Launch Window“An off-beat monster collector romp through unfunny writing and cathartic action that has enough passion on display to warrant a pass, but struggles to plot its course beyond that.”

Launch Window“As far as monster collection games go, Creature Keeper is certainly an interesting one that does things differently than other titles in the genre. However, bugs and poor AI on the monsters themselves kept me from fully enjoying the experience and made my monsters feel more like pets than valuable combat companions.”

Launch Window“Creature Keeper is a promising attempt and the monster collecting genre. Unfortunately, combat and rather shallow collection mechanics keep this game from reaching the true potential promised by the premise.”

Launch Window“Creature Keeper is a charming yet flawed adventure that struggles to fully deliver on its potential. While it offers a heartfelt story, colorful creature designs, and a robust creature management system, its enjoyment is frequently hampered by technical issues, clunky combat, and overall incomplete feel. There’s a genuinely fun experience here, but it’s one that’s constantly interrupted by bugs and unfinished features.”
