About Monolithic


A War of the Gods



A new world dawns and the gods fight for sovereignty over the land and its inhabitants. In Monolithic you guide a pantheon of gods and their followers through time. From the dawn of creation to the fires of the apocalypse. Raise your civilization from the sand, build your forces, and grow your influence over humanity. Siege enemy settlements with armies of your followers and break their monoliths with devastating abilities.

Features

  • Play against your friends on Steam.
  • 6 Unique gods each with unique abilities.
  • Powerful ultimate abilities.
  • Vibrant visual and sound effects.
  • Single player tutorial.


Command Deities, Build a Civilization


The power of the gods is at your command. Select three gods from a roster of six to be your champions. Each god has unique traits and abilities that support domain and character of the deity. Different combinations of gods open new play styles and strategies to experiment with. The players start the match with their selected monoliths and a small cult of followers. From this small group, you will lead your followers to expand to new settlements, fight against your foes, conquer territory, and brave the flames of the end times!


A focus on Strategy


Monolithic emphasizes strategy over fast reflexes. As centuries pass both players methodically grow their civilizations and use their abilities to gain the upper hand. The game is won through proper use of devotion, cities, and time. Monolithic is less about actions per minute and more about how resources are managed. The focus for the player is when and where to use an ability, rather than on landing skill shots.


The End Times


All beginnings must have endings. The world and its inhabitants are fragile compared to the power of the gods, and the war they wage will tear the world apart. If the conflict is not ended swiftly, the world will end, and all of humanity will perish in the flames of the end times. As the last follower dies, so too does the deity, for a god is nothing without devotion. But perhaps even the end of the world can be leveraged with the right strategy.

[quote][b]Note: Dead PvP game[/b] This game contains no meaningful single player content. There's no viably populated servers/active player population. This game cannot be played as intended.[/quote] "Monolithic" is one of literally thousands of student projects infesting Steam. It's from Champlain College in Vermont. While student projects tend to be better quality than most "amateur" made games, we must still question what value such projects have for gamers. As with all student projects, this isn't really a fully fleshed out game, it's just the result of an academic exercise, and as such it has much more limited value as a game than a professionally developed game would have. Educational institutions should not be using Steam as a dumping ground for homework assignments (especially if the students didn't even pass the course). Sure, it helps their marketing and helps the students feel good about themselves, but this is another case of a business putting themselves before the needs of gamers. The students made an unusual entry into the somewhat deprecated RTS genre (being largely subsumbed by MOBAs I guess), where you control the monolithic statues of deities and go figh…

Игра Monolithic предлагает уникальный опыт, сочетая в себе элементы строительства базы и roguelike. Вы управляете огромным двигающимся монолитом, который служит и домом, и оружием. Процедурно генерируемые уровни каждый раз бросают новые вызовы, заставляя адаптироваться к изменяющимся условиям и тактически использовать ограниченные ресурсы. Постройка и кастомизация монолита - ключевая часть геймплея. Размещение комнат, энергетических установок и защитных систем влияет на выживаемость. Приходится постоянно балансировать между добычей ресурсов, расширением базы и отражением атак. Боевая система проста, но эффективна. Улучшайте вооружение и используйте возможности окружения, чтобы расправляться с врагами. С каждым прохождением открываются новые улучшения и возможности для монолита, делая каждое новое забег более интересным. Несмотря на пиксельную графику, визуальный стиль игры приятен глазу, а мрачная атмосфера добавляет шарма. Monolithic может похвастаться высокой реиграбельностью и сложной, но увлекательной системой развития. Игра предоставляет возможность почувствовать себя кочующим городом, постоянно эволюционирующим в борьбе за выживание.
