About this game

Nuumonsters is a nostalgic, Gen-1-inspired Creature Collector RPG. *Recently completely rebuilt from the ground up and re-released via free update in 2026 — same charm, sturdier foundation.

The Hana Region

Explore the quaint and adorable "Hana" region, consisting of flavorful routes and towns. Defeat Elite Trainers to unlock new areas and continue on your journey. With 70+ monsters and countless moves, players have a lot of teambuilding options to indulge in as they level up their favorite monsters to take on enemy trainers with.

Disclaimer:

Nuumonsters is a short and sweet monster tamer, with it's art and charm being the main selling points. This game originally released 5 years ago and served as the solo developer "Yano"'s very first game. In 2026, it was completely remade from scratch, though it's original simplicity was maintained mostly unchanged from the original.

That said, the remake has produced a fully functional RPG with 70+ Monsters, though admittedly lacking in story or depth. As it stands today, this is a super charming game, with a breezy adventure rather than an epic story — if that's the trade you're looking for, Nuumonsters delivers it.

Nuumonsters vs. Nuumonsters Classic

The original game has been preserved and is launchable via steam launch options. After hitting play, you'll be able to pick which one to launch. While Nuumonsters Classic is just as charming, it's recommended that new players play the remake, unless you intend to play both versions and compare differences.

*Saves from Nuumonsters Classic cannot be picked up or continued in the remake.
