Montabi Devlog Update - August 2026

Montabi: Monster Taming Roguelike Deckbuilder Demo · published 39 days ago

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hi Trainers,

This is it, only 5 days until launch!

Before anything else, we just want to say thank you to everyone who has tried our demo, wishlisted the game, shared feedback, or simply followed our development journey through these devlogs. Your support has meant the world to our small team.

As we get ready for launch, here are a few things we'd love to share with you.

Montabi Launches on August 6!

The wait is almost over! Starting August 6, you'll finally be able to dive into Montabi, experiment with different team synergies, discover your favorite creatures, create ridiculous builds, and hopefully conquer Ascension 10 with every Trainer.

If you enjoy the game, we'd really appreciate it if you could leave us a Steam review. Reviews make a huge difference for indie developers like us, helping Steam recommend Montabi to more players around the world.

And if you think there's something we can improve, we'd love to hear from you. Feel free to reach out through our Discord server, the Steam Community Hub, or any of our social media channels. We're committed to making Montabi even better with your feedback.

Join Our Discord Community

We've recently improved our Discord server, and we'd love for you to be part of it.

Whether you want to share feedback, report bugs, discuss strategies, or simply hang out with fellow Trainers, our Discord is the best place to connect directly with the development team.

Also Available on Consoles

On August 6, Montabi will also be available on:

  • Nintendo Switch

  • Nintendo Switch 2

  • Xbox Series X|S

  • Xbox Play Anywhere

If you missed our console announcement, be sure to check out the Console Reveal Trailer!

Pre-order here:

  • Nintendo eShop

  • Xbox Store

Supporting 9 Languages

Even though we're a small indie team, we want as many players as possible to enjoy Montabi. At launch, the game supports 9 languages:

  • English

  • Simplified Chinese

  • Traditional Chinese

  • German

  • French

  • Spanish

  • Japanese

  • Korean

  • Bahasa Indonesia

150+ Pages Artbook and 22 Original Digital Soundtrack

Launching alongside the game is our 150+ page Digital Artbook and 22-track Original Soundtrack, both available as part of the Deluxe Bundle.

Montabi has truly been a labor of love. Every illustration, animation, and music track was created by our incredibly talented artists and composer. From the earliest concept sketches to the final soundtrack, everything was crafted by human hands with passion and dedication.

If you're interested in seeing how Montabi came to life or simply want to support the team even further, we hope you'll consider picking up the Deluxe Bundle.

What’s Next?

During our July Community Playtest, we received a lot of valuable feedback. There were many quality-of-life improvements we'd love to include, but with launch only days away, we simply couldn't fit everything into Version 1.0. That doesn't mean we've forgotten about them.

After launch, we'll continue listening closely to your feedback and prioritize improvements based on what the community needs most. Whether it's bug fixes, balancing adjustments, or quality-of-life updates, we're committed to supporting Montabi long after release when the game is doing well.

Looking further ahead, we'd love to continue expanding the game with new content, perhaps new Montabi, Trainers, Elites, Bosses, Charms, Equipment, and maybe even DLC.

That's our dream. Really wish the game is doing really well.

For now, though, our biggest hope is simple: that you enjoy Montabi and create countless memorable runs with it.

Thank You

Building Montabi has been an incredible journey, and we couldn't have done it without all of you. Whether you played the demo, wishlisted the game, reported bugs, shared your thoughts, or simply cheered us on from the sidelines, thank you.

We'll continue doing our best to improve Montabi and make it a game we're all proud of.

From everyone here at Mankibo and Akupara Games.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

We'll see you on August 6, Trainers! 💛
