The battles are now based off of comparing stats instead of the traditional fighting system. There are missions that unlock items, some missions include raising your class and adding Monsters to the in-game wiki. Adventures return as well, and work in the same basic fashion of the previous games (however your Monster will not tire when on one). Monster generation is done via purchasing disk stones from the shop for some breeds. In addition, many features require the player to pay cash (such as buying some items and resting, though your monster can rest if you wait a couple of minutes while not doing anything). The basic method of training and fighting is still present, but there aren't any animations for either. My Monster Rancher differs slightly from the traditional gameplay style of the series. My Monster Rancher (known as One Million Person Monster Farm in Japan) marks the first time the Monster Rancher series was released to mobile platforms.
