Monsters are real, and as a Shadow Master you have the power to control them. Around the world, five secret factions are fighting a hidden war using their own monster forces, and your survival depends on building a crew capable of beating theirs. Travel to major cities, clash with rival Shadow Masters, capture new monsters and rare artifacts in each location, and evolve your team into something that can win the endgame. Strategic planning, team composition, and knowing when to fight and when to wait determine who survives the global shadow war.
