When the scene shifts to the side view perspective for battles, things get nicer looking. The overworld layout is clean, and you do get more detailed images of the monsters you have selected in the lower right corner (as well as info on that monster). Not exactly graphically wowing, but as a nice touch the silhouettes change as your monster advances in levels.

As they sit around a table in the poorly lit room, the masters wonder why it is they have been summoned. In the land of Mana, Gaia, the Prime Minster of Magic, summons the five masters of the disciples. So was Master of Monsters a forgotten gem to be dug up, or a turd best left buried? Read on.

Where Herzog Zwei quietly kick started the real-time strategy genre, Master of Monsters heralded from the era of turn-based strategy games.
