Meet Fantastical Creatures

Creature Keeper is set in the magical land of Thera. It’s filled with creatures that players can train and then fight with in tactical combat. They’ll be on a quest to try and restore balance and end a sickness from bringing calamity to the world. Considering the magnitude of the task, it’s going to be difficult to save Thera alone. Players need to form a team composed of unique creatures.

To have a better chance when going against the Corruption, players have to level up their part while also learning new skills and buffs. They’ll also have to learn about Creatures from battles and experiences.
