Additional Screenshots: Sketch your monsters. The goal of the player is to become the ultimate monster rancher by raising, training and fighting your monsters within tournaments. Once created, monsters need to be trained, with skills in specific areas that will be important in battle according to the player's whim. This can be done either by sketching within the 16x16 space grid of "Magic Field" mode, prompting the creation of a monster in the upper screen of the DS, or within "Incantation" mode players can simply speak into the DS' microphone to call up monsters programmed to appear off specific audio cues. Combat consists of one-on-one battles that take place in limited rectangular grids, with monsters using different attacks which allow them to move forward and back. View larger.

Friends can also combine their monsters to create exciting new types through a local connection.
