Hamster has announced the release of Master of Monsters: Disciples of Gaia for PlayStation 5 and Switch 2 on May 14. This simulation war game, originally from 1997 for a 32-bit console, will arrive at a price of $11.99 or 1,200 yen. The story follows Iros, a young man who receives celestial power to defeat the ruler Gaia, summoning creatures and upgrading beasts with the help of the Master.
Classic emulation with modern features 🎮
The Console Archives series brings this classic to current platforms with technical additions that enhance the original experience. Players will be able to customize button layout, activate rapid-fire settings, and use multiple save points. These options aim to adapt a turn-based strategy title to contemporary gaming habits, eliminating the rigidity of the era's save systems. The version maintains the essence of the original, but with improved accessibility.
$11.99 to revive the monster war 💰
For $11.99, one could buy an artisanal latte or a pair of generic brand socks. Instead, Hamster offers you to summon otherworldly critters to crush the tyrant Gaia. Of course, the price includes the nostalgia of 1997 and the ability to save the game before a boss wipes your progress. A steal if you consider that losing progress in the 90s was part of the charm.
