Evaluation
Monster Souls: Chains of Chimera launched on October 23, 2025 as a complete, self-contained JRPG. Following launch, the developer (inputHero) released a series of patches through November 23, 2025 addressing balance issues, bugs, quality-of-life improvements, and minor feature additions — the kind of post-launch polish common for indie releases. There are no DLC listings, no announced expansions, no roadmap, and no developer statements about future content. The developer's last communication was on November 23, 2025. The store description presents the game as a finished story-driven experience with no mention of planned additions. All post-launch activity appears to have wrapped up within the first month after release, consistent with a game that launched as a complete product.

About this game
Guide a virgin adventurer through a wild journey of self discovery. Harness the power of transformation and master the skills of monsters in this challenging JRPG inspired adventure. Experience an involved story and learn more about the world as you travel through a wide array of beautiful environments.
You won't be going alone though, companions will join your party along the way. Develop their abilities as well as your relationships to help you survive the trials ahead. Will you be able to develop a deep bond with your one true love or maybe spend your time with as many men as you can find?
A quiet warlock's apprentice, Ash wields two daggers and dark magic. At first reticent about accepting help with his mission, he quickly comes to show interest in the Hero due to his unique powers. Can you win his heart, or will he be brooding alone?
Lyric is an archer with magical bardic powers, allowing him to heal and empower his allies. When Hero comes to his rescue, he vows to aid him in his journey... but the truth of his origins is shrouded in mystery. Will you help him to open up, or will his secrets spell doom for his (love) life?
Monster Souls has deep turn-based RPG battles that require strategic thinking to utilize a wide range of abilities. Defend yourself from monsters that want to defeat and dominate you-in that order... or surrender to them and let them have their way. Gain the power of monsters through intimate contact, and learn how to use their own forms and abilities against them for your victory!
