Monster Crown is chock-a-block full of monsters and retro charm but you might want to wait for some of the bugs to be squashed first.
From the get-go, Monster Crown wears its inspirations on its sleeves. From the chip-tune melodies, 8-bit Gameboy-esque visual style, and charming monster designs, it is pretty clear what players are going to be in for with this game.

A darker take for the classic monster-catching RPG genre.
Monster Crown is a decent game that falls short of greatness in a few areas. Legitimately cool ideas with breeding and an overall solid combat system are let down by lackluster monster designs and performance issues.
