MONGIL: STAR DIVE

What the monster-taming RPG covers

MONGIL: STAR DIVE is an action RPG built around collecting and taming monsters. The world it sets is shared by humans, monsters, elves and beastkin, and you travel through it with a party of characters. It suits players who like to collect creatures and take their time with a story.

The game is set up as a long exploration: there is a big world full of named characters to find, and a mysterious creature called Nyanners sits at the centre of the plot.

Taming monsters and filling the Monster Codex

You find monsters across the world and tame them, and each one brings its own abilities into battle. The Monster Codex tracks which creatures you have collected, so the goal is to fill it in.

A monthly subscription called the Morning Star's Pledge is sold in the game for $6.99 a month, charged to your Google Play account and renewed until you cancel. The game also offers in-app purchases, which you can turn off in your device settings.

Triple tag team battles and party building

Battles use three characters at once, and you swap between them in real time while the fight is still going. Switching is how you trigger Tag Skills, which are the stronger moves in the game.

Because you can mix a variety of characters into one party, the team you build changes how battles play out. Each character brings a different style, so the party you choose is part of the fight.

Story, characters and pacing

The main story follows Cloud and Verna, along with their kitty companion Nyanners, through a world of humans, monsters, elves and beastkin. The listing describes the plot as a search for where the adventure leads and what your destiny is.

There is no competitive ranking or race to the end. You decide how fast to advance, and the big world leaves room to explore characters and places at a slow pace.

Official news and community channels

The developer lists official pages for the game on YouTube, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram and Discord, where updates and news are posted. These are the channels named on the listing for following the game.
