Dec. 2024
Charming tower defense that will become challenging after a while Monsters Ultimate is the definition of an "easy to pick up, hard to master" game. The cartoonish graphics may sell the impression that the game will be casual, and at first it is, but completing all achievements is a great challenge. The core gameplay is really enjoyable and moving the character around to perfom all actions is a fun challenge, although I wish its walking was less slippery. I enjoy games that allow me to easily pick them up and play in short bursts, especially ones that play well with a controller, and Monsters Ultimate made me want to come back again and again, even when it got frustratingly hard. I'll admit, I had to use guides to get a perfect score on a bunch of stages. If the gameplay looks interesting to you, try it out. Just keep in mind that in order to complete this game fully, you will eventually need to understand monster types, their weakenesses and resistances, and get a solid grasp on the timing and choice of your actions, as well as the positioning of your towers.

Not fantastic, but has its strong parts and once you get the hang of it, it's generally fun to play.

tons of childhood memories with this game. From PSP, to PS Vita, and of course I needed to have it on Steam as well. I love how playful it is.

Casual fun tower defense game. Easy to get caught up on for hours trying to protect all your birdies. Too cute that the Tiki guy dances to make the towers stronger. Loved it on console and really loving it now that its available on PC.

Great for single or multiplayer. I started on the 2nd game and think this one is abit more charming. i love the slight artwork / style change up. The music in here is pretty soothing as well. Just make sure when you are online to put the server in your country or it might lag more than usual ~
