Riders


Since ancient times, there was a village that had its own independent development from the rest of society. The people of this village have learnt how to live side by side with monsters by using a hidden power, the Kinship Stones, to communicate with the towering behemoths.

Monsties


When a monster strikes, the fearful hide, but the brave? They ride. Venture into monster nests to collect eggs and hatch a wide array of species with uniquely powerful skills. Form teams, battle alongside them, crush opponents with combo attacks, and ride into the sunset a champion. Need more muscle? Then mix and match genes to create monsters with more abilities!

Story


When a monster infected by the Black Blight attacks your remote village of riders, tragedy will thrust you into an exciting yet dangerous world, where you must bond with monsters on your adventure.
