About this game

The master acquires different spells depending on the tribe chosen.
Players can summon different kinds of creatures such as humans, elves, barbarians, trolls, skeletons, angels, demons and other kinds of monsters depending on the alignment chosen (Law, Neutral, and Chaos).
The game adds an RPG element to the series by focusing solely on its campaign, allowing players to form or break alliances with other alignments or even be neutral to all of them.
Compared to its predecessor, monsters can't be summoned during battles so they have to be purchased before jumping into the action.
Master of Monsters Final gives players the possibility to explore the maps as much as they would want to even after defeating all the masters.
There are 4 endings available to the players based on the alliances they make during gameplay.
This game ditches the anime style of the former games and ramps up the difficulty, while also adding a MIDI soundtrack and changes to the overall interface, making battles occur in a top-down perspective.
In addition to that, the Windows version overhauls the graphics and music, improves the script of the story and fixes some of the event-related bugs of the PC-98 version, such as the inability to create a synthetic monster.
About Sega Genesis
Known as the Mega Drive outside North America, the Sega Genesis (1988/1989) was Sega's most successful console and Sonic the Hedgehog's original home, fueling the "console wars" era against Nintendo's SNES. Genesis cartridge collecting is well-established: common sports and platformer titles are affordable, while sports-license and later-era games with smaller print runs can carry a meaningful premium.
Gamevaro tracks Master of Monsters for Sega Genesis with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Master of Monsters to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GEN release dates back to 1991.
