Monster Sanctuary has just added a boatload of new content with their free Forgotten World DLC which is available now.
Monster Sanctuary combines monster raising and platforming in a weird mish-mash of Metroidvania and Pokemon. Players will bring a team of monsters with them on an adventure, using their partners to solve puzzles, cross terrain, and of course fight other monsters.
Many of the trappings of Pokemon are present, type advantages, limited move pools, etc. But the new Forgotten World DLC makes the comparison even more apparent, allowing players to use optional rules similar to “Nuzlocke” runs in Pokemon.
For those unfamiliar, a Nuzlocke run includes multiple hard core rules that spike the difficulty of the game. Permadeath for your partners (if they faint, you release them) and also the ability to only collect one monster per zone. These are now codified as “Permadeath” and “Bravery” mode in Monster Sanctuary.
You can check out the trailer for the upcoming Forgotten World update here.
