Monkeys & Dragons

You’re in an alternate universe that is much like our own, except that this is a world of warriors, bards, adventurers and magic, along with seemingly normal people like Lana (our hero) & Jack (her husband) who have taken a cruise to an exotic tropical island for their honeymoon. As they arrive at the island, they are admiring the beautiful scenery that lay before them on the beach, when suddenly out of thin air a man appears, and he seems to know Jack! When you ask him who he is, he claims to be your husband’s ex-boyfriend. Then as suddenly as he appeared, he disappears, taking Jack with him. Confused with what just happened, you regain your composure and realize that you must save Jack. Our adventure now begins as we explore the beach for clues that may help us in our quest. Gathering whatever items we can, we will move deeper into the island's interior in search of Jack. Monkeys and Dragons was released and self-published on Apr 2. 2019, by the developer Benjamin Rommel Games, this is their second release on Steam. This is a casual, point & click adventure that also has puzzle-solving elements built into it. It is presented in a comic/cartoonish pixel art style and has a lot o…

[h1]TL;DR[/h1] Monkeys & Dragons tries to be a point & click adventure game like the classics, but fails in pretty much every aspect. Don't buy this. [h1]Summary[/h1] You assume the role of Lana. At the start of the game, you and your husband arrive on a tropical island, where your husband is taken away by an "evil powerful sorcerer". You then embark on a quest to free your husband. Visually, the graphics are very mediocre, or even bad. The game features pixel-style art, but not in a pretty nor a consistent way. Perspective is wrong, there's no color-grading, graphics when you enter a building or room are very "in your face" (i.e., sprites are way too large) and there are many graphical glitches, such as the main character passing through other characters or appearing to be floating around (in the throne rome scene near the end of the game). Everything feels very unpolished, litterally rough around the edges, where even old adventure games often had a way of "smoothing things over". The UI is very annoying; a large part at the bottom of the screen is reserved for buttons and your inventory. The inventory features two rows, even though at no point in the game will you be carryin…

This is by far the worst game of all time. Anyone who likes to play this game needs to get a life and grow up, unless your a kid and then I can see that you would like this. It has the worst music of anything I have ever heard and the characters are so freaking retarded they make me want to hurt someone. If I could I would flat out slap the creator in the face

I bought this thinking I was getting a Monkey Island homage. Instead I got a mishmash of assorted references, fourth wall jokes, and unintuitive puzzles. Then towards the end the game forced me to complete a Sudoku puzzle (I hate Sudoku) which I had to use an online Sudoku solver to get past just to finish the game.

I'm sorry. This game is just not worth your time. I really wanted to like it, it has decent art and good ideas but really should've been made with a real engine and not this buggy mess of one. There is no ending with credits. Just a single easy miss line of dialog and no animations or anything else. You still play but have no guidance that the game is actually OVER! It's just an unfinished mess that could've been half way decent. I'm guessing it was just too hard to fix and they gave up. Shame. I don't mind owning it just to further the development of games in my favourite genre but YOU don't have to do the same. There are plenty of finished amazing point and clicks out there worth your time!

It really says something about the quality of a game when it is easily outdone by every adventure game from thirty years ago.
