About Monsters are Coming!
In Monsters are Coming! gather what resources you can to defend an ever-moving city. Are you ready to take on a never-ending army of darkness in a tower-survivor, action-rogue-lite on wheels?
- Fortify: The city must endure! Choose from a selection of town halls, place towers and create your own builds to maximise destruction. Equip defensive structures to repel monsters from the gates and keep the city moving forward, else the darkness will consume you!- Forage: Gather wood, stone and gold as a persistent, multi-tasking hero. You must constantly balance risk vs reward while fighting back endless armies of monsters. Stray from the beaten path to find richer rewards or keep heading due south towards the safety of shelter. - Fight: Beat Bad-Ass bosses, improve your abilities, overcome environmental obstacles and take charge of special weaponry to continually adapt your strategies. Or see your city turned to ash!
You’re the last hope for humanity, but it’s a long road to the Ark. - Build your city your way. Reach shelter and buy new districts from the city shop. Then strategically choose where to place them based on the needs of each run.- Defend yourself. Choose from a variety of unique Town Halls, then add archery outposts, necromancer towers, and even fire-breathing dragons to protect it from the dangers beyond the walls.- Unlock new possibilities: Find a build that works for you, keep upgrading and try to stay alive against increasingly powerful monsters the closer you get to the Ark!- Keep the city stocked: Gather wood to keep the engines burning and increase tower efficiency, chisel stone to help repair and rebuild, and mine gold to expand your moving fortress of destruction. - Never stop moving: Collect compasses at the end of each run and pay your attempts forward, making it easier for future cities to find their way to the Ark!- Explore for bonuses: Look for hidden secrets in shelters and tackle side hordes to find richer, rarer rewards. Just make sure you get back to your city in time!- Progress to Prevail: Level up, increase your potential through vast player progression, and protect the city at all costs, even at the hero’s expense!- The City Still Stands: Even if the Hero falls, it’s not game over! A run only ends once the city is destroyed, so quickly jump back into the fight before all hope is lost.- Bad Ass Bosses: Getting to the Ark won’t be easy and there may be some larger monsters waiting for you at the periphery…

Very fun but wish there were some free DLCs1 found this helpful
Very well executed Tower Defense concept with some nifty and novel ideas1 found this helpful
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5) Downloaded a monster game. Turns out my free time was the real monster. Monster Are Coming! nails the "one more run" addiction. You’ll start a quick session, get hooked on upgrades, chase the perfect build, and somehow lose hours. The pixel art is charming, the chaos is fun, and the gameplay feels smooth. It doesn’t reinvent the genre, but it delivers the satisfying loop of becoming overpowered before getting humbled. More maps and monster variety would help, but if you enjoy roguelites or survivor-style games, this is an easy recommendation. Pros: ✅ Addictive gameplay loop ✅ Fun upgrades ✅ Endless "one more run" moments Cons: ❌ Lost my sleep schedule ❌ Monsters weren’t the real threat Recommended. 8.5/10 (★★★★☆) Achievement Unlocked: "I’ll Stop After This Run" — Failed Successfully.
Hahaha Splat.
I've given this game a good playthrough and I'd say I thoroughly enjoy it. I'm still working on some of the harder challenges and it looks like the game has a roadmap of releases that I can look forward to, so I'm anticipating more gameplay ahead. It has an interesting mix of tower defense and bullet hell. I've enjoyed finding out the different combinations that work best on different maps and with different heroes, it's definitely the kind of game I can play a round or two. I'd recommend it for someone who enjoys games with a repetitive gameloop style game but with interesting unlocks and challenges.
So there is good and bad, the good is the mechanics are fun, plenty of different builds between characters, bases, and base addons and more. Once you find that right build its pretty satisfying. Now the bad, you can't save partway through a session, at least not that I could find. If you have a good run it can last for hours, which is cool but a little bit of a commitment. And it really sucks when you find a great build and play for about 3 hours in one run and then the game crashes and you lose all your progress. which isn't surprising because you can add alot to your base, I have a 4080 super and it still crashed on me. If they did find a way to fix that then this would be 8/10 but with the crash im giving it a 6/10
