About Monster Crown: Sin Eater:
Monster Crown: Sin Eater is a top-down, 2D Monster Taming RPG that aims to push the concept to its absolute limits. In Monster Crown: Sin Eater, the player will travel the world and encounter Monsters roaming the wilds. Each one has a personality; some will flee from the protagonist, some will give chase, some - the more sinister Monsters - will stalk the hero from the shadows.
Throughout the journey, the hero will explore towns packed with interesting characters. Another way Monster Crown: Sin Eater elevates the standard tropes is with branching dialogue and decisions that have a real impact on the game. How the story turns out is up to the player.
The Story
Monster Crown: Sin Eater’s storyline puts the player in the shoes of Asur, a young farm boy who has aspired to be a Monster Tamer his whole life, just like his big brother and the greatest Tamer in the Crown Nation, Dyeus. When his family is put in mortal danger, he must act to set things right, and in so doing will change the Crown Nation forever.
Asur's journey will see him pitted against Lord Taishakuten and his Holy Order, who have ruled over the Crown Nation for over a thousand years. Law is maintained by the Four Heavenly Kings and their Beastman Inquisitors, horrific fusions of man and monster created by esoteric and forbidden sciences to enforce peace by any means necessary.
Asur's quest will also see him cross paths with a few different factions, all of whom have a vested interest in seeing Taishakuten's order fall. Will Asur enlist their help, or will he stand against fate alone? The player’s choices will define the kind of world Asur creates for the people of the Crown Nation.
No matter what, though, players will have to be sure to build themselves a team of mighty companions. As it turns out, Asur won't have much luck going it alone!
The Monsters
As its title implies, Monster Crown: Sin Eater is all about Monsters. During their journey to change the Crown Nation forever, players will tame a diverse array of Monsters rendered in beautiful pixel art. With over a thousand unique, hand-crafted Monster sprites, and hundreds of palettes to choose from, players will no doubt find the ace Monster that's right for them (sharp-eyed tamers might even find a 1/1000 Brilliant Monster variants).
But that’s not all! While the world itself is geared for exploration, the same can be said of Monsters. Each Monster contains countless crossbreeds just waiting for the players to be uncovered!
Additionally, certain Monsters transform when exposed to certain elements. Trying new items on Monsters can yield very surprising results… With so many monsters, obtaining them all, their crossbreeds and their transformations (and the transformation's crossbreeds) is quite an undertaking. Will true collectors be up to the challenge?
