The Monarch

I was curious about The Monarch, since is heavenly inspired by one of my favorite indie game series, Kingdom, and they tried to follow the same formula, but in 3D instead of 2D. The Monarch has many problems, many bugs, and many stupid choices that made me quit this game for good: [list] [*]This game is tagged as rogue-lite, but all progress resets after dying in one run; [*]Softblock when playing with a controller: it could happen that on the level-up screen you can't select any power up, even changing to mouse and keyboard doesn't unlock the screen. Alt+F4 is the only solution; [*]Very often builders don't cut down a tree and they leave it hanging there for the rest of the run; [*]Motion blur can only be disabled by changing graphic settings from High to Medium; [*]Only one map, almost zero replayability; [*]The following is the most annoying bug: often enemies go through walls and kill all the units behind them, making the archers useless. [/list] Before playing The Monarch, I tried the demo and it wasn't as messy as the full game. Isn't it a little scummy? Don't buy this game, instead go play the first Kingdom game, available for free on Steam: https://store.steampowered.co…

Game is great and fun. But technical condition is terrible. While playing I had crashes, lost my progress several times, and it runs pretty bad on steamdeck. And the game is abandoned. No one will fix these things.

This game is cool, but too many bugs and things that dont make sense, got stuck at a lvl up screen and lost my progress

This is a 3D clone of a the Kingdoms games and it captures very well that spirit. It also adds meta-progression. While the game play is fun there are several critical issues I cannot go past: 1. keys cannot be changed in-game. I had to re-bind them using separate software 2. I had several instances where the game crashed and I lost all progression in a run. not fun at all. 3. after defeating the final boss it gave me no meta-progression for the run. 4. the path finding is terrible, quite often characters get stuck. Actually the main boss and its henchman were no treat for me because of the path finding issues.

Cool idea to make the Kingdom game into 3d, but this is so buggy. The camera angles and hitboxes make it hard to know when you are safe behind a wall, and you die in one hit if you have no coins, so some random arrow can take you out instantly without you even realizing what happened. And when you die, your save gets deleted so you can't even try again from the start of the day. I'm not sure if the game is worth it even when bought from a sale, because of how frustating it can be. The game seems abandoned as well, so I don't think these issues are getting fixed.
