一周目クリアまで。
察しが悪いのでモンスターのレベルアップとか回復モンスターとかに中々気づかず苦戦したし、特定のモンスターを編成してレベ上げすると解放されるモンスターの存在にクリアまで気づかなかった。まだまだ遊べそう。

I love MinuteQuest and I gave MonsterTrader a try... This game is amazing in terms of replayability, its offline too if you need to take a trip! 

The only thing missing is an endless mode and some kind of way to donate to the dev. 

Love the @guest monster too :)
