All aboard the adorable train

Re:Legendis an RPG about raising monsters, farming, and generally chilling on a tropical island. Its developer, Magnus Games, just launched aKickstarter, and while I don’t usually report on crowdfunding campaigns until after the goal gets met, this game is too stinking cute to ignore.

According toRe:Legend‘s Kickstarter page, the game draws inspiration fromMonster Rancher,Digimon World, andFantasy Life, among others. Players wash up on an island without any memories and before long, they’re taming and raising adorable creatures (called Magnus), tending crops, and battling enemies. From what I can tell, it’sMonster RanchermeetsRune Factory, and I am more than down with that.

What interests me most is the Kickstarter’s mention of cooperative multiplayer.Re:Legendwill support up to four players, all of whom can work together by divvying up the different chores required to keep their island community running smoothly.

Re:Legend‘s Kickstarter page has plenty of other information about the game, including character customization details, villagers, and its impressive musical pedigree (composers fromKingdom HeartsandMetal Gearare contributing to thesoundtrack).

I’m an absolute sucker for both slice of life sims and games about raising monsters, so it’s safe to say thatRe:Legendis officially on my radar.
