Monster Keeper!

We released the new Relics of Chaos update for Monster Sanctuary on Steam! This is a free update that will be downloaded automatically for anyone owning Monster Sanctuary (including anyone who already owns it as well as anyone who purchases it at any time in the future). It is also the last major content update for Monster Sanctuary and a love letter to you - our community - before we move our focus towards our new game Aethermancer.

Thank you for playing Monster Sanctuary and enjoy bringing CHAOS to the Sanctuary!

Relics of Chaos Game Mode



The new Relics of Chaos game mode is another optional game mode. You can combine the Relics of Chaos game mode with the other three game modes added with the Forgotten World DLC (Permadeath, Randomizer and Bravery) and with the NG+ mode. As with the other game modes, it is not required to beat the game to use it - you can turn on a setting in the options to use them.

Relics of Chaos adds a new type of equipment called "Relics". These 39 relics are extremely powerful equipment with over the top effects. But... they come with a catch!



You will find one random Relic in one random chest in every area in the Sanctuary. The chest that gets replaced with the Relic chest as well as the Relic that it contains gets randomized with every seed, making it a treasure hunt and - especially together with the other game modes - makes Monster Sanctuary even more replayable!




Quality of Life Changes


We also added several quality-of-life features to the game, giving our best to give Monster Sanctuary that final polish and to listen to what you asked for the most:




Note from the creator of Monster Sanctuary



It has been a long Journey from starting Monster Sanctuary as a hobby project, working on it in my free time, to being able to work on it full time, to having a small team of developers by now. Right from the start before even releasing the first demo, this was always a very community driven project. It was natural that we give back by releasing all the free updates for the game post launch. We are two and a half years past the full release of the game by now, five years since the release of the first demo. Working on this update took a lot of my time, while the majority of the team was working on our new project. I felt like letting the Team down, not being able to focus on the new project at all times. This is going to be the last big update for Monster Sanctuary. I hope you enjoyed the Journey as much as we did!
