In Monster Rancher, your task is to raise "monsters" of your choice (the menu is attached). Most of them resemble dinosaurs. Having raised such a "handsome man" (and this is not quick and not easy), it is necessary to bring him to the norm in a number of indicators: strength, skill, intelligence, speed, etc. And for this you have to work hard and practice. In addition, loyalty, will, and popularity are also required. They are especially useful in the Tournament stage of the game. Throw in literally tons of items to buy and sell (by punishing or rewarding your pet). This is where accounting comes in handy, since you can sell your monsters, although you can save them for battles. Monster Rancher successfully combines 2D RPG menus with 3D polygonal battle scenes and gorgeous animations. It's just a funky combination.
Having trained your fighter, you send him into battle with computer rivals or your other creatures. But take the advice and do not sell your best pets, but use them in battles with your friends - buddies. It's just class! And use cash prizes to improve the best fighters.
