When topside, Ellie's pet will attack enemies and interact with certain out of the way switches and triggers, all the while his life gauge will drain constantly, and even faster if he comes under attack from foes. In addition - each form also has two unique special skills, that once mastered can be executed in any other form.Įllie can summon Chomp up to the upper screen with a press of a button. Each of the many visually distinct forms of Chomp have special attributes, like higher attack, defense, agility, endurance etc. Each object yields experience points that level up Chomp, and once he reaches a certain level, he is able to shift to another form.

There - Chomp spends his time interacting with objects left behind by vanquished foes. While the player character moves and fights monsters on the top screen, the bottom screen of the system is most often occupied by the monster sanctuary, which presumably exists inside Ellie's purse. Her health can be upgraded via collecting heart containers. Along the way she would also acquire various abilities such as a roll, wall-slide, uppercut and many others. Ellie, the player character is equipped with a long-range projectile in form of her plasma-firing bracelet, and a short range attack via a deadly purse. Monster Tale is an action/exploration platformer with RPG and virtual pet elements. Moreover the child-rulers see Ellie and her new pet as a threat to their reign and are actively trying to kill or capture our heroes. As she is looking for a way back home, Ellie soon discovers not all is right in the monster world - a group of bratty human children led by Queen Priscilla have taken over, and are ruling the land with an iron fist.

Young girl, Ellie, finds a strange, glowing bracelet in the woods, and upon touching it is transported to a magical world of monsters, where she befriends Chomp - a hatchling monster of unknown origin.
