Monster Monpiece Reviews

This company is pretty money grubbing. For a card game to have an additional online store is probably not uncommon, but it is something that leaves a bad taste in one's mouth after one has already had to pay to buy the game in the first place. I very much disapprove of such behaviour in a game company. If this game were free to play that might make more sense. Another thing I have issue with is the card power up system "Rub", in which you spend farmed/grinded points to activate, but sometimes the "power up" turns out to be a loss of an important ability or a drop in stats or increase in cost as well, or a mix of any of the above, and there's no way to undo the effect if you dislike what was done, meaning the loss of use of a potentially extremely rare card. Aside from that I enjoyed the gameplay, The music is not horrid, but doesn't stand out either. The Voice acting is good and they should be praised for that much. Storywise though it feels often like the character's behaviours and thought processes are a bit forced and could be described as "archetype simpletons" and illogical and poorly thought out plot twists that makes the characters seem more like ditzes incapable of basic problem solving. There is a noticeable lack of story elements like foreshadowing, plot devices, rivals etc.. it makes me expect a failure of a deus ex machina even though I haven't gotten through the story line yet. The main character and her companions lack of intelligent thought processes and the uninteresting dialogue is also really hard to stomach, to the point I might stop proceeding with this game. I'm tempted to try and explain further but at least one spoiler would be necessary. I can't be 100% certain but the game's world seems to be 100% females, or matriarchal and all the males are conspicuously absent. I don't know if compile heart just didn't have the heart to put an actual writer into this but it is quite a sad jumble considering the effort that was put into the art and graphics. Overall Rating: 3.8/10 Story: 1/10 Characters: 1/10 Gameplay: 6/10 Artwork: 7/10 Music: 4/10

Best card game i have ever played so far, not that i played many card games tough. But the way of how to play it was very intresting and new to me. Pro's: -Great gameplay -Many different cards that can also be upgraded -Good Sound Track -Intresting story with nice plot twists in it and some good comedy Con's: -No Multi-player Also dont listen to those horrible reviews about online in app purchases, because you dont need those cards to complete the game and after you complete the story you can buy many new card packs for 1g ingame currency wich is really cheap and with all card packs you can buy with ingame currency you are also able to unluck every single card in the game.

If you like card games you will like this game. Pros: -Good gameplay -Good voice acting -Good artwork -Great music Cons: -Long, drawn out cutscenes -English can be bad at times(However this is for minor things like card bios and in the tutorials.) -If you don't have a gamepad you will have to figure out some of the controls yourself -Limited 3D models

Probably the only card game that I've seen that offers this type of gameplay, the only one that really comes close to this is Plants vs Zombies Heroes, but even that's a huge stretch, not to mention for completely different audiences of players. Using a 3 lane system, you put down characters to swarm the other player, taking advantage of the game mechanics and card synergies that come with any card game. Though the game does have a throwaway story, one-dimensional characters, odd typos and other random nonsense that show a lack of polish, the gameplay is more than enough to make up for that, and makes deck building quite fun as a result. If you can also get past the fact that the game has gratuitious fanservice around one of the game mechanics, you can find a diamond in the rough and get quite a few hours of fun from this game. To those who complain about the microtransactions in the game, its barely noticible. There is exactly one button in the entire game that leads to the shop, and I didn't know its existence until I actively sought it out. I've mostly played the game with the cards that the campaign provides, and have yet to even spend any of the earned ingame currency to pull cards. Another detail I would like to address is that there is no multiplayer in this game. I am personally fine with that as there is no shortage of digital multiplayer card games. The current version of the game is quite relaxing to play as, taking time to decide moves without having to wait for the other side to take their turn. Overall, if you can ignore all the minor flaws, you can find many hours of fun along with a decent execise in deck building.

First off the game is uncensored, so yay for that! Now, there is some confusion over the cash shop being in the game. Yes it's there, and some have gotten it to work, but the important thing to point out is that the cash shop packs can be aquired for 1g in game currency after the main campaign has been completed, it looks more like something left in because it would be more work to properly remove it than an actual attempt at P2W, which admittedly was attempted in the vita version. Also, voice pack DLC has been included in the game.

