Controversy
According to the game developers, there was pressure from the publisher not to feature a young female lead.
This choice was actually somewhat controversial with some publishers. Our experience was that many publishers are looking to avert the risk of a main character that hasn’t been proven to capture large audiences. As a result, there was some concern from publishers that Ellie should change to a male or a more mature/sexy female.
Reception
Monster Tale received "generally favorable reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Critics praised the game for its sprite-based graphics, interesting combat and its action-platforming similar to the Metroid series.
Remake
On March 29, 2015, DreamRift announced that a 3DS remake for Monster Tale is in the works, and promised that it will improve "every single aspect of the adventure."
