Gotta Hatch Em All! - Let's Play Monster Sanctuary [1.0] - PC Gameplay Part 1

[@moiraigames]

Thanks again for playing! You were probably the biggest streamer/youtuber who played the game way back when it wasn't as known :)

[@xGotDemFragzJRx]

I know this is a very old comment and an old game at this point, but if you see this just know that your game is amazing. I bought game pass 1st month $1 trial just for this game and I am not disappointed whatsoever. The game just scratched the itch I’ve been having for a good game like this, and I must thank y’all for creating it 😁

[@Grimiore500]

Wanderbots is the reason why i purchased the game a while back. And looks like they've fully released. Gotta go back to it.

[@BismuthBorealis]

Likewise!

[@Zogmek]

Same here

[@RavenKnight2408]

Same here. I got it and fell in love after 2 hours.

[@resaygaming4009]

Your the reason I even wanted a pc you make great content and thanks for having so many great game suggestions

[@ZyroidX]

This actually looks right up my alley honestly!

[@Scitch-et4vk]

Dude it is incredible

[@leonidaszatchbell2122]

Im considering purchasing it since i like metroidvania and monster taming but once something gets over grindy i get bored.....

[@roflstomp_9490]

It makes me happy the game is finally out, i still remember the very 1st series he made on this and it was amazing.

[@papervoxels]

Thanks for covering the 1.0 release, I had no idea it was leaving early access today! Just scheduled a monster sanctuary Christmas gift delivery for everyone on my steam friends list! I support the games I like, and over-support the games I love lol

[@nicholi8933]

This game reminds me of a more tradition jrpg game where as pokemon has never reminded me of that. You have a group that fights another group. The only time you have more than one pokemon out to fight is in double battles and with the exception of coliseum, those are rare. I like classic jrpg's will have to pick this up. I remember when they re released red, blue and yellow on ds I bought it. I decided to try a nuzlocke on it. That was a very hard run. I have tried that on other versions and they are really easy. Older games were actually difficult.

[@Scitch-et4vk]

This game is incredible played for 4 hours straight on switch today. It is absolutely perfect

[@paranoidpony6861]

Bruh try fifteen hours straight.

[@MightyRathalos90]

found this game thanks to your early access coverage, was a bit sceptic teh firt 2 or 3 episods but then immediatley bought it during EA to experiment with the monsters myself. followed it ever since and having so much fun starting over with the full release now

[@SuperPyroFox]

So... Can we start using "monster catching" as a genre now? We can call it just "Catch'm"

[@azeragaming]

katch'em

[@lamihadamshareef5270]

Yes

I thought people refer to them as Monster Tamer games.

I'm glad that you mentioned World of Final Fantasy. I love that game and think it gets overlooked a lot. But Monster Sanctuary looks even better and I can't wait to get it.

[@paranoidpony6861]

This game is phenomenal. I can't remember the last time I fell deeply in love with a games ost. Eargasm overload!

[@noscopemonkey3369]

Hey wander I just got the game and I love it so far, I know quite late Do you have some tips? Also I cant wait for their new game called something like.. Aethermancer, I cant remember. People say that it would be more or less a Monster Sanctuary 2

[@dilanacosta3814]

Wanderbots when you originally did the Outer Wilds series it drew me into your content and made me love it. I hope you are doing well and enjoy everything you do.

[@DamsdelDrennon]

I'm really happy to see you come back to Monster Sanctuary, I loved the previous play through you did and I'm going to get into the game thanks to you.

[@MBoy2000_]

This game looks so good! Can't wait to see more :)

[@arts3802]

I thought until you got mama proc that each of the trees were tied to a specific move, it’s awesome that they’re not! Also, as far as grinding goes, I 100% agree with you. As someone who enjoyed, and still occasionally enjoys Warframe as well the grind can’t be the game. I go back to it, but all there is to do that’s new is grind something new, it’s utterly exhausting honestly. It’s almost expected for it to be a part time job. I’m honestly super glad I stopped playing it routinely. I’ll go back occasionally, but the grind just wears you down.

[@ebonysoldier]

I freaking love this game. Takes me back to my nes days

[@LunaRayArclight]

Monster/creature hunter/catching/collecting is a recent theme apparently. Fascinating. In a good way.

[@ZyroidX]

Well seeing you play this got me interested enough to actually go out and buy, I'm honestly enjoying it, thanks Wonder

[@daguido742]

"Toad?...lies....it is Frg!"

[@SplootTheMan]

I adore games with grinding lol. I replay pokemon game several times a week and never get bored. also love your video it my first one on your channel!

