### 3/5 — Why is there no autosave?

*2025-04-26*

Silly how an advanced app won’t autosave. Lost hours of playing progress. So dumb.

### 5/5 — One of my all time favorites

*2023-11-23*

This is a really nice port of one of my favorite games of my childhood. The new monster breeding system is a great update from the old cd system. However, PLEASE ADD CONTROLLER SUPPORT!!! I prefer gaming with a controller to touch controls because of motor skill issues and it’s just easier and would add some new accessibility for me. Thanks for bringing Monster Rancher back to me all the same!

### 5/5 — The Best Version

*2022-08-13*

I adore Monster Rancher, and with the touch interface and fast forward, this is the definitive way to play it. Can't recommend it more.

### 5/5 — Nice, laidback raising sim!

*2021-12-23*

…but there’s a lot to dig into, as well! Also, the Random and History buttons are the best things to happen to the shrine. I hope to see more Monster Rancher titles localized in the future!

### 5/5 — Nostalgia trip

*2021-12-16*

This is full of nostalgia for me but with enhanced graphics. I love that the shrine is a search engine for titles and artists, makes it so much easier to experiment. Love it, its just like the old and great that its in english

### 5/5 — So Nostalgic!

*2021-12-12*

I had this for PS1 as a kid and used to love putting in all the random CDs to see what you get! Don’t have that here but it’s good enough!!

### 5/5 — Amazing Monster Care & Battling

*2021-12-11, version 1.1*

I’ve never played these games before. I love Pokémon and Nexomon, but sometimes I don’t have enough time for the exploration and catching. However, Monster Rancher games seem perfect for quick plays! There’s just the monster care (work, training, feeding) on one screen, and battle competitions that you can participate in if you want. It’s been fun! Hope these games are supported for a while because of the large price!
