Monster Rancher, known in Japan as Monster Farm
(モンスターファーム, MonsutÄ FÄ mu), is a series of life
simulation role-playing video games created by Tecmo (now Koei Tecmo).
The series consists of fourteen games across different video game
platforms. The series has been adapted into an anime. A remaster of
the first installment is planned to be released in Japan in
2020.Before the world's continents broke up into pieces, a huge
disaster hit the world. People prayed to God for help, and God created
new life forms. However, new life forms brought new troubles, so God
became exasperated and sealed them in "disc stones". Many years have
passed since then and God entrusted the humans with the secret of
"disc stones". Today people still continue searching for these missing
"disc stones" to unlock the lifeforms within.It is said that the "disc
stones" are almost impossible to find among the ancient ruins. It is
said that one monster is trapped inside each one. One day a group of
workers excavating the ancient ruins happened to dig up one of these
mythical disc stones. The worker who first discovered a disc stone
took the disc to the Monsters' Temple. There the priests, using the
ancient methods, unlocked the monster inside the disc stone. In a
place where ranchers and monsters coexisted peacefully, the battle of
the monsters began! As time passed these monster battles became
extremely popular, and monster breeding became the standard pastime of
the land. Eventually disc stones were found around the entire world.
Now ranchers across the globe come together and enter battle.Monster
Rancher is often compared to Pokémon, though the two series play
differently. While the Pokémon games are traditionally
collection-based role-playing video games, Monster Rancher games tend
to be simulated animal breeding games. The genre Monster Rancher
occupies is shared by other simulation virtual pet games, such as
Digimon, and games based on raising horses for racing, like in the
Gallop Racer series, also by Tecmo.
