The time is here my friends, it's Content Pack 6! Featuring:

• Story Expansion
• Casino Games
• Plenty of new monsters
• Isotope Therapy

Those are the highlights, but each needs a little explanation!

Story Expansion

Remember when Dania told you you could visit the Duchess' Garden? You can go ahead and visit her now, the guards will allow you through. You can take on the Duchess and see if you have what it takes to beat her Super Gro'd Cobreo, or visit her garden to locate many new rare monsters, these are ones I've had requested a lot so I hope you enjoy. You'll encounter a guardian to the inner sanctum, later in the game you'll be able to access this inner sanctum to meet monsters designed by our Kickstarter backers.

Casino Games

Now that two Hooper sisters in Desperadod have been... terminated... you'll be able to access the electrical city of Nio Kio. While there you can enter the casino and play some Casino games, Run Apo Run and Gorgem Gorge! They're a fun little minigame where if you get good (very good) you can actually make a profit!

New Monsters

While I won't spoil all the new monsters, one monster you'll be able to get your hands on is Serket, a special monster with a special ability. Serket's ability, Serket Protect keeps Serket's magical stat in a loop. If it drops below 0.8x it'll shoot up to 1.5x! Additionally, if you power it up beyond 1.5x it'll loop back down to 0.8x.
Odd ability right? Well, it makes it so Foes can't totally destroy his magical attack stat without accidentally powering him up, but also, if you have an attack you love but it comes at the cost of a magic debuff, it might be right at home on Serket. Any attack dropping your MAG stat by more than 20% will actually produce a 50% GAIN! It can make for some twisted strategies, so be sure to try it out. This ability is in effect for any monster with Serket's body type, so basically, if you breed with Serket as long as Serket is the primary the offspring will keep this ability (with the default gene).

Isotope Therapy

Ever ask yourself, why do monster taming games have evolution? Well, of course it's primarily so that your early game monsters can power up and still hold their own later in the game. In Monster Crown we don't have normal evolution and early game monsters are easily outclassed, which is fine if you get straight into breeding but what if you got really attached to that Laz you tamed at the start of your journey?
Enter ISOTOPE THERAPY. This radioactive therapy allows your monster's stats to "evolve" and be brought up to par. This can be done as freely and as often as you wish at no cost, it basically calculates a fair strength level based on your tamer level (you know, the one you boost by beating chiefs) and brings the monster up to that level. By tamer level 5 or 6 perhaps even your starter is due for a boost. It was important to me to add this feature because while breeding, fusion, and taming new monsters are a ton of fun, sometimes you just have a total bro that pulled you out of a tough spot in that decisive battle. I know I get attached and it's sort of a trapping of this genre to bond with your monsters, so if that describes you, you're really gonna love this feature. It can be located just north of Appenton (check the map in the above pic!). You may have to do complete a couple of challenges first though ;) I hope you all have fun with this expansion and I think after playing it, you'll get a bit of a sense for what's coming next in the story!
