How to Play Monster Rancher DS
Quick start
Summon a monster through a drawing or voice prompt. Check its starting statistics, choose one training session and rest when its condition calls for it before attempting an early tournament.
Controls
Use the DS stylus for drawing and ranch menu choices, selecting the statistic to train and the action to confirm. Speak into the microphone only for the voice-summoning option. In battle use the displayed movement and technique commands while checking range and energy.
Monster Rancher DS — About this game
Monster Rancher DS centres on raising one creature into a tournament contender. Generate a monster by drawing on the touch screen or speaking into the microphone, then choose training to improve the statistics that suit its fighting style. Training and events must be balanced with food, rest and the monster’s condition; pushing an exhausted creature is a poor substitute for a plan. Begin with the summoning activity, inspect the new monster’s strengths and choose one short training period before entering a manageable battle. During combat, watch distance, available techniques and the energy needed to use them instead of selecting attacks as fast as possible.