[@omegagamer4124]

I was watching the last series and enjoyed it and will be picking it up soon

[@ChristMetalMayhem]

Its a mistake to overlook Rocky since he is super tanky. Then once you get the Giant Seed in late game and turn Rocky into Mega Rock, it becomes a literal lifesaver.

[@rasmusdrugge6324]

I really don't like grinding in grinding games but I tend to play a lot of them, ironicly. It's often the best experiences in them for me when your level, items, and dumb luck just barely preveils and lands you the victory, there's nothing better game-wise. It's a shame that whenever I replay one of those games I can never get that "down to the wire" feel because I often have a better chance to win on subsequent playthroughs.

[@Deviljho5]

I purchase this game for Christmas which means I get to play it today! Merry Christmas everyone!

[@littlebeasty5839]

Thanks wonderbot, 100% this & it was a blast :)

[@smokeythebear99]

Well... Gonna pick this up tomorrow morning when I get home from work.

[@scottallen4569]

I was wondering when youd get back to this game. It was less than a day. Impressive, wander.

[@caitlynphillips9954]

The entire reason I stopped playing final fantasy 14 was the sheer amount of grind and the amount needed to keep up with the core group. The grind is the gameplay, that's all they release 90% of the time anymore.

[@uhavemooface]

Its on sale now for just around 7 or 8 dollars on steam.

[@Zinriusminazen]

So I started playing the video... and I was drinking coffee. I almost spit it out when you revealed your character's name. "Smash Ketchup"

[@patrickloki6244]

A nice looking monster raising game that won't hurt my wallet? And a super cute froggy buddy? Looks like I have a new hyper fixation!

I'm still waiting for a remake of Jade Cocoon and/or Folklore.

[@rodiro5305]

Totally agree with you

Folklore remaster would be awesome!

0:18 Personally i think you forgot Pokemon and Snack World, guess that's just me...

[@ethanyork7069]

Cool game! I'll make sure to keep up with it

[@vineheart01]

i bought this game in early access back in 2018 and wasnt really expecting much, but it was a cheap game and my general rule of thumb is if i get an hour of fun per 5 bucks spent then i dont consider it a bad buy. Thing is i somehow missed the early access part so i didnt know it was unfinished at the time. When i hit that wall of content i was actually quite mad because i wanted to keep playing!! So glad this game is finished now, i stopped following it for awhile and recently got back into it. Its combat system is surprisingly complex yet simple. Imo the only reason Pokemon is still superior is the creature designs are indeed vastly better. Thats it. If they continue this game with a sequel in the future they could invest more time into designs to help combat that. Course competing with pokemon designs isnt exactly an easy feat.

[@bdf300]

The game appears to be on gamepass

[@StardustKing]

Just saw this game in the Xbox Game Pass. I'm excited to try it out 😁

[@PrinceDavidA.]

Me: *Casualy looking for game play of this.* Me:yo wtf he made game play of this!

[@ivanpetrov8268]

Holy shit my god it’s finished *opens steam* ama buy it..

[@Wolvenskorn]

In Final Fantasy 8, enemy levels were increased as player level increased. It was basically detrimental to grind since it made the enemies more powerful.

[@TheShy007]

Ya I hate it even in nexomon it's the same.

[@LowbrowDeluxe]

There's actually a bunch of really good monster taming games going currently. Disc Creatures, Cassette Beasts, Mythren, Kindred Fates. Aniton looks really good but looking like they're going to end up just short of their goal on their kickstarter. At 58k out of 75k with 57 hours to go. ETA: Necromancer's Gift, too. TemTem, I guess. Frankly I think Monster Sanctuary has the better combat mechanics between it and TemTem.

[@wanderbots]

Agreed. I love the idea of TemTem, but I found playing it was kinda exhausting after a while. Can't wait for all those new monster collection games too!

[@ameliadriscoll8634]

I have to agree that its annoying in pokemon that you have to catch multiples to get stronger ones, i dont know how many times ive gotten my starter and checked its nature and saw it was one that weakened its main attack stat. Gonna add this gem of a game to my wish list :D

[@ethanyork7069]

YES!!! FROG IS BACK!

[@soul-9047]

love you wander

[@PrinceDavidA.]

Your also the reason I played supraland.

[@alexandregehin8665]

In most pokemon games, playing through the adventure is actually easier if you only play one pokemon. You only really struggle in certain areas, and at the elite four etc, but you're so overleveled that you'd one shot everything in your way

[@uhavemooface]

I am thinking I should buy it. It seems like a cool game. I do have the switch and pc. I don't know if I should buy it for pc or switch though. My fiance might like the game to.

