モンスターキーパーの皆さん！
We released the new free Forgotten World DLC for Monster Sanctuary! This is a free update that will be downloaded automatically for anyone owning Monster Sanctuary (including anyone who already owns it as well as anyone who purchases it at any time in the future).
We have worked long on this update, and it's meant to be a love letter to our fans - we would not be here without all of your support! This update includes a new major area, ten new Monsters, and a ton of new features.
新エリア：忘れ去られた世界
Discover the Forgotten World: a gigantic subterranean ecosystem that existed long before the Monster Sanctuary was created. Uncover the secrets of this area and the origins of this world.
A new area, larger than any other area of Monster Sanctuary. Forgotten World is meant to be explored in the late game - either before you step foot in the Abandoned Tower, or after you finished the main story. You can find the entrance in the lower area of Horizon Beach. You will need a certain late-game exploration ability to enter this area.
Ten new Monsters. Nine of them can be found in the Forgotten World. One of the ten new Monsters is a new secret Champion in Blue Cave - which might help you enter the Forgotten World earlier.
New Monster type: Ancient. Many of the new Monsters have this type. There are also some older Monsters that have gained this type.
Level cap raised to 42 from 40.
All skill trees in the game have gained some new skill nodes. In some cases, we made extensive changes to older Monsters' skill trees.
A lot of new weapons and accessories.
Two new player costumes.
Some new rooms and treasure chests have been added to older areas of the game as well.
Some new exploration abilities have been added to the game as well. Some of the exploration abilities of older Monsters have been updated.
On top of three new Champion fights, there is a new super-secret Champion fight that can only be found by Keeper Masters. It is the most difficult fight in the game.
新しいゲームモード
We added three new game modes for added replayability.
Randomizer: All of the Monsters in the game are randomly swapped around. Mad Lords in Mountain Path, Blobs in Magma Chamber. It's pure madness. This includes all enemy Monsters in the game: including Champions and Keeper Monsters.
Bravery: Play with a limited selection of random Monsters to test your teambuilding skills. You start out with three random Monsters from across the Sanctuary. In each area, you will find a treasure chest (close to one of the entrances) which will have a random egg of one of that area's Monsters. You cannot gain eggs through any other means, except for certain story events.
Permadeath: Yeah, you read that right. If one of your Monsters ever gets knocked out in combat, it becomes defeated. A defeated Monster cannot be used in combat again - but you can still use its exploration ability. As soon as all of your Monsters become defeated, Permadeath becomes disabled for that save file (which means all of your Monsters can be used again).
You may combine any of these modes with each other, and with the already existing NG+ mode. You're also free to play these modes on any difficulty (Casual, Normal, Master). It is not required to beat the game to use these modes - you can turn on a setting in the options to use them.
We hope to bring a Roguelike feeling to the game with these game modes. Combine all three of them for the ultimate randomized Nuzlocke experience! Doing that on Master difficulty is truly a challenge for only the most experienced Monster Keepers. One tip: Be sure to watch out for those Keeper Duels!
Sprite Reworks
The art style of Monster Sanctuary changed quite a bit during development! We already updated the sprites of NPCs in the past. Now we chose to go back and update the sprites of some of the early Monsters in the game. We have updated 17 Monsters with completely redone sprites and animations. We also updated the sprites and animations for all Alchemist NPCs in the game.
New Legendary Keeper Duels
We added eleven new Legendary Keeper monuments to the game. These are based on the people who helped develop Monster Sanctuary. Each monument features a new fight - which means you may now fight the Monster teams of the developers themselves! Each also features new rewards. As with some of the other statues, you need to have the Keeper Master rank to gain the best possible rewards.
Quality-of-Life enhancements
We also added several quality-of-life features to the game that were commonly requested. This includes map markers, ten additional pages for more save slots, an exploration % display on save files, and more.
A note from the developers
We hope you will enjoy this new content, the new features, and all the changes to the game. We decided to release the DLC for free, since it was important to us that all of our playerbase gets access to the new content and also to avoid separating our PvP community into those who have the DLC and those who don't. A topic that came up a couple times during the last months was whether people could support us in any way. For that reason, we've setup a "tip jar" page for those who want to support us working on the DLC:
