Press release:
Rotterdam, The Netherlands – 12 October 2021.
The Netherlands -based indie games publisher/developer SOEDESCO and Canada-based indie games developer Studio Aurum, are today very proud and excited to announce that the full version of their monster taming adventure/RPG “Monster Crown” is now available for PC (via Steam) and the Nintendo Switch (via the Nintendo Eshop).

During this period, the game has gotten over 40 updates, including 10 content updates that added portions of the story to the game, new monsters, features and new regions.

Studio Aurum Founder Jason Walsh couldn’t be more proud of the 5-year passion project:

“As a kid who grew up playing monster taming games, the idea of making my own and one day releasing it to the world was something I didn’t dare dream. But thanks to the love of our backers and support of SOEDESCO, this dream has become a reality. If you want a truly content packed monster taming game, this is the game for you.”

To celebrate the launch, SOEDESCO released a brand-new trailer that highlights what Monster Crown is all about: breeding over 200 base monsters to create more than 1200 species, making pacts with monsters for shelter in exchange for their protection, and journeying to restore balance on Crown Island from an evil ruler that is seeking power.
