Monster Viator

About

Monster Viator lets you guide a nameless hero who teams up with monsters for combat and travel. Switch between riding a dragon through the skies or navigating rivers on a raft while managing a roster of over 20 creatures each with distinct skills. Explore dungeons and open areas using a mix of real-time movement and turn-based battles. The game blends resource management with RPG progression as you uncover fragmented memories and piece together the world's lore. The pixel art style gives the world a charming but uneven look with some dated textures. The story follows Culter and Aira as they clash with a self-centered prince and chase clues about forgotten heroes. While the Metacritic score of 76 reflects mixed reviews about pacing and combat balance, fans praise the monster mechanics and the whimsical tone. Available on PlayStation 4 Switch and mobile since 2019 it offers a compact fantasy adventure with optional depth for those who enjoy slower-paced RPGs.

Storyline

Unable to remember who he is, Culter is mysteriously able to communicate with monsters. He soon comes across Aira, a shepherd who controls monsters with a harp. His only memory being a very faint memory of his brother, he sets out on his journey to uncover the truth. The Deselle Empire's third prince, Biscute, becomes a familiar face for our heroes... But Biscute is an ill-mannered and obnoxious young prince whose own selfishness gets in the way of Culter's quest! Culter's memories, a great Hero with a thousand monsters, a Fountain of Truth and an All-Seeing Witch... As if a fairy tale in itself, this story is packed with excitement from the get-go.
