Monster Tale is a very creative mashup of a pet training game and metroidvania. The aesthetic elements are excellent, and controls are very tight (with one exception) which makes the platforming and combat very fun. The monster complements the main character's moveset, and training it well requires some strategic thought. This also might be one of the best uses of the dual screens that I've seen on the system.
Unfortunately the dash is extremely unreliable, which made the third boss too frustrating for me to continue. It's a shame because this is a very creative and well-executed title otherwise. I would still highly recommend it to anyone looking for unusual games on the DS.

if you play hideo kojima talking into your ds microphone at a specific part of the map you can unlock the secret creepypasta mode where the monster really kills people
Man I wish they made more of this game! It was so fun. I highly recommend this DS gem!

It is as charming as it is tedious. And I say that, but please don’t let this keep you from playing the game, because it really does feel filled with so much love that I’d be remiss not to recommend it if you have a DS. It’s cute, and the mechanics are unique. The main issues are how slow and unforgiving the game is, but it’s worth working past if only for how quaint the experience is.
