Top 20 Monsters
Our community survey is closed, and we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking your time to provide us with your thoughts on the future at Moi Rai Games! Every feedback was appreciated and will be read and considered. Today, we'd like to share with you the top 20 most-favorite Monsters of Monster Sanctuary:



Again, we would like to thank you all for participating! There have been over 3.3 thousand people who filled out our survey. Just a couple interesting tidbits:
  • The most popular game genre among our fans is the growing "Creature Collector" genre - they made up around 35% of all favorite games in the survey!
  • The most popular series of games among our fans were Pokémon, Monster Hunter, and Final Fantasy.
  • Over 63% of our fans are aware of "Nuzlocke" runs of Pokémon games, having either watched or even played them. It was quite surprising to us how commonplace Nuzlocke has become.
Post-Launch Update 1.2

The next free update for Monster Sanctuary is going to be released SOON and is coming with many new features! We don't want to reveal everything right away, but here is a sneak-peak into some update content.



Are you ready to challenge the 14 Legendary Keeper statues to a duel?



Soon you will finally be able to change the appearance of your Keeper! Check out the first three costumes.

Help us make our next game better! + Monster Journals for sale

Hello Monster Keepers,

While we at Moi Rai Games are still working on future content for Monster Sanctuary, we're already deep into brainstorming the specifics of our next game. It will once again be a Creature Collector game, but without being a successor to Monster Sanctuary.

You can help us make the best of our next game. For that purpose, we prepared a super-short survey that won't take up more than 3 minutes of your time. Among other things, the survey lets you share with us what your favorite and least favorite parts of Monster Sanctuary are.

The survey also lets you vote on your favorite Monster in the game. We will collect the results and create a ranking of the most popular Monsters! We will share this ranking with you soon after the survey is over.

We will keep the survey open until June 6. Please be honest with us! Fill out the survey here:
