Apr 30, 2026There’s no question that it takes the monster training and breeding ball and runs with it in cool ways, and backs it up with a story that’s at least unique.

Apr 28, 2026Much like the breeding and fusion system at the heart of its teambuilding, Monster Crown: Sin Eater is a satisfyingly iterative improvement over its predecessor, refining the systems and strengths it introduced while tossing the things that held it back from being great. Deep party customisation, a surprisingly in-depth story, beautiful GBC-esque visuals, and a killer soundtrack all combine to make this one worth a punt, even if some growing pains with the open-ended design can sometimes drag it down a bit. I’d give this one a recommendation if you’re looking for something to ease your pain after the Pokémon Champions launch. Sin Eater was made with lots of love and hopefully will form the basis of more adventures in this fascinating world.

May 21, 2026Monster Crown: Sin Eater is the very definition of a “rough diamond.” I could name plenty of small-to-medium things that didn’t quite work for me in the 10 hours it took to reach credits, yet the look, feel, and sense of discovery make it stand apart from nearly every other indie monster collector I’ve ever played. If they make a Monster Crown 3 some day, it’ll really be something to watch.

Jun 22, 2026I personally would recommend Monster Crown: Sin Eater to fans of Pokémon. Would I recommend it over Pokémon? Absolutely not. It does still feel like “a poor man’s Pokémon” or a fan made Pokémon ROM hack at best. However, I still had a good time playing. I really enjoyed encountering all the different Monsters and crafting a team of 8 really cool looking ones, and I still haven’t even seen all the possibilities. Even my partner, someone who is not as big of a Pokémon fan as I am, expressed interest in trying it out. I’m excited to see where the story goes next and what else the Crown Nation holds for me to discover. Overall, its a good game in my books!

May 11, 2026You can immediately see where Studio Aurum learned from past mistakes in Monster Crown: Sin Eater. This isn’t to say the experience is perfect now. But it is far stronger than the previous game in many ways. With the feedback the team will likely get from this entry and a little fine-tuning, I could see a third entry turning into something special.
