About Monstrous
Monstrous offers a fresh take on directional melee combat and what a game with a strong combat focus can do in greater context. If you have enjoyed the fighting pace of Dark Souls, the dueling gameplay of Jedi Academy, the world building of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver & Vampire: the Masquerade Bloodlines or have fond memories of looting your friends' graves in Moonstone: A Hard Day's Knight we would like to invite you to join us on our journey to breathe new life into the "rivals on a quest" formula in a new, dark fantasy world undergoing industrial revolution.
SKILL BASED, ROBUST MELEE COMBAT
We are bringing competitive fighting game mechanics to the 3rd person action adventure genre. Dodge incoming attacks and aim your blows in skill based melee combat without target locks. Apply pressure to guard crush opponents, employ zoning tactics, block and counter attack enemies to turn the tables and punish turtling foes with grabs. We have built a solid backbone to make a respectable fighting experience accessible and playable in the 3rd person action format.
DIVERSE CAST OF PLAYABLE MONSTERS
Classic Gothic horror characters and villains are presented in a dark graphic novel art style. Player characters with signature fighting styles, powers & skills bring their own approaches and solutions to gameplay scenarios.
SESSION BASED, "ONE MORE GAME" FORMAT
Take on the dangers and secrets of the city in adaptable, short and long play sessions. You can also invite Steam friends to take over other monsters in play for a game night with your buddies, or join other players on the Steam network via quickplay if you prefer a multiplayer experience.
THE CITY IS YOUR PLAYGROUND
Prowl on rooftops to ambush foes, discover items and collect lore bits. Complete shared quests, defeat random encounters and compete for power as you get closer to the final showdown in the ancient heart of the city.

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? Co…12 found this helpful

[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.4 found this helpful