Look.. elsewhere for a grind. This used to be multiplayer, now it's not. Guess what remained? The ability to buy card decks in an in game store with real money. Overall Review: DEATH BY SINGLEPLAYER MICRO-TRANSACTIONS... Absolutely not.

Mirotransactions in a single player only game? Why? - no fucking thanks Also: - no res supported past 1080, 1440p or 4k out of luck. - cut content: no multiplayer in this version of the game. - I understand mirotranactions when the game has severs to maintain but in a single player game? Fuck that This is the second time I have not bought this game, first on the vita and now pc.

Okay, I am writing this mainly because I want to address one pressing issue: the hate on the microtransactions. The game is fun, its rather simple, its not a traditional tcg, you get cards out of packs which is nice, you build a deck which is nice, and then the gameplay itself is kind of like a castle defender game, except both sides are sending their troops forward. Its quite nice. From what I can see, there is no pay wall, cards are all avaliable and not even hard to collect. the packs are inexpensive, you can actually sell your duplicates which is a really nice feature, money isn't really that stingy, so yeah, it might take a bit of time to find your SS cards, but its not like it will take months. days maybe, but not months. The story isn't much to write up about, but we get uncensored anime card art that is fairly cute in design. The rub minigame is a bit tedious/a pain, but there is items and work arounds for it so, really its not even something worth complaining about unless you are nit picking. For as long as the game is single player, the microtransactions is basically DLC at your own discretion, and it certainly isn't necessary to gain cards. after 5 hours, I have quite a large selection of cards and no problems beating the computer. Actually, after buying a couple of the "rare cards" I can honestly say they aren't very good, the free cards make up the bread and butter of my deck, and while the "premium" cards are cool, they aren't really that great for overall strategy. They are strong I guess and make a nice boss card, but they don't really synergize well when they cost like 10 points to summon

Pros: 1. Awesome performance 2. UNCENSORED 3. Works well even when mining Cons: 1. No Multiplayer - Ok i can handle that 2. ONLINE SHOP - WHAT?!?!?! It asks you to pay for cards on a SINGLE PLAYER ONLY game! So its either grind out the cards or pay for them! That is too low and greedy. This alone is earning it the Thumbs Down and refund. When they made an effort to remove content by cutting out Multiplayer then they could have made an effort including those packs as a sure drop when battling bosses like normal SP games. I will be downvoted for sure but I just don't like to support any game that has a paywall on a SP only game. If we allow things like this then I fear for the future of OUR games Just to clarify - I am NOT saying this as a whole is a bad game. It was actaully good\fun for me with the first few games I tried and I might have continued to play the game and be merry I am simply pointing out that I dislike making us pay to get cards faster which IMO was due to it having Multiplayer but since they cut out that content I would have expected that the game should have been updated reflecting that change ________________________________

I bought this game in a sale for 3,99€ and i really enjoyed my time playing the game. If you are uncertain if you should buy this game, I hope my review can help you decide. [h1] Story [/h1] The story is quite interesting for the beginning at least, after that it kinda lost its way by repeating stuff and too much forced exposition. [h1] Gameplay [/h1] You have 30 to 40 cards in your deck and start with 5 or 6 cards in your hand each match depending on if you start first or second. Each round you get 3 Mana which you can use to play your cards. You can get extra mana by special abilities from your cards or by playing cards of the same "Aura" in subsequent turns. You are restricted to play 1 card per turn. After you summon your card it is out of your control. This brings a nice balance of being in and out of control. I found this to be very unique and I didn't see any other card game taking the control of your monsters away after you summon them. The gameplay hooked me the most in this game. It is satisfying, strategic and succeeds being unique. [h1] Characters [/h1] Most characters were pretty good, like May, Fia and Elza. Then there were the really obnoxious characters, like your teacher or the villain. [h1] Art [/h1] A lot original and well drawn artworks. Over 50 different illustrators worked on the cards so there are a lot of variations in style and technique. [h1] Microtransactions [/h1] Pretty useless actually. I bought one for the luls 0.99€. The cards were not particularly stronger and I got them a little later in the game anyway. So you don't need to worry that you miss out on anything by not purchasing these tempting named card packs. Super Rare Card Pack Plus 3rd, was the one I bought I believe, in all caps of course lul. [h1] Multiplayer [/h1] The Multiplayer got removed in the PC port. feelsbadman.png
