Monster taming roguelite Aethermancer from moi rai games, the developers behind the hit game Monster Sanctuary, is set to launch on Steam Early Access on September 23, 2025. The game, published by offbrand games, combines creature collecting, turn-based strategy, and the unpredictable nature of the roguelite formula.

In the game you play as the Aethermancer, a powerful warrior with the ability to recruit and tame mythical creatures. The core gameplay loop involves leading a team of monsters through the “fractured ruins”, fighting to defy death and escape. Battles are strategic, 3v3 turn-based affairs that require careful planning and mastery of each monster’s unique elemental skills.

The game’s replayability is driven by its procedural generation and roguelite mechanics. As players delve deeper into the ruins, they will unlock new player classes that bend the rules of combat. Both the player and their monstrous companions grow stronger with each new life, creating a satisfying sense of meta-progression that makes every run feel more powerful than the last.
