Play Shiren Monsters Netsal (J)(Rising Sun) Online
You feed random monsters to recruit them, then dive into shifting dungeons where your weird squad might get wrecked by floating eyeballs—or come out stacked with loot. Simple combat hides some smart positioning tricks once your team clicks.
Shiren Monsters Netsal is a Japan only Game Boy Advance release from 2000, developed by Chunsoft. It arrived in the middle of the GBA's life, a time when developers were still figuring out how to best use the hardware for deep, portable adventures. This game is a spin-off from the Mystery Dungeon series, focusing on monster collection rather than the traditional roguelike exploration.
You control a young boy who explores randomly generated dungeons, but the core activity is catching monsters. You don't fight them directly; instead, you throw food to befriend them, building a team that fights for you in simple, turn based battles. The main goal is to delve deeper into each dungeon, managing your party's health and hunger while navigating trap filled floors. The pacing is deliberate, and the difficulty can be punishing, as a wrong move or an unlucky encounter can mean losing your entire monster collection for that run. It feels like a constant gamble between pushing forward for better loot or retreating to keep your strange, temporary family alive.
