Creature Keeper Reviews
Creature Keeper is a decent excursion for old-school RPG fans, but players seeking a more robust gaming experience may be left disappointed.
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.
Creature Keeper is an incredibly unique game that feels like a combination of Pokémon and The Legend of Zelda.
Overall my impression is that Creature Keeper has a lot of potential, and is an impressive accomplishment for a sole developer – and needs more time. However I was left disappointed by how significantly the bugs I experienced impacted on my gameplay, which is such a pity given how much Fervir has managed to achieve already. I would not recommend this in its current state and instead suggest we all wait and see. In recognition for what it gets right despite the bugs, 2/5 stars.
Creature Keeper demonstrates a promising foundation, but it requires considerable refinement to truly realize its potential and become a consistently enjoyable adventure.
Creature Keeper is a new spin on monster-taming, bursting with heart, clever writing, and a gameplay loop that kept me coming back for 'just one more creature
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.
Creature Keeper is an adorable creature collecting game that sets itself apart with its large number of mechanics and by encouraging the player to thoroughly get to know each type of creature.
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.
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.
