Creature Keeper

Creature Keeper is an incredibly unique game that feels like a combination of Pokémon and The Legend of Zelda.

Creature Keeper is an adorable creature collecting game that sets itself apart with its large number of mechanics and by encouraging the player to thoroughly get to know each type of creature.

Creature Keeper is a creature collection game with some wonderful ideas, but its underwhelming combat and monster designs make it a tough sell.

Creature Keeper is in desperate need of an X-factor: something especially unique and hard-hitting that makes it intriguing and memorable. The game's story isn't offensive, it's just bland and unoriginal; its art style isn't terrible, but it's indistinguishable from so many other retro-influenced indies; its music is good, but nothing special; and its action-RPG combat works just fine, but doesn't ...

Creature Keeper is a new monster collecting game with some interesting ideas, but some frustrating design choices as well. Fun can be had here, but with some serious caveats.

An off-beat monster collector romp through unfunny writing and cathartic action that has enough passion on display to warrant a pass, but struggles to plot its course beyond that.

Creature Keeper is a promising attempt and the monster collecting genre. Unfortunately, combat and rather shallow collection mechanics keep this game from reaching the true potential promised by the premise.
