Creature Keeper: A Call to Arms for Aspiring Monster Catchers + Heroes!

Prepare yourself, hero... because Creature Keeper is here to test your mettle. This pixel-perfect adventure brilliantly blends Zelda-style hack-and-slash combat with the addictive creature-collecting theme of Pokémon, creating a world where strategy, bravery, and well-timed sword swings reign supreme!

Fans of classic action RPGs will find themselves right at home, wielding an arsenal of weapons and charged attacks against formidable foes. But the twist is you’re not battling alone! Your hand-picked creatures fight alongside you, forming an unbreakable bond through training, exploration, and shared victories. And trust me, after a few hours of commanding your beastly battalion, you might even start naming them like they’re part of the family. I named my bat... Bruce! It just feels right.

Beyond combat, Creature Keeper offers creature management, a gardening system to cultivate stat-boosting food on the go with your pocket garden, and environmental puzzles that challenge both your reflexes and your wits. I didn't include this in the gameplay but... take a good look at this screenshot. There are different environmental puzzles that will challenge you, but when you figure them out... you'll be happy you did.

This shield can defend and attack! Hyaaaa!!!!!!

The game’s pixel art aesthetic paints an enchanting world that doesn't lcok the design of the world into a grid the same some games are when made with certain game makers. It's no shade... it's no shade, but you can see more freedom of movement with the animated sprites. The soundtrack pulls you in with adventerous rhythms and adds to the fun!

The controls? Effortlessly smooth... so smooth and simple that, before you know it, you’ll be slicing through enemies, mastering team tactics, and setting your sights on the biggest, baddest boss creatures standing in your way.

Heroes don’t want to just wander aimlessly when they're hot on the trail of accomplishing their mission, so keep an eye on the map so that you don't get lost! Build alliances with mighty creatures, and forge legends that echo through time. So, adventurer, the question isn’t whether you’ll answer the call of Creature Keeper.

It’s how soon you’ll begin your journey. The wonderland is waiting... what’s your move? If you were wondering what the price was... it's $14.99, and it's worth the money. Not just because it's inexpensive, but because it's fun. Oh, did I forget to mention that the game was confirmed for the Switch at a later date? I thought about the Switch as soon as I played this one, so that's perfect. In the mean time, you can grab the game on Epic Games + Steam... which means you can play it on the Steam Deck. So you can grab a bite to eat while on your adventure. Now if you'll excuse me, it's lunch time (BABY!). Pizza and fruit punch are calling my name!
