As a seasoned adventurer and monster trainer with decades of experience under my belt, I’ve seen my fair share of fantasy realms and their various inhabitants. The concept of Monster War intrigues me greatly, for it presents an interesting twist on the usual power struggle among monsters and trainers.
If you attach “mon” to a mix of random letters, it’s likely you have a game about monster taming. Even though there are countless such titles, only a few manage to stand out as potential alternatives to replaying Pokemon yet again for what feels like the thousandth time.
These mobile games are surprisingly fitting, considering the typical game formula. They offer a leisurely pace, turn-based mechanics, and an emphasis on training/grinding, making battles intriguing due to their complex twists. Additionally, it’s entertaining to discover unique creature concepts that game developers have yet to showcase.
Monster-taming games usually have you as some kind of animal professional who either wants to study them, raise them, or train them to do something specific. This requires time, effort, and care if you want to earn the trust of these monsters and not be seen as a monster yourself.
As a gamer, I find myself always ensuring my in-game characters stay safe and strong, ready to fend off any threats that come their way. Perhaps, this toughness will prepare me for a transformative quest that reveals our interconnectedness within a vast, uncharted universe. If you’re yearning for exotic realms teeming with peculiar creatures to explore, tame, and traverse together on thrilling escapades, then these games could be just what you seek!

Even though Neopets is still around (look it up), it is not the premiere monster-based title when it comes to mobile. The top spot arguably goes to Neo Monsters, a game about new monsters and that’s a good start. There’s more of an emphasis on the human characters which have chibi and anime design, looking like they don’t need fantastical monsters to wield otherworldly powers.
However, these monsters possess a power greater than any other in this world and you are training to bring it under your control. In addition to all the typing and battling, these monsters can evolve so many times that you’ll never know if this is even their final form. Gives you a lot to look forward to as you grow your team.

You’ll need to put in the hours to tame and collect all these cute and cool monsters so you can reap the benefits of idle training, battling, and scavenging.

Nexomon is confident in being a Pokemon-like game but explicitly made for the gamer on the go or someone who just prefers mobile. Nexomon: Extinction is an entry that tries to raise the stakes and make things far more dangerous. The world of Nexomon is in peril due to Tyrant monsters destroying the land, so you need to step up and become the Tamer Guild champion. There are nearly 400 Nexomon to meet and tame while you explore a colourful world facing crises. Fights are one-on-one affairs with defined strengths and weaknesses, but that won’t make it any easier to come out on top.
6 Monster War

Genre: Action, Adventure, Strategy
Find out more about Monster War
With all these powerful monsters wandering around these fantasy realms, you would think that widespread conflict would be inevitable. Monsters would fight each other for territory and monster tamers would fight each other for control, but Monster War is a bit different. In this game, things are simple: There are evil dark purple monsters that want to destroy everything and other monsters have to stop them.
You should group these monsters into teams in such a way that their abilities work well together and cover different strategies. They will engage in battles automatically, growing stronger over time. It’s crucial for you to assist them in evolving by providing food and investing personal time with them, which helps them become stronger not only physically but also emotionally.

Genre: Action, Adventure, Strategy
Find out more about Monster Masters
You can find plenty of anime about monsters fighting each other, but games tend to focus on 3D and pixel animation to present that. Not Monster Master though since they’re going for a more anime style when it comes to their fighters unleashing their true powers. You’ll start as a fledgling monster trainer with dreams of becoming a master with an army of powerful fighters. You’ll need to spend time in the wild to build and train up your team so you can take on other trainer teams to get some real growth. Though each monster already has its own look, you can make them your own with additional customization so that you can show up to the fight in style.
