About Monster Tribe
Akama. A lone island, sitting in the middle of an endless ocean, and the site of a magical phenomenon known only as the Rift. It was once a source of limitless power for humanity through magical creatures called the Ateyan. Capable of incredible and wonderful feats of magic, they lived alongside humanity for centuries - until something destroyed this harmony.
The Ateyan disappeared, becoming motes of light on an almost deserted island. Human civilizations crumbled, its formerly great cities and industry reclaimed by nature. Generations passed in the shadow of ancient splendor. Then, something happened: The Rift began consuming the island, threatening the survival of humanity's remnants.
Monster Tribe puts you in the shoes of humanity's last hope, a sage born with a natural connection to the Ateyan, capable of calling them forth from the void between the real world and the Rift. Set out across Akama, collect an army of Ateyan, train them, and unearth long-forgotten secrets. Why did Akama fall? What caused the Ateyan to disappear into the void? Can the rift be stopped?
Can a single human make a difference?
The vast island has a long and terrible history. The disappearance of the Ateyan destroyed human civilization, leaving behind precious few survivors - and an endless array of secrets waiting to be discovered.
Awaken the Ateyan! Living within the void between the real and the Rift, they can be seen as motes of light floating across the island. Use your connection to awaken them and harness their power once more!
Explore ancient ruins and foreboding wilds. Gather resources to upgrade your equipment and help the awakened Ateyan grow and train - you'll need it.
Uncover lost lore and terrible secrets of those who came before. Can you survive long enough to reveal the frightening truth of what happened on Akama?
Nature has reclaimed Akama's great cities from humanity and it will not relinquish its conquests easily. Neither will the Ateyan simply surrender after centuries of peace from mankind.
Command teams of monsters in turn-based combat: Battles take place on a grid, where teams of up to four Ateyan square off against one another. Think, strategize, and prevail!
Develop a mighty team capable of facing the Rift. As your Ateyan gather experience, manage their development using a flexible RPG-style character system.
Overcome the ultimate challenges, entering the ancient Towers that dot the landscape of Akama. Face vicious monsters and solve complex puzzles to unlock the island's mysteries!
- Vast island to explore where nature reclaimed the ruins of a once-mighty civilization.

✦ AI summary
Players appreciate the core concept, art style, and creature design, but the game is plagued by technical issues that severely hamper enjoyment. Frequent crashes, performance drops, broken saving systems that force restarts, and confusing gameplay mechanics that lack proper explanation are major complaints. With the developer apparently inactive for years and no signs of fixes incoming, most players express frustration that a potentially good game has been left in a broken, unfinished state.
Overall premise is good, art style is ok, creature design is pretty good; *conceptually* this *could* be a good game. Everything else, tho? Kind of a mess. Even ignoring glaring performance issues like the frequent crashes and random drops in frames which, on their own, make the game a pain to play, at times; a lot of the in-game systems would benefit from more detail, both in how they're implemented and in how they're explained to the player. This applies to everything from the tool upgrade system, to the battles n action effects, etc. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like these issues will be fixed any time soon, if ever.
Played a bit under an hour after the game crashed. Lost most of game time due to no autosave or regular save info? Decent concept for the game, confusing and some actions don't always work. Dev has not been active in fixing things from almost 2 years. Refunding, not going to bother with this.
This game is very buggy for some reason. 1, The game keeps crashing when I attempt to save. It forces me to start all the way from the beginning. 2. When the game launches it is in a beta version even though the game shouldn't be in beta. 3. The game is responding to my controller even though it says it supports both my steam controller and my Xbox controller. Other than the crashing it was an enjoyable game from what I played.
Monster Tribe is an ambitious indie RPG developed and published by Boundless Games that attempts to merge creature collection, tactical turn-based combat, exploration, and light survival mechanics into a single cohesive experience. Set on the mysterious island of Akama, the game introduces a world that once thrived alongside magical creatures known as Ateyan, only to be left in ruin after a catastrophic event tied to a destructive force called the Rift. Players take on the role of a sage capable of bonding with these creatures, venturing into a broken land to uncover its history, restore balance, and rebuild a fragile connection between humanity and the monsters that once defined the island’s ecosystem. At its core, Monster Tribe revolves around exploration and discovery. Akama is divided into multiple biomes, each offering different resources, enemy types, and Ateyan to encounter and collect. Movement through the world is steady and deliberate, with an emphasis on gathering materials such as plants, minerals, and relics that feed directly into progression systems. These resources are used to upgrade gear, improve tribe facilities, and unlock new possibilities for the creatures un…

Developer not only seems to have abandoned this project after kickstarting it, but I'm not sure if they're even still developing games in general.
