Solo indie developer Sean Young (Magicite, Kindergarten) has announced Monsterpatch, an RPG focused on monster collecting. Inspired by classic Pokémon games, this title blends retro-inspired mechanics with farming and city-building elements. Players take on the role of a magical wizard exploring a floating continent filled with mystical creatures known as MoNs.
Armed with an ancient wand and a spellbook, the goal is to capture and train MoNs, battle rival wizards, and engage in activities such as woodcutting, mining, and crop cultivation. Battles are fast-paced and strategic, featuring a 4v4 system that allows players to customize their teams based on their needs. Beyond combat, the game also offers relaxing activities like farming and interacting with NPCs, who can settle in your town as it expands.
The Kickstarter campaign is set to launch on March 25, though the exact release date remains unknown. Monsterpatch is expected to launch on PC via Steam, with a likely release on Nintendo Switch as well.
