i.e.: water monsters will inflict heavy damage to a fire monster). If the player chooses properly and wins a battle, their monsters receive experience and possibly level up. And, as a monster gains levels, it becomes stronger, learning new skills, which the player can use during future battles.
However, if a player chooses improperly and loses a battle, the player’s losing monster will need a 15-minute rest period before it can return to battle. Players must choose wisely when battling! The MinoMonsters App is available for $0.99 from the App Store on iPad, iPhone and iPod touch at https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/minomonsters/id477750637?ls=1&mt=8
