About

Sigilmon

Features
Read full description

Sigilmon is a creature-collecting RPG with a difference. Your sigil-bound companions aren't just stats on a card — they're living pets that need feeding, play, and care between battles. Eight elements, 121 species, deep evolution chains, and a sigil-tracing capture mini-game you won't find anywhere else. KEY FEATURES • Hatch, Raise, Evolve Crack eggs from a gacha hatchery with full odds disclosed up front. Each creature starts as a tiny baby form and grows into something fierce — but only if you take care of it. Feed, play, and bond your way through three evolution stages. • Strategic Turn-Based Combat Eight elements, a deep type chart, status effects (burn, poison, paralysis, sleep, confusion), priority moves, field hazards, substitutes, and multi-hit ability flavors. Build a team of three from your collection and climb the ladder. • Sigil-Tracing Capture Wild creatures in the World Battles zones can be captured with a unique sigil mini-game — trace the ancient pattern within the time limit, and the rarer the creature, the more intricate the sigil. Five rarity tiers from one-stroke commons to five-stroke legendaries. • 121 Species Across 8 Elements Fire, water, nature, electric, shadow, light, earth, and wind. Single-word portmanteau names (Fluppy, Sprizzle, Phantrak, Alpherno) — every species is original art. • Sanctuary Building Build and upgrade eight facilities on your home island. Gem mines, training grounds, expedition base, trophy hall, research lab, and the Beastmaster's Lodge - each contributes a permanent buff to your account. • Daily Reasons to Come Back Daily login rewards with a 7-day jackpot streak. Daily challenges. Daily spotlight opponents on the PvP ladder. Daily element bosses with 24-hour cooldowns. A live activity feed of recent matches across the ladder. • PvP With Personality Battle 100 hand-crafted opponents across six rank tiers. Track head-to-head rivalry records, write your own pre-match and victory banter, climb from Bronze to Legend. • Battle Pass + Quests 20+ tier rewards across 30 levels, fueled by daily quests, weekly challenges, and battle XP. Free track and premium track. DEEP MECHANICS WITHOUT THE BLOAT Combat draws on the classic turn-based RPG formula - physical/special attack split, six-stage stat changes, weather and terrain hooks, full status effect interactions - implemented from scratch with extensive test coverage. NEON-DARK AESTHETIC A vinyl-toy art direction with a moody dark palette. Cel-shaded creatures, hand-drawn UI, and an original synth-wave soundtrack. Designed for adult players who want collector depth without childlike presentation. PRIVACY-FIRST App Tracking Transparency on iOS. GDPR ad consent in EEA. No third-party trackers beyond the optional analytics opt-in. Personal data deletable in one tap from Settings. Your sigil-bound companions belong to you.
