Monstrous Reviews

Took the money and then dropped off the face of the earth. Don't bother.

all I need to say really is you can play as a monster. it is in ea so yes it need work but they have good Foundation down .I talk with some of the developers and they are putting there heart and soul in to make this game work .what I got and read from them is they like use to help build the game with them

[h1]No updates since November 2018, don't buy until you see more activity[/h1] Old review: [h1]Monstrously good promise[/h1] Let's hope it delivers. Game has beautiful models, tight controls and great aesthetics. It really brings the dark fantasy Victorian setting to life. Controls (the most important part of a brawler imo) are good and tight, I got into them in no time. Sadly enemy AI still need to get better. Game is far from finished, and I've [b]found a bunch of glitches.[/b] Let's hope this game keeps up in the direction it's going, and doesn't fall short of the big promise the devs are making. If you want a finished game, I'd recommend you to wait and see how the game develops. [b]I appreciate this running natively on Linux[/b], I really do.

EDIT: first update came today (1.5 gbs) which added music to the game which is a much needed change. Not sure what else has changed as twice now i have gotten to the marked npc and disappeared through the map while fighting him, which left the game camera spinning where i had last seen my character. I still dont recommend this game, but know now that the devs are actively adding things requested .. Well see how they smooth this game out for now its rough edges are still too prominent.. ORIGINAL (BEFORE EDIT): WOW..... Thought i found a hidden gem with lots of cool influences (moonstone, vampire bloodlines) but instead i found a very low quality alpha game with a great amount of potential. Game has a good setting, cool characters but for a melee based game the melee is clunky with all characters, there are hardly any animations (even for an alpha the animations lacked, like jumping roof to roof feels empty and not fun due to no sound and bad animation). The graphics on all highs leaves more to be desired, and on top of that the settings are bugged and take many clicks to change just one option. Overall i believe 10 dollars would even be a bit much for this game, but 20 dollars? Come on, might as well have made this free to play before release as a closed alpha type deal, and then release this to steam, the way it was handled by pushing it to steam without even having good animations, no music like in the trailer, and poor melee combat really makes the project look like a cash grab. Overall i am not liking this game, i have only played single player but i imagine theres not much more fun in multiplayer , especially if i have to fight some other player with these clunky combos and unfluid animations. I wont recommend that you buy this game just yet, if it turns out to NOT be a cash grab then this will be a good purchase--- but ONLY after it gets polished a bit , i mean come on that awesome music in the trailer isnt even in game, in fact theres NO music to help you immerse yourself in this otherwise somewhat interesting world, and all quests are simple "kill and collect" quests, the rivals mode is a good idea but most ppl will look at the coop option and believe it is in game right now and purchase on that alone...
