Monster prom stats
Over the top isn’t an understatement as the game has a fantasy theme to it – most characters are charmingly unrealistic: a robot, an edgy demon, a girl haunted by an evil spirit and so on… Should you want to play a small session, you can play a solo session for half an hour or go longer games with friends and laugh at the histerical over the top writing and game events.
Game length can be configured surprisingly – Monster Camp can be played in Single-Player (Short and Long Games are 30 and 60 minutes long, respectively) or Multiplayer (with a 4 player game being the longest – going up to 2 hours). Sure, your answer to the question means you showed a personality trait that interested that specific character but you can always try to win the heart of another one! The open-endedness of the gameplay and the interactions is brilliant and easily shines thanks to the fantastic writing that got me genuinely laughing out loud frequently. It’s worth noting that you don’t actually HAVE to go with that person the game decided to give you. Each item gives you different stat upgrades (your stats are Fun, Boldness, Creativity, Charm and Smarts) which will shape how you’re perceived by others in the final day when you’ll ask your “crush” on the dreaded date.Īfterwards, you’re presented with a questions with multiple answers you can pick from – your answer will determine who is the person out of the possible 6 you’ll start to have a closer relationship with. Once your character is picked you now have to choose what you “brought” to summer camp – an array of items randomly picked from a pool is presented and you can pick 3, all amusingly over the top such as a “Book of Orgy Etiquette”, a spork or even a satanist kit. You start on the bus to summer camp and get to pick between 4 characters which don’t seem to be different between eachother – only a cosmetic choice you find fitting for you and your personality. I haven’t played the original Monster Prom so I only know the basic concept of it but I will definitely pick that one up as I’m curious to see how the school environment was approached just like Summer Camp was in this sequel. In theory it’s the same, just in a different environment. Instead of a Prom, you need to ask someone from Summer Camp to go watch the Meteor Shower with. The original was basically asking a school mate out on Prom while the sequel just changes the concept but keeps the execution similarly.
Short but fantastically replayable, extremely well written and a huge variety of events lead to a game that last as long as you want it to, especially if you gather some friends and have some laughs together should you be okay with a reading-heavy gameplay experience. Monster Camp on paper sounds like a compelling and unique game, a dating sim visual novel crossover that manages to include not only roguelite elements but also a compelling multiplayer experience up to 4 players.Īnd on execution… it’s great as well! With a lot of combinations, possibilities further enhanced by the endless possibilities and combinations of multiplayer, Monster Prom is one of the finest games I’ve played of the mutated genre I can’t even quite pinpoint what it really is.
