About this game
Unravel the mysteries of a lost civilization in this Monster Taming adventure. Inscribe your discoveries into a bestiary a tome preserving the forgotten lore of Yselion and the creatures that once walked alongside its people. With every entry, you draw closer to the truth behind a fallen empire and the Beasts that now roam its ruins. Hatch, train, and forge deep bonds with extraordinary companions as you face the legendary Star Trials. Only the fittest will endure.
Every Adult Beast can be ridden!
Raise over 100 fully animated Beasts, train them, and guide their evolution into powerful paragons.
Each Beast follows a unique path shaped entirely by your choices and care. Will your companion rise as a ruthless Tyrant, a noble Monarch, or a cunning Archon?
Venture into a vast, untamed open world teeming with secrets and lurking dangers. Chart your own path, riding your Beasts across perilous landscapes but tread carefully. One wrong step could bring you face to face with something far more dangerous than you ever imagined.
Your Beasts will be there to protect you from your enemies. Use your knowledge and instincts to choose the right skills at the right time and use the confrontations to dominate your opponents!
Beasts are more than just companions, they are part of an eternal cycle. As they pass away, the power they've acquired lives on, stored within mysterious orbs that can be absorbed by other Beasts. Through this endless flow of hearts and souls, the next generation grows ever stronger. Death is not the end, it is only the next step in their journey.
