Monument is a game that proudly wears its inspirations on its sleeve. Developed and published by Andrei Ivashentsev, this independent first-person shooter channels the spirit of the genre's formative years, delivering an experience built around speed, reflexes, and unrelenting combat. Rather than chasing contemporary trends such as expansive skill trees, cinematic storytelling, or multiplayer features, Monument focuses entirely on providing a concentrated dose of classic FPS gameplay. From the moment players enter its strange and hostile world, it becomes apparent that the game is designed for those who appreciate the simplicity and intensity of old-school shooters. The setting is deliberately surreal, throwing players into a collection of environments inhabited by an assortment of unusual enemies. The game's descriptions emphasize a world where aliens, monstrous creatures, and even absurd foes like evil chickens stand in the player's path. Monument doesn't concern itself with extensive lore or character development, opting instead for environmental variety and constant forward momentum. Each stage introduces a different atmosphere, ensuring that exploration remains engaging even when the objective is straightforward. The absence of a traditional narrative may disappoint players who enjoy story-heavy campaigns, but the game compensates by maintaining a brisk pace that rarely slows down. Combat serves as the foundation of the entire experience, and Monument excels when it places players in the middle of chaotic firefights. Its weapon selection includes familiar tools of destruction such as shotguns and automatic firearms, alongside more unconventional additions like plasma-based weaponry and improvised rifles. Every encounter demands movement and awareness, encouraging players to keep running rather than hiding behind cover. Enemy groups frequently attack from multiple directions, creating scenarios that feel reminiscent of classic arena shooters. The game's difficulty can be demanding, particularly in later levels, but overcoming its challenges provides a satisfying sense of accomplishment for players willing to master its mechanics. One of Monument's defining features is its teleportation gun, an inventive addition that elevates the game beyond simple nostalgia. This device allows players to instantly transport themselves to any visible location by firing at it, introducing an entirely different dimension to movement and level navigation. It becomes an invaluable tool for escaping dangerous situations, reaching hidden areas, and experimenting with combat strategies. The mechanic injects a level of creativity that keeps the gameplay fresh throughout the campaign. While some levels make better use of the teleportation system than others, it remains one of the game's most memorable ideas and helps establish its own identity within the crowded field of retro-inspired shooters. Visually, Monument adopts a minimalist presentation that prioritizes clarity and atmosphere over technical sophistication. The environments range from dark industrial spaces to strange, almost dreamlike landscapes, all rendered with a style that recalls an earlier era of PC gaming. The graphics are functional rather than impressive, but they effectively support the game's tone. Sound design also deserves recognition, as weapon effects and ambient audio contribute significantly to the feeling of tension during combat. Players expecting modern production values may find the presentation somewhat dated, yet those familiar with independent retro shooters will likely appreciate its straightforward approach. Despite its strengths, Monument is not without flaws. The limited storytelling and occasionally uneven difficulty may alienate some audiences, while the modest visual presentation reflects the constraints of its independent development. Certain encounters can feel overly punishing, and the lack of additional gameplay modes reduces long-term replay value. However, these shortcomings are balanced by the game's commitment to delivering a focused experience. Monument never attempts to be a sprawling blockbuster; instead, it succeeds by understanding its audience and offering exactly what fans of classic shooters expect. In the end, Monument stands as an enjoyable tribute to the FPS games that defined an era. Its fast-paced action, varied level design, and unique teleportation mechanic combine to create an experience that feels both nostalgic and distinct. Although it may not appeal to every player, especially those seeking narrative depth or cutting-edge visuals, it remains a worthwhile title for enthusiasts of retro-inspired shooters. It is a testament to how much can be achieved when a developer concentrates on strong fundamentals and a clear creative vision. Rating: 7/10
Honestly? For a cheap asset flip Indie game it's honestly not that bad. Reminds me of the original Painkiller but just not as polished. The textures are bland but meh could be worse. The rock soundtrack with the Guitars is generic but fun to listen to whilst you hold down mouse one. Unlike Warhammer 40,000 Fire Warrior (Classic) This indie asset flip FPS actually gets the basics right. The mouse movement, The weapons actually fire where you point them. It's actually fun to play. Funny to think an Indie dev is more competent than the People that did Warhammer 40,000 Fire Warrior (Classic). My only issues with the Game was that the final boss had their health bar disappear and it became immortal lol. A restart easily fixed that. Also an enemy got stuck in a wall once... No big deal wasn't game breaking. Also the mouse sensitivity default was really low but unlike Warhammer 40,000 Fire Warrior (Classic) this is an easy fix in the settings menu. If you have a couple of hours to kill and just want to hold down mouse 1 and kill some ♥♥♥♥ and get an easy 100% Achievements you can do much worse than this game. I just wouldn't pay full price for a game that lasts 2 hours.
Woooo! This is a great little game. I like the name of the game a lot. I am confused on the negative reviews though they do bring up some good points. The biggest issue is the controls. The jump and strafe are a bit odd, but it does not make the game unplayable at all just something you'll notice. You can turn up the sensitive which'll help out a ton, but it still won't remove the flaw overall. The music does not over stay it's welcome. Some might even be into it. For me it's great and it's not something I'd go out of my way to mute. Definitely feels like that 90s roomy Aracade ISO style music you'd get on a Sega CD or a PC Engine game. It's great! I like the darkness and the overall vibe of the game. the SFX are nice, too. I am not sure how I feel about enemies spawning behind you and enemies overall do tend bug out quite often preventing you from shooting them. The length of the game is a con I wish it was longer, but it is 2 dollars not 30! What I would like to see: A second game where it fixes out all the flaws and the game ads in more variety with longer gameplay and a higher cost to compensate the development $10-$40 dollars for example. I also like the donar station mechanic a lot and my favorite monster is the one that shrinks into tiny smaller ones when you shoot them. At 2 dollars you can't go wrong if you like boomer shooters!
