Monster capture/taming games on Steam ? (Resurrection)

First :P please comment your ideas for a tag here

Second :P please comment games that fit into this sub-genre but isn't on the list above yet

It doesn't have a steam page yet but Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth Complete Edition is coming to steam on October 18.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/807060/Void_Monsters_Spring_City_Tales/

It's a little bit buggy but I like it :)

I will say that after the bs of ooblets when they went to epic, I doubt they'll actually come to steam as their page would presume

I would add Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered. Doesn't have a store page on Steam yet but it should release on September 20.

Apparently the second game doesn't have this mechanic, maybe it would fit in the Honorable Mentions category. Haven't played it so I'm unsure. Ni no Kuni™ II: Revenant Kingdom. Seems like there's creatures called Higgledy which you can find through out the world and they can passively help you in battle.

Yes, it would be nice, because then you can identify and skip them easily when you see them. ;)

I wish Square Enix would release Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker on Steam much like the Final Fantasy 3 DS port. There's already interest on Steam for DQ games what with the Heroes titles and XI, as well as the new interest generally due to The Hero being added to Smash Ultimate.

Monster Sanctuary
This game just became available on steam early access.

Self bump, decided to go with Monster Taming as the general consensus through the discussion is that this should be the applied tag along with a few devs also agreed with this, please do tag these games as Monster Taming so that we can easily get games like this in the future through the tag system :).

Sakura Dungeon

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Geneforge Saga added to the list :)

re:legend ? looks like rune factory

Here's 3 that aren't mentioned here yet.

Moekuri

SRPG where you end up capturing more units throughout the game to use in your party.

Final Fantasy X-2

The remaster is based on the International version which had a Creature Create mode where you lay traps across the game world to capture fiends, then you can feed them items to teach them skills and power them up. They can also be used in the party and you can completely ignore the main characters and have your party just be fiends but will be AI controlled. You don't have to use the system, but it is there and is very overpowered eventually. The fiends even have special stories for most of them, and you can get extra items by finishing them then releasing the fiend.

Final Fantasy XIII-2

Yet again, you can capture most of the monsters in game and use them in your party(though only one at a time). AI controlled monsters, player controlled main characters.

Bookmarking this discussion ^^
Don't Starve allows you to raise Beefalo although I've never managed to tame one myself. You also sort of tame the pig people by giving them food.

World of Final Fantasy?

I know it's not steam but Pokemon is going to get some direct time today for Sword and Shield.

Updated, added FF10-2 and FF13-2

Final Fantasy 10-2
Final Fantasy 13-2

Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch release date 17th September.
