Monster capture/taming games on Steam ? (Resurrection)

To answer your questions, both games have Chao gardens, no other games on Steam have them (only games outside of the Adventure series that had them were the ones on GBA, and those never got ported), as to how in-depth the mechanic goes... it's Tamagotchi on steroids. Also, the characters themselves are still used in the franchise but the gardens are probably never coming back.
BTW, I think Nights Into Dreams also had some sort of early version of the Chao, back when Sonic Team started to mess with the concept.

Hell yeah! Haha, Digimon is coming to pc later this month :)
No announcement of what launcher it will be though -_-
If it's on Steam then hell yeah !!!! Can't wait!

Just finished it a day ago. Absolutely lovely game. <3

Love the Chao Gardens, I especially loved finding them doodling on the ground after taking a Drawing Class, lol. I was always mad when I gave one the wrong animal and messed up their looks, though. Or when one of my favorites left a egg and "died"... :'(

Hm not sure if this qualifies as your really only taking over a creature until it dies or you leave it, from what I understand, so it doesn't qualify for the monster taming tag. In my opinion at least.

Hmmmmmm, well in MHW you do "capture" small creatures to display them in your house, there's that as well haha, but I feel like applying the monster taming tag to the game would upset a lot of people because there are these cool monsters and you can't capture them to use them, only to harvest them differently haha. It's a kickass game though :P.

I'd say the Binding of Isaac definitely qualifies as an honorable mention as it is a mechanic, had no idea that was in the game though.

Ragnarok Online would also qualify as an honorable mention.

Pit People was actually mentioned to me before but I completely forgot about adding it to the list.

A new monster rancher game !?! I must see this !
Going to google that right now !

PS it seems like the tag would apply to Paper Sorcerer as you do get monsters on your team that you can fight with so excellent :)

PPS a Shin Megami Tensei game on Steam would be amazing :P

Monster Rancher HD?
Looks like a port of the PS1 game?

The fact that your collecting people makes it more just a normal RPG or JRPG style at that point and not really monster taming.

The whole point is to capture and use them, in MHW you just capture them to get additional materials.

So it doesn't fall into the Monster Taming category as you aren't using the monsters at all.

THE closest MHW has to "using" the monsters is to display the critters you have caught in your room, but even then it's just for display purposes.

Hmmmmmm ... I'm not 100% sure if this qualifies because the taming is once-off per beast and then you just summon it ... if we include this then we can just as well include all the Final Fantasy games where you beat a monster/mirage and then afterward it gets added as a summon ability. But that doesn't really qualify as a Monster Taming game, in my opinion, feel free to give your feedback, this is a discussion so if you feel like my point of view is wrong then I'm more than willing to hear you out more :).

I was thinking about FarCry 5 now as well, where you get the dog, cougar, and bear, you need to do a small mission to get them and then you just set them as a companion and they come to fight with you, the only difference between that and FarCry Primals system is that in Primal you first need to track the animal, weaken it and convert it to your side, but you can just have one of each... so I don't know, Primal sort off more leans towards Monster Taming than what FarCry 5 does...

Awesome, thankyou Kokkol.
