Great game, my 2nd Monsters game completed.
Scouting monsters, leveling them up, breeding them, leveling those, breeding, etc. never gets old. One of the best gameplay loops around.
The environments were great, really surprised me how much the DS could do 3D environments. They were varied enough as well.
Music was fine, some bangers but most of the time its the same couple of songs. Almost like the DQ curse.
Story was neat, middle part where I had to collect crystals seemed weird but it ended up paying off.
Unfortunately that fucking slow slow run speed almost completely turned me off the game. Makes everything feel like a chore and why I had to knock off 2 whole stars. I had to use a cheat for 2x run speed to even play this.
