DS #5485: Monster Tale (USA)

Does the nfo guy really think to be funny or something? Damn we used to have standards around here.

Anyway, what kind of game is this supposed to be?

its like a rpg exploration platformer

I heard about this in Nintendo Power.
Looks interesting. Unfortunately I sold my Dsi on Ebay so I could get a 3DS.
dat nfo.

Didn't work on my r4i gold, ret = -4. But using wood4tt 1.25 as .nds worked a treat.
So far it's a great game imho.

I don't normally go into hyperbole regarding games. I'm far too long in the tooth having been a gamer since the '80's.

BUT... this game is worthy of praise.

Dreamrift's previous effort Henry Hatsworth was a fine opening salvo, its only weakness was a rather steep difficulty curve. This seems to have been addressed with their second game.

Monster tale is a masterful example of how to spoon out gameplay systems in a easy digestible way. At first glance the title appears as a colourful yet straightforward platformer with a pet. But as you progress through the opening couple of hours, more and more levels of gameplay are unlocked including various pet upgrades, control systems and power ups.

The 2D sprite work and backgrounds are excellent. Even though the game lends heavily from Metroid in terms of backtracking, the pacing is such that you don't have to wait too long before a new area/art style opens up. The soundtrack is also top notch. The beach tune is a standout with its intricate Roland CR78 drum programing and synth washes.

I've played most of the so called triple A titles this year, the bulletstorms, crysis 2, dragon age 2, pokemon black to name but a few.. none have griped me like Monster Tale.

Can we avoid giving 'Lamefuck' the attention he's so desperately seeking? Stay on topic kids.

No. I will now be downloading every single Lamefuck release simply because of this NFO. Nice going Lamefuck.

Now to stay "on topic". I've been waiting on this game, looks pretty unique.

 

[Slyakin]

I want to find lamefuck and snuggle him to death.

Drawing a blank here as I'm involved here or there but was this NFO legit? I just can't bring myself to believe an 11 year old girl(hah) could know how to dump a game even if there was a wiki guide to it. Not stirring the pot just inquiring if the NFO is a joke or a valid attempt. If it's valid and this is really a 11 year old girl(hah-hah). Then the internet needs to become a 18+ environment cause I'm sure her constant young exposure to the internet, having a lip pierced at 11, and having 3(hah) boyfriends, is not a turn for the best for the rest of humanity. This girls on the road to AIDS, a lawsuit on her parents behalf as their legally responsible for her leaks, and a sure punch in the face from the first real gangster to come along with a 'glock' to make some 'brain slushies'(thought this was really funny for a potential 11 year old to even conceive as a threat). All in all is this title more so seems like a monster rancher/poke'mon/dungeon crawler? Please post some more reviews when available.
