For those unfamiliar with the franchise, "Monster Rancher is a pet (monster) raising sim that began in 1997. It differs from other Pet taming games in that it plays very much like a sim with the nuances or a creature having multiple life stages from Baby to Prime to elderly. Your budget is your Monster's lifespan + your money to try and accomplish the most you can during your short time with the monster. Monster's can also be bred (fused) so that babies can inherit attacks and attributes of it's parent(s). Battles are also in Real Time instead of turn based. Your resource continuously builds up over time in the match (how fast varies based on breed or mixed breed), your attacks consume an amount of this resource to execute, and attacks have designated distances in which they can be used as you maneuver close/far from your opponent to position for a given attack.
Competitive battles are held AI v AI since the only way to hold manual battles is to be in the same room on the same console. The meta is to engineer your monster's attributes, attacks, personality and traits so that it performs the best it can while hopefully eliminating as much bad choice that the AI can make as possible.
Monster Rancher is a fairly niche game with a rather small community when compared to other franchises. Monster Rancher 2 DX (On Switch, Steam, iOS) is easily the most popular game in the franchise and the most played. However, we just want more people to play with, and UKMR is a niche within a niche. The competitive scene is very welcoming, no one is holding back information to gain an advantage, we want other players to perform well for exciting matches, so you can expect lots of help from the community even as a new player or new competitor.
Hope to see you on the Ranch!
