Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Pocket Beasts is built around seasons: new themed beasts, a rotating seasonal PvP ladder, and a long-term cultivation system that rewards steady play. That kind of live design can't be balanced in a vacuum.

We're launching in Early Access so we can tune auto-battle balance, dungeon difficulty, and seasonal PvP alongside real players — and grow the bestiary based on what the community actually enjoys collecting and mastering. Your feedback directly shapes the numbers.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“About 6 months to a year.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version release will expand on what's already here rather than replace it. Planned additions include:
- More seasons, each with its own roster of exclusive themed beasts
- Additional stages and late-game progression
- More dungeon difficulty tiers
- Expanded seasonal PvP features and leaderboard rewards
- More synergies, equipment sets, and quality-of-life polish
- Broader localization coverage
Throughout Early Access the core loop — collect, cultivate, battle, climb — stays intact and fully playable, with regular updates landing between seasons.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Pocket Beasts is fully playable today. The core loop is complete:
- 100+ mythical beasts to collect across nine races and multiple rarity tiers
- Hatching, evolving, and reincarnating your favorites
- Over 30+ synergies for team building
- Turn-based auto-battler combat
- 15 dungeon difficulty tiers, up to the Hell and Asura realms
- Idle progression with offline earnings
- Async PvP with a standard long-term leaderboard
- The first seasonal content cycle
Some systems — particularly late-game cultivation balance and seasonal PvP balance — are still being tuned. Expect balance swings, rough UI edges, and occasional placeholder text as we iterate.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We're not planning on changing the price when we leave early access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback is the entire point of this Early Access. Concretely:
- We plan to run balance surveys and read every bug report and forum thread
- We will explain why numbers changed in the patch notes, not just what changed
- We plan to announce balance changes before they ship, so you're never blindsided
- We plan to maintain a public roadmap and update it as priorities shift
You can reach us on the Steam Community Hub. We're a small team, but we endeavor to read everything.”

About This Game

Pet Master is a creature-collecting idle strategy RPG steeped in the rich mythology of the Classic of Mountains and Seas (Shanhaijing). Tame over a hundred mythical beasts — from humble spirits to legendary Divine and Celestial creatures — assemble your team, and watch them fight for you, even when you're offline.

Collect a Living Bestiary

  • 100+ collectible pets spanning nine races and every rarity tier, from Common to the radiant Celestial.

  • Build Synergies — 30+ bond effects let you pair beasts by element, lineage, or divine grouping for powerful team-wide bonuses.

  • Hatch, evolve, and reincarnate your favorites to push them past their limits.

Strategy That Plays Itself

  • Turn-based auto-battler combat: you set the team and tactics, your beasts handle the fight.

  • Many dungeon difficulty tiers, from early trials to the nightmarish Hell and Asura realms where only the strongest survive.

  • 18 equipment sets and deep pet scoring let you min-max your roster.

Idle Progression, Zero Burnout

  • Offline earnings keep your account growing while you're away.

  • The Cultivation Realm system introduces a whole new power axis built on Chi (spiritual energy) — a fresh long-term goal beyond leveling.

Async PvP & Leaderboards

  • Challenge other players' stored defense teams on your own schedule. No real-time pressure, just pure strategy.

  • Climb the standard PvP leaderboard for long-term, all-season glory.

  • Each season also opens a seasonal PvP leaderboard — but it can only be contested with that season's exclusive new themed beasts, so every season reshapes the meta.

Seasons That Keep Coming

Pet Master is built around regular seasonal updates. Every season arrives with a fresh theme and a new roster of exclusive themed beasts to collect and master — keeping the journey evolving long after you've cleared the core content.

Built for Every Player

  • Fully playable single-player — your progress is never gated by others.

  • Asynchronous multiplayer adds competition without the stress of live matches.

  • 2D presentation with a relaxed, collectible-friendly pace.

Pet Master is a strategic idle RPG. Collect, cultivate, and conquer — at your own pace.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Pocket Beasts uses generative AI tools to assist in the creation of some visual assets, including creature and character artwork, in portions of the game's text and localization, and in some of the game's sound, including background music. Not all assets are AI-generated; some artwork is sourced from purchased assets. All AI-assisted content is reviewed and edited by the development team. No content is generated live during gameplay — all assets are pre-rendered — and the game does not connect to any external AI service at runtime.
