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.

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.

I've played this game multiple times over the years on PS3. Only recently picked it up on Steam. The ultimate edition is a nice touch as it packages all the DLC and feature upgrades the PS Vita version of the game received, and packages it here on Steam. I've been greatly enjoying this game on Steam Deck, as well as playing some local coop with my brother recently. It performs flawlessly, is an extremely beautiful game to look at (despite coming out in 2007!) thanks to it's timeless art style, and is easy to pick up and put down. Despite this, it is rather challenging, so expect to replay levels multiple times. It's "old school" in the sense that it lacks what modern games typically will incorporate to alleviate the pain of failing something by having some type of experience or leveling system where at least you came away with SOMETHING at the end of the mission if you didn't pass it. The only thing you come away with here is gaining insight in to what you might need to do differently the next time you try. This way you can slowly evolve your strategy over time until you finally nail it and get that pesky "Rainbow", which is to complete the level without letting any enemies in to your Tiki Hut. Cooperative play is a nice addition, though doesn't necessarily make the game any easier. An addition of a second player essentially divides your resources in half. Unless you're actively communicating about your strategy, it can make for a frustrating time very quickly. With that said, it's extremely rewarding to get it right, and despite being challenging, still very much worth the experience with a friend. The game has separate paths for solo and cooperative play, as well. So if you want to truly 100% the game you will need to do both (or plug in a second controller and let one player just sit around ha!). Overall, I would highly recommend this game to any person who enjoys tower defense games. As a previous console only player, this was actually my first experience with the tower defense genre back in 2007. It is as good now as it was back then. Truly a timeless game.

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 ~
