Monster Legends

What Monster Legends is and who it suits

Monster Legends is a free-to-play strategy RPG built around collecting, breeding and evolving monsters. The listing shows more than 50,000,000 installs and a PEGI 16 rating. It is aimed at players who enjoy putting together a team, working through long progression systems and taking part in competitive battles.

The game centres on a roster of over 900 monsters, with new species added every week. Battles are the main way you test that roster against other people.

Breeding and evolving a monster collection

You breed monsters to produce new ones and evolve them to make them stronger. The listing describes these two steps as the core of the collection side of the game, which is why new species keep arriving to add to it.

Because the roster is large and keeps growing, most of the collecting happens over time rather than in one session.

Building teams from roles and elements

Each monster has its own set of skills, an elemental type and a role: attacker, tank or control. The listing says team composition matters as much as how strong any single monster is, so you pick monsters whose roles and elements cover each other.

Mastering the elements and roles is how the strategy side of the game develops. The listing describes the depth of this system as growing the more you play.

Real-time PvP battles against other players

The game includes real-time PvP battles against players from around the world. This is the competitive part of the game, and the teams you have built are what you bring into it.

Battles depend on an online connection because they pit your team against other people's teams in real time.

Building and growing a monster island

Alongside battles and collecting, you build your own monster island. The listing presents the island as a place to develop over time as your roster grows, though it does not detail how the building itself works.
