PixelJunk™ Monsters 2

simply but satisfying gameplay, lovely art style, addictive gameplay

looks cool but it's poorly made. Extremely frustrating and filled with beginners traps. Most aspects seem way underdeveloped, like its more of a tech demo than an actual game. cool idea but there's probably better options.

Pure Remastered Nostalgia

Lack of coherence. It is a tower defense, so a casual game. I enjoy that style sometimes because it is relaxing, but that does not make me expect much neither of a game. Yet I played some TD games on a tablet back in the day that kept me hooked longer than this one. The visuals are just okay. The presentation video makes it look more engaging than it really is. The more you play, the more you uncover elements of gameplay and cosmetics. There are no links between the elements you uncover and the universe. Neither visually, nor in their origins, nor through any story. This tiki universe with its wooden masks and shields first introduces old-style Spanish cannons and ballistas… why not. Then quickly, you obtain a hive releasing attacking bees, laser cannons, or a futuristic-looking ice cannon. With no introduction to them, nothing that makes acquiring them fun or meaningful. No, they are just there to support the game type, not to be coherent with the universe. Let’s get something that slows down enemies. A mud cannon? No, that would be too imaginative and would match the universe. Let’s just add a freezing cannon from another game we never released… Lazily inspired. The bosses, at least the first three, are big bronze statues. Not very nice looking. They progress slowly and can absorb lots of hits. They spit minions similar to the ones you stopped before reaching the boss stage. The monsters are spiders, some sort of acorns, flying acorns, others are rock golems… Here again there is a lack of inspiration that could have brought some coherence and build an universe. I don’t give it a thumb down. It can still amuse the most casual players for a while. Also because I spent less than $2 on it during a 90% off sale. Paying more for it, I would have been unhappy

Very nice co-op game, camera is sometimes zoomed in too much but we can handle the inconvenience as we need to save all the chibis!!!! nice music <3

I don't like menus performance, I need this absolutely sharp. All the interfaces here are fading in and out, in this game. That's really bad, I don't like it. Despite the graphics this game's pretty hardcore among TD genre, devs should perfectly understand how important controls in such a stressful gameplay

fun