[@ElhPudding]

I liked that they gave a new character appareance, I wasn't much keen on the red one, especially did felt like was just like an old guy with a beard but the blue one does look better for me, probably gonna get this game when possible since I do like me some Metroidvania too, and funny enough my first Metroidvania also had a monster that I had to take care XD Edit: I like grinding depeding on the game, I do grind when is like a new character joins the party but they are underleved or so, or just to level everyone ups to the same level, games that has like no grind (Ex: Certain FE games and Super Robot Wars) tend to feel very punishing if they don't cycle through the cast, I remember in Super Robot Wars L I never touched the Mazinger's characters but I was forced to use then when Kouji got the Mazinkaiser and was just hard till I got the other characters arrived. I kinda wish to see like in RPGs have the boss scale up to the player level if the player is overleved for the boss, I don't know if a game ever done that but is a concept that could prove kinda worth it.

[@engineergaming3830]

I remember playing this game since beta kinda sad it will have no new majors now

[@cathyphilips6226]

I think I understand what your saying about difficulty in games, but on a scale of gruz mother to absolute radiance what is your preferred difficulty of a game.

the bosses are so hard to get but are worth it

[@zekrom6537]

can anyone explain to me the purpose of the passive called "overcast" it says "Increases the Mana Cost of all attacks, healing and shielding actions by 10% and the power by 15%." why would you ever want this...? is it just me or this sentence suggests that your mana cost goes up but thats it you gain nothing out of it?? am i missing something?? and i tried it just really increases the mana cost of abilities by 10% and 15% but their power and healing power stays the same why the fuck would we want higher mana cost if it gives no benefits? OR i am misunderstanding this and its trying to say that it increases the mana cost, increases healing and shielding and increases power by 15%?

[@PrinceDavidA.]

So thx

[@adog8792]

YAY

[@jonathanflanagan1504]

I'll still prefer Pokemon's monster designs. I think they've consistently been the best of any monster taming game I've played, or at least had the most monsters that suited my taste. But in almost every other aspect, this game knocks it out of the park.

[@Closer2Zero]

Have you gave any thought to trying TemTem?

Oh god, daily logins. I spent 3 week loggin in twice a day trying to breed a single pet one time for a 50-66% chance in my favor. I did not get it until i did it 50 times over 3 weeks. That absolutely accelerated my burnout, and the middle finger the devs gave about fixing my main class in a year was the last straw

ayeeee finally

Yup

[@AJFes12]

EV and IV training is what sucked for pokemon for me, the grind and meticilous breeding was really off putting for me. I usually play normally like go through and grind for level and usually not focus on the EV IV part but some people criticize me for playing that way lol

[@jhon1406]

do i need to watch the alpha/demo/beta playthroughs to watch this? or is this a real ep1?

[@wanderbots]

This is a real Ep 1, though obviously not my first impressions anymore.

[@Closer2Zero]

Man after getting fucked over my the Pokémon company, and burned by TemTem’s terrible economy and accompany excuses, I’ve been looking for a monster catching game. Saw this on and the steam reviews sounded less that pleased, but i might just buy it if this series goes well

[@originlights3050]

I completely agree with wander about the how the grind shouldnt be the game. Also understandable is the warframe thing. Ive been playing for the past 5 days and already I feel like im just smacking my head against the wall in that game.

[@highgamer51]

Wanderbot, if you wanna try a really good monster catcher game, try "Dragon Quest: Monster Joker 2. the series is great and if you can get an emulator for it, i would highly recommend it.

[@Shenaldrac]

The pokemon games get more _potential_ for challenge and difficulty as the generations go on, but they never embrace it. Larger move pools and the introduction of abilities and such mean that a wider variety of mons are viable for a playthrough, and stuff like infinite TM use really opens things up... but the games still insist on enemy trainers never having more than 3 pokemon except for boss fights or gimmick trainer (ha ha 6 majikarp how hi-larious :| ) and said mons are usually unerleveled and underevolved so there's no real challenge. This is exacerbated with the introduction of the EXP All and friendship mechanics in the most recent entries. Gamefreak have gone on record saying that the games need to be accessible enough for babies to play, (paraphrasing) so... yeah.

[@LazyBoneZone]

Pokémon radical red is a romhack that requires experience players to train properly. It's not easy like the main games. You can't over level

That's still pretty surface level stuff compared to talent trees and a decent equipment system. Don't get me wrong, I still like Pokemon. It just feels so shallow after 20 years of the same thing over and over.

[@TeddyXGarm]

@@wanderbots well, compared to a full blown skill tree, it surely is "simplistic" and easy, but the game is mostly aimed for small children, yet there are still adult VGC players sitting there with calculators and stuff.
