Monsters and Monocles

[h1]200 character summary[/h1] Monsters and Monocles is a great rogue lite twin stick shooter with a lot of weapons, items, different biomes and random generated floors. You can play the game with up to 4 players locally or online. [h1]Story & Characters [b]7/10[/b][/h1] The game starts with a small intro without dialogue, so this is my intepretation of it, There is some Wizard? and when he opens a pot ghosts fly out and strange phenomenom happen. Then the 4 playable characters read about it in the news and decide they are the ones to fix it. I think the drawings are very nice, but how does that wizards mansion explain the forest, tomb or city, And how does it explain the Dog with a Gun? You do collect fragments every time you kill a book, 4 fragments create a page which tells a bit about the story, But they are cryptic at best. I hope they will put in a bit more lore, a bit more mystery to uncover. The characters are nice and unique, but they lack a backstory and some personality, L...

They are terrible at communication. I wouldn't waste money on this until you are sure they will finish it as it seems they are just throwing it in the corner and forgetting about it.

I'm very excited to see the progress of this game, it's already fun to play. The dev has been responsive and helpful when I've posted bugs.

you pay more than for Nuclear Throne and equivalent to enter the gungeon, and the product is... underwhelming. i wanted to like this game, i really did. but its just no fun

First impressions are important, and this is a [u]good game[/u]. If you like Gungeon you will like this game. Despite being in early access this is a well rounded and somewhat polished game. While being in early access it does indeed lack some content and alot of pollish, as the game stands it is very enjoyable, challenging, and fun. Down below is a list of pros and cons as well as a video of gameplay. [h1]Pros:[/h1] [*]Fun gameplay [*]Good game design [*]Artwork and music good [*]Large variety of enemies and three bosses to fight (so far) [*]Controls are tight [*]Decently challenging [*]Many fun and unique weapons to choose from [h1]Cons:[/h1] [*]A few bugs [*]Not too much level and content to see (Early Access) [*]Not worth the money as it stands [*]Single player is lacking, better off playing with friends https://youtu.be/6uWXBzx0j8A

the game is super un-finished and not fun.

Ok. In 2 hours, I loop the game so I basically beat it, right? That's it?

I was quite hyped about this game when NorthernLion reviewed it on youtube. I went on steam, bought it, and kicked back with a friend and started playing. In the beginning, it was OK. The graphics and gamplay was an obvious inspiration fro Nuclear Thrones. The gameplay was smooth, the guns are decent, and the 3 maps that were given are decent. That's it. Two months later, I found this game somewhere in my folder and decided to see if it had any changes. It had not. The gameplay is horribly short. The story... wait, what story again? The guns and pickups are repetitive. You lose EVERYTHING after you die, and there is no way for you to save your progress. Take the binding issac for example, the game forces the player to play over and over again to unlock more stuff. As you progress through more levels, you get more powerups, you get better tears, and you actually feel powerful. Yes, this game allows for you to use your coins to purchase powerups after you finish a level, but the po...

if you think this game is better ot same taste with nuclear throne or enter the gungeon, No it's not. You can find much of gun here, but still not look different. you almost don't know why my health was reduce. No sound notice you have been hit, or somehing else. Boss, look no variant too kill player. Since it's on early access, I hope this game can be better than this.

If you want to play a different Enter the Gungeon, go play Synthetik instead of this.
